Answers to your questions
Why aren't my statins enough?
Statins are not nearly as effective at influencing outcomes as you might think. Statins do work and they do reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in those with established heart disease – to the tune of 24%.
However, studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet reduced cardiovascular events in patients with heart disease by a whopping 37%. That makes food one and one-half times as powerful as drugs! In our clinical trial, Step One Foods was proven to lower LDL cholesterol by up to 40% in just 30 days! Food truly is power. What you eat is critical to your health. And no drug can compare.
When can I use food instead of medication?
Cholesterol-lowering medications like Lipitor and Crestor, also known as statins, are frequently prescribed by physicians to people with high cholesterol levels. But many people are resistant to taking statins due to the potentially painful side effects or they simply don't want to have to take a medication every day!
Learn about the 4 main categories of people who are candidates for statin treatments for cholesterol management. If you are using food to lower your cholesterol, you should approach your efforts just as if you were using a medication. Follow-up with blood tests to measure how your efforts are working. Effects of dietary change can be seen in as little as 30 days.

How do you use the program?
Step One Foods was developed to be as simple as possible: Eat, Repeat, and Test! Just eat two servings a day of your favorite Step One Foods products as a substitute for something you’re eating now. Typically, this looks like a Step One breakfast and a snack bar later in the day. Continue enjoying 2 servings per day for at least 30 days and test your cholesterol to see your results! No additional dietary changes or daily workouts are required. Our snacks and meals are designed to fit easily into your everyday life.
How soon will I see results?
Step One Foods products were developed by cardiologist, Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, and have been proven effective through a randomized clinical trial subject to the same standards as pharmaceuticals. On average, participants saw a reduction in bad cholesterol by 9% after 30 days.
Every serving of Step One Foods contains the precise levels of key nutrients proven to help lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that a change in diet can yield a significant impact on cholesterol levels in as little as 30 days. Effects on overall blood sugar control and weight will take longer.
Do these products help with weight loss, lower blood pressure and/or lower blood sugar?
Step One Foods products are highly nutritious and very satisfying. High fiber content, complex carbohydrates and healthful fats ensure slow digestion and lower, steadier blood sugar levels, keeping you feeling fuller longer.
Our foods are also meant to be used as a substitution for something you were eating before, which typically represents a calorie reduction and may lead to weight loss. And nearly all Step One Foods contain minimal to no sodium. Studies have shown that when you reduce sodium consumption and increase the intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, you can attain significant blood pressure reductions.
What ingredients are in the products?
You can read our full ingredient glossary here.
Two daily servings of Step One Foods supplies at least 10 grams of whole food fiber, 4 grams of ALA omega 3 fatty acids, 2 grams of plant sterols, and 5000 µmoL antioxidants per day through our carefully selected ingredients.
Each 10 grams/day increase in whole food fiber intake is associated with a 14% decrease in the risk of experiencing a coronary event and a 24% decrease in dying from heart disease.
Each 1 gram increase in ALA Omega 3 intake is associated with a 16% reduction in the risk of heart disease.
Eating one extra serving of fruits or vegetables daily is associated with a 4% decrease in the risk of heart disease and a 6% decrease in the risk of ischemic stroke (the 5000 µmoL of antioxidants in Step One Foods is what you’d find in 3 servings of fruits and vegetables).
Taking in 2 grams of plant sterols, in 2 servings, reduces LDL cholesterol by up to 15%.
Will Step One help me get off my statins or help me avoid statins?
Step One may help you decrease your statin dosage or even get off your statin altogether! If you are not currently taking a statin, Step One can help you avoid needing a statin prescription. If you are currently prescribed a statin by your physician, you should not discontinue it unless you consult with them.
To most accurately assess how Step One Foods is impacting your cholesterol, you should take your statin in conjunction with Step One Foods twice per day. After 30 days of consistent use, you can test your cholesterol levels; if there is an improvement (or even similar readings) you and your healthcare provider can discuss adjusting your prescription.
Is there really a 100% money-back guarantee?
We want you to be happy with our products and your results. If you don't enjoy one or more of your choices, we will gladly provide you with an exchange or a refund. Our guarantee applies to first time orders, or up to one month's worth of food cost.
