Cardiologist's snack brand lowers cholesterol without medication

A Mayo Clinic and John Hopkins trained physician is challenging the medical system’s approach to preventive cardiology. Elizabeth Klodas, MD, hopes to one day put herself out of work with Step One Foods, a brand of meals and snacks designed to improve heart health.

The Minnesota-based cardiologist spent two decades treating patients before launching the business in 2007.

5 reasons why people choose Step One Foods instead of more drugs:

1) The results were clinically validated in a Mayo Clinic Study

A randomized multicenter clinical trial at Mayo Clinic and University of Manitoba proved that Step One Foods was effective in lowering cholesterol in just 30 days.

I have blood work done every six months for a health condition. After a month it was time for my lab work. My doctor noted that my cholesterol looked really good. Made a believer out of me! I am telling everyone.

2) Statins block the body’s ability to make more cholesterol. Step One Foods block the body from absorbing it in the first place.

Step One Foods are clinically formulated to block cholesterol absorption and reabsorption in the digestive system, actively reducing the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream.

Took this for 30 days and just received my lab results, amazing! All my numbers were improved. LDL went from 158 to 119. Total Cholesterol went from 231 to 191.

3) Step One Foods are an easy way to lower cholesterol while avoiding unpleasant statin side effects

Some people are unable or unwilling to take statins due to side effects such as muscle pain, liver function abnormalities or changes in cognitive function. Step One Foods can lower cholesterol and improve your cardiovascular health- without an overreliance on medication.

My total cholesterol dropped 30 points after one month of eating the Step One Foods! My doctor agreed to keep me off statins and recheck my cholesterol after 6 months to see if my cholesterol continues to decrease.

My LDL improved by more than 80 points. I'm a physician and I did not believe it was possible, so I tested my cholesterol at two other facilities. The tests confirmed the results were real and I was thrilled.

    Super Delicious!

    I am very impressed with how good these taste, because I was wary that science based nutrition usually equates to sawdust tasting food stuffs.

    I did have 2 questions on 2 separate occasions and the CS humans were quick to respond, but not just a quick answer, a detailed answer. Really impressed with both product and company. Good stuff.

    Bluebery Oatmeal

    Delicious with great results. The combination of starting a low dose statin and Step One Foods led my cholesterol level to plummet from 265 to 135 in six weeks!

    Did the trick nicely

    First and foremost, my LDL and total cholesterol have dropped immensely inside of the month I have been using Step One Foods. My blood lipids are where they should be now, and it's been years since I could say that. While very important, weight loss and exercise alone were not enough to achieve this. Secondly, the starter pack help me find which foods I prefer. I've placed my second order and am looking to forward to continued success while eating the Step One products that I most enjoy.

    Best mix with salads

    Goes really well when added to salads with Italian, balsamic, or avocado vinaigrette, the salad tastes very delicious with cut avocados as a side salad or main salad. With the combination of anytime sprinkles and the strawberry banana smoothie mix, my total cholesterol dropped from 287 to 238 in 30 days. That is very impressive and a total game-changer! Word needs to be spread around the world!

    A treat I look forward to eating.

    The Apple Cinnamon Bar is one of my favorite Step One Foods. I use it as a dessert following one of my meals and I never get tired of it. It is quite refreshing and I do enjoy the consistency of the healthy ingredients.
