As Seen In

When Cindy saw an ad for Step One Foods on Facebook, she was skeptical -- until she clicked over to the ingredient list.

As a retired cardiac nurse and former fitness competition participant, she was determined to lower her cholesterol through diet as much as possible. And when she discovered that Step One Foods are rooted in whole food ingredients, her skepticism turned to hope.

“My family cardiac history is about as bad as it gets,” she says. “Dang genes!”.

When she experienced chest pain in November of 2020 and received two stents, she knew she needed to find a better solution than simply increasing her statin dosage or facing an expensive injectable. She had never tolerated medications well, and she blames statins for muscle pain and raised glucose levels.

A solution rooted in whole food ingredients.

Cindy started incorporating two daily servings of Step One into her already healthy diet, in addition to her Pravachol and Zetia statin prescriptions.

Two months later, her total cholesterol went from 352 to 170, and her LDL decreased from 257 to 87.

When she shared her result with her cardiologist relatives, both were impressed, noting that the low dose of statins alone would not have lowered her cholesterol so significantly

    A little extra pizazz :)

    Great. It is my favorite because it goes on or in almost anything. My favorite is to add it to my Greek yogurt, but I also sprinkle it on my cereals, fruit, and even my green salads.

    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.
