Take step one
to better health.

“LIllington, North Carolina is my home. My journey fighting cholesterol is a long one…Have various health issues that contribute to the fight and cannot jump on the exercise ban wagon as far as aerobics but I do walk. My diet has been heart healthy for years but nothing seemed to help. Absolutely did not want to go on statins but being genetically prone to have cholesterol issues, it was time. But then a Step One ad popped up. It made sense. So i gave it a try. The numbers below say it all. 1st numbers are in Nov 25 and 2nd numbers are June 2026. Total Cholesterol 305 - 258 Triglycerides 281 - 164 HDL. 46 - 48 VLDL. 56 - 31 LDL. 203 - 179 My Lipoprotein A is still 281, which is high. Honestly, i am still learning… But i was eating all the right things, oatmeal, chia seed, salmon, taking Fish Oil , a supplement called Cholestsure, dark chocolate (And in Nov was walking 5,000 steps a day) my numbers kept going up. Started Step One Foods and look at those numbers, 117 drop in triglycerides plus since Dec 31 have been sedentary due to Achilles Tendon Surgery. FInally can now walk abt 2,000 steps a day so it was the Step One Products that dropped the numbers as my diet did not change as it was already heart healthy. And guys, i enjoy my Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter Holidays and allow myself to eat off my diet those days . I am just so thankful . IT IS THE PRODUCT. Looking forward to the numbers continue to drop. Oh, and i lost 10 pounds, which is a plus but again I do count calories right now especially until I can start back walking. So hope Step One Foods help you as they have helped me..”

“After years of my total cholesterol hoovering in the low 200s and LDL sneaking upwards, my latest bloodwork shows total cholesterol is down to 171 and LDL 83 after just 6 weeks on One Step foods. Happy!”

“I was searching for an alternative to taking a statin that my doctor told me I needed to maybe consider during my visit last year (2025). I asked her to give me some time to work on it more naturally and went to work scouring the internet. Thankfully, I found Step One Foods and after reading the reviews and the website info about the doctors who started Step One, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I was pretty faithful to the twice a day and just got my results back one year later! Total cholesterol is down 34 points! From 297 in summer of 2025 to 263 summer of 2026! My HDL is steady at 86, Tri down from 73 to 47 and my LDL down from 196 to 167.8!! I am THRILLED!! I am going to continue with the program to see if I can continue the downward trend and love that I was able to do this without adding a prescription drug. Thank you so much!”

“30 days and my LDL is down 25 points!”

“I am so grateful to have found Step One Foods. As a healthy, slender, and active 70 year-old person, I was shocked when my recent blood tests showed high cholesterol. My doctor and I agreed that before trying statins, I would make changes on my own. I immediately started eating two Step One products every day (I like many of them, but my favorites are the dark chocolate crunch bars and the oat & walnut pancake mix). I know that Step One Foods emphasizes that you don't have to change your diet, but I was determined to get great results fast - and was a bit aware that I'd been easting too much butter (it's gass-fed!) and brie. So I made changes to my diet, based on the healthy heart advice found on the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic websites. I added lots more fish (tinned and fresh), switched to whole grain bread products, replaced most meat meals with chicken (I'm not a big beef and pork eater anyway), reduced my consumption of cheese and full-fat dairy (but did not eliminate it), emphasized fruit, vegetables, and legumes even more than I had been, and switched out butter (yes, even grass-fed butter) on my toast for Benecol margarine, which tastes good to me and has plant sterols. All this took focus, but I never felt deprived because it was a refinement of the way I eat anyway, and I didn't deny myself special treats. So, yesterday, I did another fasting blood test. The results: Cholesterol: 189 down from 228 LDL: 105 down from 134 (100 or less is ideal, so I'll keep working on this) Non HDL Cholesterol: 114 down from 143 HDL: 75 down from 85 Triglycerides: 43 (these have always been normal for me) Yay! All normal now and I feel that I've found a way of eating that works for me and is delicious. Thank you Step One Foods.”

“I’m grateful to have stumbled upon Step One Foods on Facebook. I eat health, walk 6 miles a day and take an omega 3 supplement yet my cholesterol was climbing and my cardiologist wanted me to take a statin. On April 16 I began enjoying 2 step one foods every day and was super stoked with my May 18 blood work! Total Cholesterol dropped 55 points- 261 to 206. LDL dropped 51 points from 189 to 138. My good cholesterol has always been high, which is what you want and unchanged. Triglycerides dropped 27 points from 106 to 79. LDL cholesterol calcium dropped 27 points from 167 to 120 with overall ratio 3 from 3.7. My cardiologist ordered blood work again in July and hopeful all will be in normal range and medication discussion will end. I’m a believer and a new lifelong customer of One Step Foods. If you are on the fence try it! You’ll be amazed.”

“High Cholesterol had dogged me for years, and I couldn't make much meaningful progress in changing it. I was feeling a bit desparate, when I saw the pitch online, and while sceptical, thought it worth a try. The foods/ snackes are easy to work with, and tasty, and I kept at it. With a doctors appt just 30 days after I started, I figured a Lipid panel would indicate if I should keep on with StepOne. When lab report appeared on my patient portal a couple days later, I actually checked to make sure it had my name on it. I still expect someone to tell me, sorry, that's not your report. My overall cholesterol went from 233 to 150, nearly a 40% drop My LDL went halfsies -- from 144 go 72. HDL from 92 to 73. I don't know the meaning of many of the other ratios, but every number is closer to the Reference range listed, and there are no numbers in RED, meaning high. Ill be speaking with my doctor in a couple weeks, so can get my questions answered on what those specific numbers mean, but it all looks good. As long as that's really my Lab report. I will certainly keep using StepOne Foods, to see if there are any more reductions possible and to help me maintain these nice numbers. If there was one thing Id change is Id like to see less packaging, although that's really more of a process question, Im guessing. If it was possible to do some bulk or more sustainable packaging Id feel even better about everything. So thanks for the Science -- happier heart here!”

“In Nov '25 my blood test results were 215 total cholesterol and 145 LDL. Started Step One in Jan and in May my results had dropped to 188 / 121. I have 9 blood test results on file since 2016 and none have been this low.”

“I tried it years ago and have been using it faithfully. I was very impressed with the results and couldn;t believe it. It works is all i can say. Just try it and see for yourself.”

“Well, the numbers were not as low as I had hoped; but there was definitely improvement. LDL was 140 last year and now 129. So happy about that. HDL was 56 last year and now 71. Total was 227 last year and now 225. My ratio was always in a good range. I wanted to be below 200 for my total, but I am not stopping. Your food is what I did differently, and I am sticking with it. Triglycerides went from 178 to 137. So happy about that. Thank you for your support.”

“I was on statins for years and had terrible muscle problems and fatigue. Doctors wouldn’t listen to me and blamed it on other things. Finally I had to get a new doctor and she listened and took me off. My cholesterol started to climb a little and I was getting concerned. I found Step One and decided to try it. To be very honest, I was skeptical. I just got my numbers after a little over 5 weeks. Total went from 250 to 200 and ldl from 186 to 141! Triglycerides are normal! I’m a believer and can’t wait to see my next set of numbers. Thank you so much! I’m telling family and friends about it!”

“I had bloodwork in October 2025 and started Step One Foods in November 2025. April 29, 2026 I had cholesterol bloodwork again, and my LDL went from 170 to 115. My overall cholesterol was 246 in October, and it dropped to 192 in April 2026. Eating Step One Foods also encouraged me to improve my diet with a lot of fresh veggies, fresh fruits, good fats, and protein. I’m looking forward to lowered bloodwork again in six months due to Step One. I showed my primary doctor a cherry-pecan bar, and she was very interested in the foods and excited for me. I have never been on statins, and now I know I won’t be!”

“The last 3-4 years my doctor told me my cholesterol numbers were not normal and creeping up. Last year he really wanted to push Statins but I told him not yet, I wanted to try something else first. Fully intending to take the statins if my numbers were not in range at my next test, I searched for solutions. I ran across the StepOne site and read the testimonials. The testimonials along with the explanation of the science convinced me; I decided to give it a shot. I just got my test results back moments ago and everything is the green, normal where previously they all stated abnormal. Although my numbers did not start as high as some of the others, my numbers with from 206 to 182 and my LDL from 138 to 116. Most days I ate the 2 servings of a StepOne product (Pancakes & Chocolate Bar). On rare occasions, if I couldn’t do the (2) at least (1), almost never a day went by without any. I was already exercising and watching my diet so StepOne products (along with prayer) worked. I found out that eliminating Junk/Fast foods does not mean the foods you do eat are Heart healthy. Along with the StepOne regiment, I searched out more heart healthy foods. Thanks, StepOne – I’m turning my wife on to this now (Had to make sure it worked 1st) 😊”

“I restarted in earnest with Step One in January and last week ordered a lipids test to see if I had made any progress. Wow. A 42 point drop in cholesterol which put me into the upper end of the “normal” range for the first time in my life. My various docs have pushed me for years to take statins and Lipitor revealed a nasty reaction that made me refuse all other attempts regardless of brand or formulation. Still have work to do with Triglycerides (had a 17 point drop) and low HDL but I am ecstatic with my results!”

“I have struggled with total cholesterol and LDL high levels for several years. I cannot take statins. Kept trying with diet and exercise. In October 2025 Total cholesterol/LDL 243/170.8. Started Step One 10/15/2025. On 4/8/2026 (6 months) levels are 192/129.2. Had my check up today and my MD wanted to know how - told her Step One Foods and she is planning to pass that information along to others.”

“My total cholesterol went from 315 to 267 after 30 days using step one. After several months my number just dropped to 229. Triglycerides went from 519-336 HDL went from 35-42 LDL went from 188 to 131 I was imminently close to going on statins until a friend and one of your customers introduced me to Step One foods. My numbers have gone from extremely high to normal. Thank you very much….. and I just introduced Step One to my sister.”

“About three years ago I had several episodes of ventricular tachycardia which is now under control with meds. The problem seems to be that the meds have led to side effects that required additional meds, each seeming to lead to other side effects. The most recent side effect being elevated cholesterol. My doctor ordered a cardiac calcium test which came back with minor calcium levels. He decided I should go on statins but I refused and told him I wanted to try dietary changes. I started Step One Foods and have faithfully had two servings a day. I have made NO other dietary changes and continue to eat what might be considered unhealthy foods such as hamburgers, steaks and eggs. I waited six months before retesting for cholesterol levels as I was afraid it was all a scam. Was I ever wrong. My good cholesterol went up and ALL the other levels went down to essentially normal. In addition my AC1 results were normal. I had become somewhat concerned about a possible prediabetes diagnosis. My cardiologist was stunned to say the least. I have continued eating two bars a day and will retest in about four months. I am so grateful to have avoided statins and further side effects. So far I have recommended your product to at least three different people who were also concerned about cholesterol levels including one who is a physician. Her husband, a hematologist, was unable to tolerate statins and therefore she was very interested. I feel like a geriatric influencer! (I'm 73) Thank you again.”

“I just had lab results. Total cholesterol went from 260 last year to 223 this year. Was on stepone foods for 2 months. LDL went from 162 to134. Lowest I have ever had. So excited. I will be continuing the program.”

“I finished my 30 day trial and had my cholesterol tested two days later. I am so happy to report that my total cholesterol dropped from 160 to 138, LDL dropped from 71 to 54, triglycerides dropped from 82 to 74, and my HDL remained steady at 74. Additionally, my A1C dropped from 5.7 to 5.5. Needless to say, I will be ordering more Step One Foods and can’t wait to share these results with my cardiologist. I hope I will be able to reduce or eliminate the statins.”

“On 2/5 my doctor placed me on Statins do to high Cholesterol and concerns a possible Cardiac event. I took the statins reluctantly and quit them after ten days because if felt like I was 95 and I would die at any moment (not kidding). I was using Step One and continued using One Step and on 3/31 I had more labs. The results were amazing Cholesterol dropper 41 points as did none HDL, Triglycerides were 88 bottom line is the Doctor said so you continued the Statin and I said no I quit them and this is all diet. His responses was we don't normally see drops like this with just diet to which I said well something is working. BP also dropped by the way now it is just borderline. It seem like magic! Thanks, Ted”

“In September 2025 my cholesterol came at the highest I’ve ever had it. It came in at 259 and my doctor said I needed to be on statins. I refused and told him to give me 6 months to bring it down. I started steponefoods religiously( 2 servings a day), changed my diet and began exercising. I never miss my 2 servings of steponefoods. I always start my day with the oatmeal ( add blueberries, almonds and walnuts sometimes). I use the bars as an afternoon snack. I just received my cholesterol results and now I’m at 199. It’s insane that I brought it down 60 points!!!! Steponefoods has helped bring my cholesterol down more than what they say. I highly recommend Steponefoods!!! Thank you Steponefoods.”

“This product works! My starting total Cholesterol was 289. After 4 weeks of using this product, my total cholesterol was 171!! Now to be transparent, I also took 5 mg of a well known statin occasionally, not daily, for about 4 weeks. I was afraid of the side effects. I 100% believe my success is due to this product! Such a large decrease. I religiously took 2 Step One products daily. Thank you!”

“My cholesterol has been creeping up for the past few years. Diet and exercise were not bringing it down and I really didn’t want to take statins, so I decided to give Step One a try. In barely 30 days my LDL is down 16 points! The food is convenient and delicious and works easily into my routine. I’m eager to see the results after six months. Thank you Step One Foods!”

“My total cholesterol was 304 and after 5 weeks of eating Step One Foods it is now 231. This is the lowest my cholesterol has ever been. As I continue enjoying the Step One Foods, I am hopeful my total cholesterol will continue to lower even more. So thankful to have found these wonderful products that actually work!”

“I was struggling with my cholesterol for the past few years, and I am on the lower end of being prediabetic. In less than 20 days that I have been on this program my total cholesterol went from 224 to 190. My LDL went from 137 to 107, my Non-HDL went from 156 to 125 and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I have tried other products in the past and never could get it down much always still high. Thank you so much for this product. I'm sharing it with everyone I know.”

“I have used Step One Foods for one month. In that time I have gone on a diet, lost 9 lbs, went on a low dose statin and dropped my cholesterol from 298 to 185, a 38% drop. The Step One Foods are so tasty I love substituting what i used to eat with it. They seem to be very wholesome and dont make me feel hungry for a long time. This helps with my dieting. I have tried dieting and statins before and have never achieved results close to this. Thank you for creating such an awesome product.”

“I have to share the phenomenal results I experienced after eating your food bars. Last June my total cholesterol was 256 and my doctor said I absolutely had to go on statins. She agreed to let me try to lower it with natural choices first. For 6 months I took flaxseed oil tablets and ate your step one food bars. 30 days before my blood test I made sure I ate one bar every day. I got another blood test and my total cholesterol was down to 196!! It dropped 60 points! My doctor was amazed at the results. Thank you for offering these tasty, healthy solutions!”

“I had my cholesterol checked in November of 2025, 272. I knew I needed to do something. The last 5 years is been above 250 but this was the highest. I came across the One Step Foods and thought why not try it. I started January 21 2026 and then had bloodwork done March 9 2026. Cholesterol was 220. 52 points down. LDL was down, triglycerides were down. I love the oatmeal and bars, ordered some new things to try. My doctor was impressed and so was I.”

“My LDH has been between 160 -190 for over a dozen years. Within 30 days of starting on Step One products, it was down to 100!! I can’t wait to show my cardiologist and remain off of statin drugs! What a great product.”

“I ordered the Step One starter pack & began the 2 per day routine toward the end of January. I am already taking a statin but my total cholesterol had gone up to 220 in my labs in January. I did the plan for 30 days and redid my labs in February. My total cholesterol had dropped to188! Your food was the only thing I did differently so I knew it was working. I ordered some more of your products to hopefully continue my journey to better cholesterol numbers. I’m so glad I found Step One Foods.”

“My cholesterol LDL went from 132 to 108 in 30 days of eating yummy snacks. I am so happy that I avoided statins.”

“Hello back in September I was told that my cholesterol was 259 and my LDL’s were significantly higher than my HDL as well. I did not want to take medicine and came across step one foods. I just want share that this program really works. It’s not easy, it does take some work in addition to eating at least two step one foods. . By eating this and doing water aerobics at least three times a week. In addition to walking the other days my cholesterol is now at 200. I was shocked with the results and will continue. Hopefully my body has not reached a plateau. Thank you step one foods!”

“My LDL dropped from 162 to 100 in 28 days and my total cholesterol came in at 190, which is lower than it has been in over a decade!! I am absolutely sold on this product. The choices are good and the food is tasty without any undesirable preservatives.”

“Recently had an echocardiogram done with bad results. My EF was at 33%! Had heart surgery 4 days ago to hopefully correct this problem. I have been on Step One for 3 months and even though my heart does not look good my cholesterol was 122. Step one works! and the articles, especially the one about EF, was awesome! Thank you Dr Klodas!”

“I will be a customer for life. Step One is the only thing that has brought my cholesterol down. It’s not perfect yet but with consistency I am confident we’ll get there.”

“MY LDL has been creeping up and I am fighting genetics when it comes to High LDL. I did your products for 30 days and I retested. My LDL was 160 and I am down in 30 days to 143. I am amazed and shocked. I have ordered products again and will continue for another 6 months to see where I end up. I still have a high Apolipoprotein B but not terrible. I will see where this goes too in 6 months. All my other lipid factors are normal. I feel hopeful and if you need a study participant I would do it.”

“Started step one foods with two servings which included oatmeal and sprinkles or bars. Within four days two of the ganglion cysts on my wrists disappeared. My fingers which were inflamed were shrinking in size every day. Just went for my bloodwork and total cholesterol dropped 93 points and my ldl dropped 69 points. I eat really clean to start with and believe the foods just pushed me even further. Great results from good tasting foods. Super easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Everyone should give this a try.”

“I have always had good cholesterol until last year when menopause started taking a toll on my numbers and my cholesterol was well out of range. I started step one foods in October 2025 and I tested again, February 2026 and the Improvement in the cholesterol numbers was significant. I went into this being cautiously, optimistic, and a little unsure, but now that the results are in, I am ecstatic. Total cholesterol went from 222 to 190 , LDL went from 144 to 111.”

“I have been using the step one bars twice daily for only two weeks. I had lab work today and was hoping for a least some lowering of my cholesterol. IN Dec Hdl was 284 w/ LDL 205. I'm so happy. Only 2 weeks and HDL 237/LDL 155. This was a test run. Ordering some for my husband too.”

“My cholesterol tests were out of range, and my doctor prescribed a statin. Unfortunately, the side effects were horrible and I wasn’t able to continue taking it. After finding your products and reading the study results, I decided I had nothing to lose by giving them a try. I followed the recommendation of consuming two portions daily for the past month, and I honestly can’t believe the results in such a short time. The proof is in the numbers: • 12/19/2025 – Total Cholesterol 234, Triglycerides 178, LDL 155 • 1/30/2026 – Total Cholesterol 178, Triglycerides 148, LDL 114 I’m pretty sure my total cholesterol has never been this low. The foods were easy to incorporate into my daily routine, they taste great, and I really appreciate the variety of products to choose from. I will definitely continue using these products!”

“I have not be able to tolerate statins, my healthy diet and exercise don't affect my cholesterol. I started eating two bars everyday for 3 months and had my cholesterol checked. I'm excited to report LDL was lower 13 points, my HDL elevated 15 and total was 208. These are the lowest in 15 years.”

“At my last physical my cholesterol was stupidly high. While I could blame just getting back from vacation, I knew that lifestyle creep was to blame. I knew I wasn't going to give up pretty marbled steaks but I knew adding appropriate fiber was going to be a daunting task. I was skeptical, but even not always getting in 2 servings my total cholesterol went from 262 to 221. My LDL dropped from 180 to 136 and my triglycerides went from 87 to 75. Now my husband wants his own pack!”

“Last time I did bloodwork my lipid tests were all out of range and my doctor wanted to put me on statins. I decided not to take them and looked around for alternatives. I found your products and read your claims and I didn't really believe them but I thought it couldn't hurt to try. I consumed two portions of your foods daily for about 5 months now and just redid my blood work and all my ranges came back well within normal. It was really amazing to see the results personally and can't tell you how excited I was. I also have to say that all your products are delicious and so easy to incorporate into my daily diet. I can't thank you enough for keeping me off statins. I would tell everyone to try these products. They really work. Thank you again.”

“I’ve been using Step One Foods daily for several months and they’ve quickly become part of my regular nutrition routine. I love that the products are not only genuinely healthy, but also really tasty — which makes sticking with them easy. I typically rotate between two products each day and have seen meaningful results. My LDL dropped by about 15%, directly attributable to Step One Foods. It’s rare to find something that works this well while also fitting seamlessly into daily life. My only complaint is that I wish there were even more products to choose from! Step One has been a great partner in my health journey and I’m grateful for the difference it’s made for me.”

“In spite of exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet, my LDL continued to climb over the past several years. I tried medication and had side effects so I thought I would try the Step One food in spite of my skepticism. My LDL decreased from 169 to 125 and as a side benefit, my HDL increased. I believe my LDL is now back to where it was eight years ago!”

“I follow the Mediterranean Diet and exercise regularly taking/teaching yoga, Qigong, aerobics classes and fusion belly dancing. However as I aged my total cholesterol and LDL numbers have continued to rise. I had the same lipid panel taken and evaluated by the same company twice, once before I started eating Step One Foods twice a day and then 6 weeks later. My LDL improved 28.75 points and total cholesterol improved 31.26 points. LDL is now 80.64 and total cholesterol is 153.63. I have not had numbers in this range since I was in my 50's. Step One Foods works!”

“I had a TIA about three months ago and was told I needed to take a high dose of statins as my total cholesterol was 286. The doctor told me that diet would not change my situation because my cholesterol was too high. A friend told me about Step One foods and after two months of using them, my cholesterol total is now 185! A 101 point reduction! I am extremely grateful. I absolutely love the taste and convenience of Step One foods!”

“I’m 53 yrs old, exercise 6 days a week, very active and eat normal diet .. I started the month with my cholesterol at 267 ldl high.. added Step One Foods twice a day and one month later bloodwork read cholesterol at 230! So easy to add into my day and I’m sticking with it! Plus my stomach and digestion so calm and right on track, which has always been a problem! I highly recommend this product”

“I have been eating step one foods for 3 months now. I had my physical last week and my LDL dropped from 173 to 150. My doctor was amazed and even said this is an unheard of drop in 3 months. I gave her the clinical study and she said to keep it up and let’s see what happens in 6 months. I am beyond happy that I found step one foods!”

“I eat a healthy diet, lots of fruits and vegetables, processed or red meats, but my cholesterol would not budge. Have been using your products for about four months. Six months ago my total cholesterol was 227 and my LDL was 130. Blood test yesterday showed total cholesterol 198 and LDL at 98! I’m glad I took a chance on Step One foods!!”

“So happy to report my LDL went down from 151 to 131. The lowest it's been in 4 years. Will stay on track with Step One Foods!”

“Just got labs back! Just eating good food and watching sugar and carbs and fasting every now and then. And lost 10 pounds and walking every day! And eating step one food two times a day! Reduced my cholesterol levels to within normal ranges in 60 days. Hopefully the docs will get off my back about statins now!! LDL went from 162 to 110. Good enough for them I’m thinking. Never going to take Statins…”

“My Primary Care Physician wanted me to take Lipitor. I was very leery of taking it because my mom had very bad dementia. I found step one foods and started in June. When I was retested October 1, 2025 my total cholesterol lowered from 240 point to 224. I eat one or two servings a day and I'm looking forward to seeing my next test. My ratio has always been good but I'm so happy my numbers have drastically improved.”

“I have been using the Step One Program for about 6 months and I just got my first blood work results and all my numbers have improved. My overall total in May of this year was 264 it is now 240. My Triglycerides in May was 240 they are now 160, my VLDY was 45 it is now 29 and my LDL was 170 it is now 159. Even though my overall total is still a little high, I am so pleased that the numbers are headed in the right direction. I cannot tolerate the Statin Drugs so this is definitely a wonderful choice for me. Than you Step One.”

“My cholesterol has been over 200 since my 20s. I exercise regularly, eat healthy, and maintain a normal weight, so I figured it must be hereditary. Recently, my levels shot up even higher, and my doctor wanted to start me on statins. I saw an ad for these bars and decided to try the program — 2 bars a day. After just one month, my total cholesterol dropped from 269 to 231, LDL from 161 to 138, and triglycerides from 83 to 61. I’m honestly amazed by the results!”

“One month after trying starter kit of StepOneFoods I had my cholesterol retested. Could not believe test results … Total C: went from 273 to 227 HDL: 97 to 84 NON HDL: 176 to 143 LDL: 160 to 128”

“Had my annual screening today and I have been eating 2 step one bars a day for 3 months. My overall total cholesterol was down 30 points! The bars are working. I would recommend these bars.”

“I had a short hospital stay in January. I am 76 yrs. Old. The medical team that worked with me assembled to tell me my results of my tests (which were all good) and complimented me on my cholesterol, lipid panel etc.! I told them I had been doing Step one for a few years. They even took notes! I am grateful as heart disease has ravaged my family. Thank you for this alternative better way to stay healthy!”

“Early March 2025, my cardiologist prescribed statins to lower my LDL which was 149. Taking the statins, only for a few weeks, made my joints ache horribly, so I stopped. Shortly after I found the Step One Foods Facebook post and read the science and tried the product. This, along with healthy choices of cholesterol lowering natural foods she suggests, I am excited to share that last week my test results lowered that LDL to 126 and my total cholesterol from 221 to 216. I will continue to use these products in my nutrition plan and suggest trying them as well in yours. I also love the website for the many articles Dr. Klodas shares on nutrition and health! Way to go Doc!”

“I have to admit that in the beginning I was skeptical but thought what do I have to lose, I’ll give it a shot. I’ve just received my new test results and I am a believer. Total cholesterol from 234 - 189 (down 45 pts) LDL 146-117 (down 29 pts).🤯 Imagine what I can do to my cholesterol numbers if I follow Dr. Kloda’s blog information and use Step One as literally the first step. Bravo for preventative medicine!”

“I have used Step One several times to improve my lipid numbers. Recently my numbers were up again. My triglycerides were 350 but after 2 months back on Step One, they are down to 180 and all my other numbers have improved.”

“In 5 months, my cholesterol dropped 63 points to normal without statins. I used 2 Step One Foods, psyllium powder and Red Yeast Rice. The first month it dropped 30 points only using the Step One Foods, but cholesterol was still too high, so I added the powder and the Red Yeast rice, and I even ate pizza and ice cream several times. In the NORMAL range without STATINS! HOORAY 261 down to 197”

“I have been using the Step One program for about it 2 months. I had reached the limit of what I could change on my own. I had eliminated a lot of things from my diet but my cholesterol numbers stayed stubbornly high. The only thing I changed in my diet was eating the snacks twice per day for 2 months. I just got my blood test results and total cholesterol dropped from 214 to 194. LDL went from 127 to 109. I was worried my sugar would go up eating the delicious chocolate bars but it went down also. From 5.7 to 5.5. I still need to increase my exercise levels and cardio so hope to reduce my LDL even further by my next lab test.”

“For the first time in years, my total cholesterol and my LDL have gone down! I’m unable to take statins & have tried all other supplements & diets and nothing worked. I’ve been having 2 Step One Profucts per day for 5 weeks and I just received my lab results from yesterday. I’m down 30 points in total cholesterol and 21 points down on my LDL. My LDL/HDL ratio is now in the average risk range, not very high risk! I’m so thankful for these products & research and I will certainly continue eating 2/day! I will find a way to keep affording this!”

“I began my Step One Food journey August 30, 2025 because I was done taking statins which didn’t help and made me feel bad and the new cholesterol reducing meds causing side effects I couldn’t handle. I had been diagnosed years ago with familial high cholesterol. I just got the results from my new testing and they are astounding. My total cholesterol dropped 35%, from 303 to 197. Triglycerides fell 37% from 300 to 189. My VLDL fell 45% from 60 to 33. My LDL fell from 196 to 121, a drop of 39%. I am so thankful I found Step One Foods!”

“My labs show LDL lowered by 11 in 30 days! Love the snacks and the convenience of taking them on my RV travel this month as I continue on the Step One journey.”

“I today's world, it is often a pleasant surprise when a product works as represented. This one works. My cholesterol went from 222 down to 191 over a 3 month period. I took Step One foods over the last 30 days of that quarter. I would probably not have tried them, if a friend had not recommended them. So I am writing this review to encourage readers to try them. I dont think you will be disappointed.”

“I am ready to share my results from today’s annual visit. I started step one food the sprinkle and almond peanut butter spread back in May 2025. I was a little nervous to try and did not use twice a day just to see how my body would react. I had my blood work done 2 weeks ago. Even though my total cholesterol was 227 n last year 238 only went down 11 points it still went down my LDL went up from last year 2 points. It’s not discouraging me at all. This was a test trial but all my other numbers Trigycerides went from 110 to 70 that’s 40 points HDL was 74 from 80 and VLDL is 12 from 19 last year. If you take following the instructions twice a day I can see for sure numbers even better. I will now go to twice for just taking once this is amazing results and not for a long period of time. Thank you so much! If anyone is hesitate don’t it really does work!”

“My sister had great results with your program so I decided to try it for myself. After one month my cholesterol went from 280 to 238 and my LDL cholesterol went from 192.6 to 135.4. Pretty amazing!”

“Love the products - delicious and so effective! Got my blood work 3 weeks into eating the Step One snacks and my overall cholesterol number is down 30 points, and my LDL is down 20 points! Very excited about this - I'm continuing on as I want to see more good results!”

“I had a lipid panel done today after a little more than a month of twice daily consumption of Step One foods. Before the blood test I told myself to be pleased with any decrease in my numbers, so I wouldn't be disappointed if they didn't go down much. During the last 30-plus-a-few days I purposely did not vary my usual 'sort of OK' diet (except for adding the Step One foods) so as to 'test' the Step One results. I couldn't be more pleased! My total cholesterol dropped 40 points from 209 to 169. My HDL numbers stayed the same at 62. My triglycerides decreased by 18, from 94 to 76, and my LDL went from 132 down to 88. I am tickled and so encouraged by the change in my numbers. At 66 years of age, it's easy to feel things can only go downhill health wise, but improvement is possible! Hooray!”

“I’ve been on the step one program for 30 days. I absolutely love it. I have a physical appt for late November and will get my levels checked then. All the foods are delicious. I’ve noticed I don’t have cravings anymore and I’m not hungry in between meals.”

“My cholesterol has been consistently on the high side since being diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis 25 years ago. I did nothing differently, other than start eating two bars a day, and my total cholesterol went down for the first time in 10 years. I went from 230 to 215 for total cholesterol, LDL went from 150 to 127, and my HDL went from 55 to 62. I'm going to keep eating the bars and hope to see my cholesterol go under 200 at my next check-up in 6 months.”

“Two friends told me they lowered cholesterol by eating Step One Foods. After trying to nudge mine < 200 with diet, exercise and meditation, I added Step One cherry pecan bars, twice a day. In one month, I've seen progress in total, LDL and HDL cholesterol (206-174 mg/dl, 108-95, and 85-65, respectively). Delicious, simple and effective natural remedy with no side effects. Thank you!”

“I've had high cholesterol my entire life. In my late 20's it was 180 and has steadily crept up. It runs in my family, both of my parents have been on Lipitor since it came on the market. Every doctor I have seen has been reluctant to prescribe it to me so I've tried diet adjustments and exercise but the numbers just kept going up. My last test (about a year ago) it was 280. I do have high good cholesterol but all my numbers were high. I saw your ads at that point and thought I'd give it a try. I've been on your program for 3 months and my numbers have gone down 40 POINTS! My good cholesterol has maintained but both my LDL and my lipids (especially) went way down. If you look at my historical cholesterol chart this has never happened. I am VERY impressed and so is my doctor who happily said "Keep doing what you're doing!". I have been concerned about my heart health for years but nothing seemed to work and this finally did. Thank you so much for this amazing product and for finally helping me (without medication!).”

“Back in March 3025 my cholesterol total was 232 (Triglycerides 96, HDL 57 and LDL 158). After about 19 days the new numbers are total cholesterol 184, triglycerides 57, HDL 62 and LDL 121. So between diet changes, exercise and adding the Step one food bars my LDL dropped by 47 and overall total by 48. I will continue to use Step One Foods and will be completing another test in December 2025. I would have waited the recommended 30 days prior to testing, however I already had an appointment. I am excited to see what my numbers are in December considering it will be a continuous 40 days of using Step one foods.”

“My total cholesterol dropped from 231 on 12/11/24 to 192 on 8/13/25. I LOVE the nut butter. It is absolutely delicious, and I love how portable it is. Regardless of temperature, I don't have to worry about it melting.”

“I have been on a journey to naturally lower my cholesterol. Since I have entered perimenopause, my numbers have gone the wrong direction. My doctor thought it was genetic and a small dose of a statin was recommended… I was determined to not rely on medication. So I decided to give this a try . In 30 days my total Cholesterol dropped from 235 to 189! LDL dropped from 165 to 115! I eat healthier but I allow myself to enjoy life! I have more work to do but I am a fan and will continue with Step One. If you are on the fence, give it a try! There is nothing to lose by LDL😃”

“In ONE month: Total Cholesterol went from 230/240's's to 187. LDL went from 130's/140's to 90. My diet and my weight were already very good and I exercise regularly, so I could not imagine this actually would work! This was my last effort at lowering my cholesterol naturally before going on a statin. I was already having oatmeal every morning, so I switched to the Step One oatmeal. I make the pancakes on the weekends as a treat. The bars are delicious, but some have more sugar than I want, so I'm sticking with the chocolate crunch bar. The sprinkles are great in yogurt. My doctor is not going to believe it!”

“I have had several health challenges that started in 2021 w/ COVID-19, and basically chasing my BP and heart rate with various medications that caused more problems including higher cholesterol. After working with my Nephrologist to stop most meds I took the 30 day challenge to try and lower my cholesterol naturally. My blood work was done 7/3 and I started StepOne a few days following. In 2 weeks I noticed I wasn't feeling as hungry. I stopped craving sweets. I was finally having regular BM's where meds kept me near the bathroom, bloated and in pain. By week 3 I was having a hard time remembering to eat 2 snacks because I was satisfied. So I ordered the oats and sprinkles and have one as my breakfast with berries out of the garden. Today I had my follow up blood draw and my cholesterol is down 54, LDL down 45, Triglycerides down 34 and this was not changing my foods except to add StepOne. I believe this is going to improve my intestinal health, as well, without Diverticulitis flare ups. Excited to see where I will be in 90 days!!!!”

“I have been using Step One Foods for over 2 years. The food tastes great and are very easy to fit into my routine. I especially like the chocolate bars and the sprinkles. My lipid profile improved and stayed steady over this period. My HDL even increased. I have tried fish oil and extra exercise and could never get it to budge! I am borderline diabetic and even my A1C was lowered during this time. It is easier to watch my diet with the help of the healthier Step One foods! Thanks for the help from the customer service department. The monthly plan is very easy to manage and free shipping! thanks”

“I had my first lipid profile after 5 weeks on step one foods and all cholesterol levels, triglycerides and blood sugar level dropped significantly. Very pleased!”

“In February, my doctor wanted to put me on statins for high cholesterol. I told her to give me 3 months and I would find a way to lower my cholesterol. I googled and found Step One Foods. It seemed easy enough so I gave it a try. I am so happy I did. My doctor was amazed and asked how I did it. My total cholesterol went from 252 to 195, LDL from 180 to 136 and Triglycerides from 164 to 116. I also lost 20 pounds! My favorite bars are the dark chocolate peanut butter bar and the dark chocolate crunch bar. They taste delicious without the sugary aftertaste. Then I use the Anytime Sprinkles with my cereal, oatmeal or smoothie. It’s that simple. I am on a monthly subscription and it is a daily habit now.”

“At about the six week mark I did the blood work for cholesterol. I saw a 38 point decrease in total cholesterol, a 64 point decrease in triglycerides, a 6 point decrease in HDL, and a 20.8 point decrease in LDL. I am scheduled for another round of bloodwork in three months. I can’t wait to see those results.”

“My LDL has hovered in the 140s and up to 151 for the last few years. My doctor and I have discussed statins, but I've always resisted, thinking there was a way to lower than number another way. I exercise plenty, don't eat fatty foods, but still the number remained high. I ended up trying a multi pronged approach. I increased my daily fiber intake, started eating Step One bars and oatmeal, increased my antioxidant intake, and started drinking Pu-ehr Tea each morning. In six months my LDL is down to 124 - lowest it's been in years - and I'll check again in another six months. I really enjoy the flavors, convenience, and portability of the Step One bars. I'm looking forward to an even lower LDL number in my next lab work.”

“I had my blood work this week and my cholesterol went from 260 to 230 in the 6 weeks since I started eating Step One Foods. They taste good and are doing good things for me. I plan on continuing to lower my numbers without statins even more. Such an easy thing to add to one's diet.”

“First I want to say how amazed I am with the positive results in just 30 days. I’ve never had issues with cholesterol until about 5 years ago. Even though I eat low fat due to gastrointestinal issues, my total cholesterol climbed from 228 to 264. Unfortunately I’ve inherited the high cholesterol issue. That’s even more difficult to fight. After the results on 5-30 of my highest numbers ever I sought other options besides statins which my dr has really pushed. Then I found Step One Foods and was impressed by the development of it. After 30 days my LDL dropped from 176 to 154. Step One Foods really work!! Now I’m on month #2 and will continue with cholesterol testing every 3 months. I have 2 other family members trying it also. I’ve been shouting the praises!”

“In March I was shocked to find out my cholesterol had jumped up to 266! My dr wanted put me on statins, but I wanted to try something more natural. So my doc gave me 3 months to see improvement. Enter Step One. I am happy to report my cholesterol is down to 188! My doctor's response.... WHAT DID YOU DO???! I'm continuing the program to hopefully get lower still. I think i will!”

“All my cholesterol numbers were reduced in one month! I bought the sampler pack and ate two a day as prescribed. I actually retested on day 27 because we were leaving on vacation to Mexico. I got my results and my total went down from 199 to 171. I will continue with my subscription. I’m trying a couple new snacks in my next delivery.”

“I haven't had my blood work done yet, but with Step One, I'm getting the daily fiber I need to have normal stools and the food is healthy and delicious! I'm also down 10 lbs! This has been a game changer!”

“Apart from lowering my slightly elevated cholesterol markers to within normal range after the first 2 months, a big side effect of eating an oatmeal and bar plus a bit of fresh fruit every day is that my snacking is way down and I am now at a steady ideal weight. Also, I am more aware of the health impact of what I eat generally at dinner. Occasionally for a change, I’ll swop one of them out for some grape nuts and yoghurt, plus a bit of fresh fruit or nuts. Just done my third big order and although my next doc check is only October, I have no doubt i will remain in good shape. Daily exercise is important too. Yes, I wish Step One was a bit cheaper, but it really does work and it’s an easy, albeit boring, routine to stick to. Just give it a try — it’s way better than any medication.”

“I have been battling "high" cholesterol for a while now and so desperately want to stay away from statins. Through my research online about ways to treat cholesterol naturally, Step One Foods was brought to my attention. I decided to give it a try after I had taken my blood test where my cholesterol count was 245. I am pleased and thankful to report that when I took my blood test 30 days later, my total cholesterol count was 215!! 30 points down in 30 days!! I'm so thankful for this product and thoroughly enjoy the "sprinkles" on my oatmeal with blueberries every morning and look forward to my bar in the afternoon for my snack. Such an easy transition for me to incorporate just two of these yummy items into my lifestyle in a day. The bars are so satisfying that I'm not looking for something else to snack on! Thank you Dr. Klodas for the research and the care given in creating these products!!”

“I've had decent cholesterol numbers my whole life and then menopause hit and it started to go up every year, little by little. I was at a point where my overall cholesterol was at 260 and my doctor started mentioning taking a statin. I really didn't want to take a drug for this as I've heard about the side effects. And, I don't take any other medication and I love being able to say that and didn't want to change if I could help it. I found Step One online and decided to give it a try. I bought bars, the pancake mix and the everything sprinkle and ate one of them twice a day for two months. I went last week and had my cholesterol rechecked and everything had gone down. My overall was reduced by 51 points. My LDL went from 164 to 123 and my triglycerides went from 116 to 76. So, I am going to keep doing this and hope to get to a truly low cholesterol number within the year. The best part of this is that I love the foods I am buying from Step One. My favorites are the Walnut bar, the chocolate crunch bar and the pancake mix. All of them are delicious and so easy to incorporate into my day. I am thrilled with the results and I'm telling all of my friends. Try this and you won't be sorry!”

“I found out at end of April that I have moderate left carotid stenosis… which is a 50-70 percent blockage. Shock to me as I am thin and athletic. I’m 58 and doc wants me on statins. I decided to REALLY clean up my diet, dump the sugar and try Step 1 Foods. ( I think inflammation is a strong culprit and I said goodbye to sugar). No more donuts, eggs, red meat, cookies or ice cream. I may have overdid it but the arterial blockage news terrifies me. Watched my saturated and trans fat intake like a hawk. In six weeks, my total cholesterol went from 230 to 174; LDL 129 to 92 and Lipo protein B from 110 to 66. (LipoA was fine at 24). I was stunned and so relieved at the results. I worked really hard. I learned to control my sugar cravings and made smarter food choices. I always worked out and lifted weights which controlled my weight. But I don’t want to stroke at 70 (or sooner) so I can’t play around anymore. I actually feel so much better, stronger, more energetic. I feel great knowing that Step One foods are working with me in my battle to get my numbers down. I need to get them even lower due to the blockage which cannot be reversed but I can slow down the progression. I can back up my statements with lab work if anyone needs proof. I plan to stay on StepOne foods for life.”

“My doctor wanted to put me (68 yr old male) on statins after my blood work on 5/1/25 came back with my Total cholesterol of 230, LDL Cholesterol of 155 and Non HDL Cholesterol of 171. I started The Step One program on 5/9/25 along with eating healthier. The results are nothing short of amazing! Test results on 6/9/25 Total Cholesterol of 168, LDL Cholesterol of 99 and Non HDL Cholesterol of 113. Thank You Step One!”

“The Step One Foods program is a life-saver! My entire life has been spent with high cholesterol (in the 300s) and trying every statin available resulted in major medical side effect issues and no success in lowering it. Diet and exercise alone would drop 30 pounds of weight but increase my cholesterol! I started Step One Foods a month ago as a skeptic. After 30 days and recently receiving lab results showing my total cholesterol and LDL dropped by 25 points, I am now a cheerleader for Step One Foods and have placed my next order! Even my primary care physician was amazed at my lab results and now supports my efforts! Thanks again!”

“I have always had high cholesterol....over 200. My doctor tried putting me on statins, but I had adverse side effects. Last summer 2024, my levels were at 301 . My doctor was having fits over it. I began using Step One .....last October my levels went down to 276.....I just had a retest in May and my levels are now at 243. The only change I had made was consistently using your products. Many thanks for saving me from the "drugs" !”

“Two years ago my total cholesterol was 297 . Last week my total cholesterol was 154. I received a letter from my physician. He told me, he aimed for my LDL to be 100, mine was 92!!! He said, “keep doing what you’re doing”! What am I doing but eating Step One bars once a day. My personal favorite is the Lemon, my husband’s is the Cherry Pecan. I eat them for breakfast or lunch or a snack in the afternoon. I will keep doing what I’m doing!!!”

“My cholesterol has always been high, likely hereditary. In January 2024 it reached a peak leading my primary care physician to strongly suggest a statin. My diet was not that balanced at the time. After some doing some research on diets, I came across Step One and asked my doctor to give me 3 months to see if a change in diet would help. It worked!!! So I continued the Step One diet since January of 2024. Here are the results for Jan 2024, May 2024, and May 2025: TC-301. 243 (after 3 months), and 238 (after 15 months) LDL-197, 150 (after 3 months), and 132 (after 15 months) HDL-95, 81 (after 3 months), and 95 (after 15 months) The latest blood test results were the best in the past ten years. It was the easiest program to adopt and the results have been fantastic. Will continue the progress with Step One.”

“It definitely works! Just got my results and my numbers decreased by 35 points. I tried to stick to 2x a day but wasn’t always able to but I still received the results I was hoping for. I have a system now and I will be sticking with Step One.”

“I love these products. They are delicious, full of fiber and little sugar. My cholesterol decreased 20 points and my diet has not changed a bit. It took 30 years to see it move souch. Highly recommend!!!”

“I had high cholesterol for many years. I read about this product and decided to try it. Within 3 months my cholesterol was in the normal range. I have been using this product for years now and love it. I consider it a miracle worker!”

“I wanted to thank you for helping me lower my cholesterol. I have been working hard the last couple of years to do so. By managing my diet and working out I was able to bring it down from 280 to 238. By introducing Step One Foods I have now brought my cholesterol down to 204!”

“Hello: I have been eating Step One Foods here and there for about 5-10 years. I first heard about them from a Star Tribune article. I recently had my labs done again, this time after going through menopause, and went up yet again to 254. I am 53 years old and have some family history of heart disease. So I told my doctor to give me 6 months to be consistent with dietary changes to see if my body would respond. I am healthy, not overweight and active otherwise. I decided to go in for labs on my own after 3 months of dietary changes to encourage me in the journey. I just got my numbers back this morning and my total cholesterol has gone done 50 points! So I am almost back to 200 or less. That is a 20% reduction! I am thrilled. I was not perfect with my changes, but very consistent. I ate two Step One Foods a day, went off of eggs and red meat and tried to stay plant based for breakfast and lunch. I also limited my dairy a bit. I look at Step One Foods as great breakfast and lunch options. I have almost all your items in my pantry (except the smoothie mix) and so have many meal options from this variety. It reduces my grocery bill and helps me eat plant based with the convenience of pre packaging. I will stay the course and hope my numbers are reduced a bit more in the fall when I go back and test with my primary doctor. Thanks for giving us options for medication! I am wondering if you would ever have a savory nut mix as a new food item. :)”

“One Step Foods is amazing!!! I am very impressed with your product! For 30 days I switched two meals/Snacks with Sprinkles and Apple Cinnamon Bars everyday. My LDL dropped 35 points! I have tried for years to lower with diet without any luck! I highly recommend!”

“I started Step One last year and since then my total cholesterol has dropped from 187 to 158. My LDL had remained stubbornly at 114 no matter what diet regimen I was on and dropped to 99 in 30 days. I am very pleased with the program and signed up for automatic shipments after the first 30 day results. I am highly allergic to statins which caused rhabdomyolysis in less than 30 days! Step One is a safe alternative for me. I love the bars and find them so convenient. I usually get the Crunch Bar, Peanut Butter Bar and Walnut Bar. YUM! My LDL continues to remain stubbornly too high, but I will stick with the program hoping for even better results.”

“Step One Foods Anytime Sprinkle What a perfect name for this product. I’ve just tried it and found it to be a very sweet tasting treat, a sprinkle at a time, or a whole packet at a time. I read on someone’s post at Step One Foods that said they used this not only to sprinkle on whatever foods they care to use it on, but they also use it kind of like a teaspoon full at a time as a snack. The thought of using that as a snack was extremely appealing to me. I eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same times every day. Sometimes, at the end of the day I just want something to satisfy any urge that I have to eat something else because I am slightly hungry. So, I thought I would try the Anytime Sprinkle. This works perfectly for me. I get to satisfy that urge to eat something, while also filling my desire to eat something sweet. Anytime Sprinkle fits this bill for me perfectly. I can go on and on here but wanted to make an important point about Step One Foods in general. I’ve been using Step One Foods for approximately three years now. While recently having a conversation with my aunt I was trying to explain to her how I feel since I started using Step One Foods.The only thing I could think of that made perfectly good sense was that I absolutely and positively feel 20 years younger. I am now able to spend 15 minutes sometimes up to three times a day on my treadmill, whereas before using Step One Foods, if I made one minute on the treadmill without feeling like I was gonna fall over from heart pounding, and breath shortening, well then I was doing good. But since using these products from Step One Foods , I feel like a completely different person. I highly recommend these products to anyone that is entertaining the thought of trying Step One Foods. Also, I should let you know that I took 29 points off of my cholesterol number very very quickly. Hoping whoever reads this is enticed to try Step One Foods. I can in all honesty say you won’t regret it. This food is no joke, and no hype, these Step One Foods products really really work. Tony Terranova”

“Step One Foods helped reduce my cholesterol by 37 points and my LDL by 38 points when eaten two times per day. I was not able to accomplish these results by diet and exercise only so I am thrilled with the results. Your products are also quite delicious - especially the Dark Chocolate Crunch Bars, the Blueberry Oatmeal, the Sprinkles and the Dark Chocolate Walnut Bars. Thank you Doctor Klodas and Step One Foods!”

“Last September I had some routine blood tests. When I received my results, I was shocked. My cholesterol was 242. I work out and I try to eat healthily but I knew my problem. I am gluten free and it’s hard to find a tasty GF snack so I would whack off a piece of cheese. I used melted butter on my toast, vegetables and potatoes. That needed to stop. I started doing research and found Step One Foods. It was an option I wanted to try. A couple days later my doctor’s office called asking me to come in to discuss my cholesterol. I told her, “Give me 30 days.” I immediately started Step One foods. It was easy. The food is delicious and satisfying. I substituted their blueberry oatmeal for my regular oatmeal. I used their nut butter on toast instead of my regular butter. I ate a Step One bar mid-afternoon for my snack. I gave up butter and cheese unless it was baked into a dish. Thirty days later I requested another test. I was down 25 points to 217. My doctor’s office called and told me I no longer needed to come in, just keep what I was doing. Five months later I requested another test. I was down another 17 points to 200. I am now in the normal range. I want to go down lower. The nurse in my doctor’s office asked me what I was doing so I told her about Step One Foods. She had never heard of them and said she would look into them because some of their patients do not want a statin. I never believed this program would be so easy. The food is fantastic. The customer service is great. Any time I fire off an email with a question I receive a prompt answer. I read every blog and new review. I have become educated on cholesterol and know how much I am ingesting without looking it up. I am in control. I recommend Step One Foods to anyone wanting to bring down their cholesterol. When you talk to your doctor just say, “Give me 30 days.””

“For those of you with FH and have been told that changing eating habits won’t make change…don’t lose heart. Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL hit an all time high at the age of 60. Have had terrible side effects to statins so the cardiologist recommended injectables. Told him I wanted to stick with 10 mg Zetia, change my diet and step up my use of Step One Foods. His response…I don’t think it will work…but you can try. One year later that same dear cardiologist reads my lipid panel and says…what have you been doing? Did a little finger point dance and said…Step One Foods…along with Zetia, no red meat, lots of fish, berries and nuts, a daily walk. The result…the lowest my cholesterol has been in 30 years. Once a high of 324 now 245. LDL 238 to 160. HDL 42 to 60. And to top it off…I’ve lost 8 pounds. Never say never, my friends! Thank you, Dr. Klodas!!”

“I started using Step One Foods in 2024 when my total Cholesterol hit 216 and LDL 133. My total cholesterol dropped to 188 in 2025, and LDL dropped to 101. Reduction most likely would have been better had I decreased the sweet intake. I have a sweet tooth. And if I ate more of the Step One foods than I did. I love the pancakes, and smoothie mixes, but the snack bars are my favorites in this order. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter (Yum!!), Dark Chocolate Crunch with walnuts, I think it is and the lemon almond bar. I also love the oatmeal. All delicious and helps curve my sweet tooth cravings while helping reduce cholesterol levels. Thank you Step One Foods.”

“I must admit i was a little skeptical when i ordered,but after a month my LDL cholesterol dropped from 132 to 78. I was excited so i kept ordering and my LDL varies somewhat but the doctor is satisfied with it staying under 90. Its been about 2 yrs and i still take it. I do take the lowest dose of a statin which my doctor recommended,with no problems. The first month was all Step One so i know that it definitely helps. I am very satisfied and will continue. Some days i have one portion and some two,as i also drink Ensure. I will be 82 and just had my yearly physical. Everything Good. Thanks Step One.”

“I started using Step One Foods in January. My total cholesterol dropped from 240 to 183. My LDL dropped from 167-118! I actually lost some weight, too:)”

“The Step One products provide a superior method for a nutritional approach to good heart health in particular, and a bonus for good general health as well. All of the products that we have tried are excellent, delicious and easy to incorporate into our diets. Our favorites are the Cherry Pecan Bars, Lemon Almond Bars, Apple Cinnamon Bars, the Sprinkles and the Pancake Mix. We just tried the new Nut Butter and it is excellent as well. I am a Registered/Licensed Nutritionist/Dietitian and these are the ideal nutritional products I was waiting for. We love Step One products!”

“I have sincere gratitude for the work, knowledge and dedication to make this, Step One Foods a fabulous product. My cholesterol has been high for years. I always took care of eating healthy however the numbers kept going up and my doctor kept insisting that statin medication was the only way to lower it. After using Step one foods for eight months I was due for bloodwork. My total cholesterol level decreased forty points. I’m so happy I found a healthy and delicious way to be an active participant in my daily health. I plan to continue this program and celebrate my health benefits for years to come. Thank you for listening to my success story.”

“Tried to lower w/diet alone. Did not work so started StepOneFoods & a little statins & the combination lower me to total 198 & dropped LDL significantly. Hope to wean off statins totally in the near future. Love StepOneSmoothie packets added to my yogurt.”

“In just over 4 months of using the Blueberry & Cinnamon Oatmeal product daily, strong nutrition and exercise I have seen great results. Total Cholesterol has dropped 26 points (219 to 193), Triglycerides decreased 103 points (215 to 112), HDL increased 6 points (38 to 44), LDL decreased 13 points (142 to 129) and VLDL decreased 19 points (39 to 20). Will be interesting to see where I end up in a year! Now it's your turn.”

“I was told my cholesterol was a little high so I changed my diet a little and faithfully had 2 portions of Step One Foods every day. I just had my blood checked again and my cholesterol was down. It works, and it all tastes so good also. Thank you!!”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started StepOne, but I knew I needed to do something about my cholesterol. After just 30 days, my cholesterol dropped by 38 points—something I hadn’t been able to achieve with diet changes alone. I feel better, I have more energy, and it’s such a relief to know I’m heading in the right direction. StepOne made it easy to stay on track, and seeing real results has been incredibly motivating.”

“Step One Foods Effective and delicious! After two months on Step One Foods, my numbers all went in the right direction. My cholesterol went from 230 to 195. My LDL went from 143 to 108, and my glucose went from 105 to 95. Not only does this data prove that this product works , but even better, it is absolutely delicious. I can have a bar of chocolate after dinner as a wonderful treat and not feel guilty about it. I feel like I’m eating premium chocolate! You just can’t go wrong with any of these products.”

“I'm beyond thrilled to find out that Step One foods DRAMATICALLY reduced the inflammation levels in my body. My C-reactive protein levels went from 7.34 to 0.83 in 3 months! Both my doctor and I were shocked at this improvement. My blood sugar levels have also improved, with fasting glucose going from 100 to 91. I have tried so many different diets and supplements to improve my inflammation and glucose levels, and I've never had something help as quickly and as significantly as Step One Foods! I'm a customer for life!”

“I have been eating step one Foods for a few years now. I have hereditary high cholesterol, but I am convinced that eating these helpful snacks and breakfast items are helping my overall health. It's good to know what is in the foods that we're eating, and all of these ingredients are clinically proven to help our cholesterol and heart health. I like the anytime sprinkles on yogurt in the morning, and then I eat a bar later in the day. I love being on the subscription plan so that my treats arrive regularly!”

“The product is delivered promptly. My overall cholesterol score has always been in range, but my triglycerides by themselves was high. Since eating step one breakfast and counting carbs, my triglycerides by themselves is in normal range.”

“I have been using step one bars and shakes for about 6 months. The last time I had my cholesterol checked it had gone down a little. My doctor was pleased that it was moving in the right direction.”

“My blood test results aren't back yet, but I can attest to the great taste and convenience of these products. I'm pleased that they're made with whole, natural ingredients. It's great they're all portioned making it easy to incorporate them into my daily routine. My favorites are the pancake mix, sprinkles, apple cinnamon bar and the cherry pecan bars. All taste great!”

“Just turned 93, but hope to live longer and continue to stay active, one way is to eat a healthy diet and keep my cholesterol low. I have Step One peanut butter and sprinkles with yogurt each morning to begin the day and continue to exercise. So far so good and moreover the products are delicious,”

“This food really works . I am 65 years old . I been using Step One Food for almost a year. My cholesterol has been over 200 for years now. The highest it was was 230. 4 months ago it came down to 224. I had my bloodwork done yesterday and it came down to 199. It hasn’t been that in years. I love the products , not only does it work it tastes good. Highly recommend this product. I wouldn’t believe if I didn’t see it for myself.”

“Step One Foods are amazing! I did the recommended 2 servings a day and went from 250 to 218 in less than 2 months. I recommend the pancakes and the lemon bars. The chocolate crunch bar can replace your desert. I am so please with my results and will continue to order these.”

“I’ve tried for over a decade to get my cholesterol down to a normal range without success. After my blood draw today I’m almost there! 🎉 I’m down “62” points for my total cholesterol!!! From 279- 217!!! Just WOW and glory to God!❤️ I’d been prescribed a statin by my Doc in Feb but after a couple of days of taking it, and having weird muscle twitches, and reading about potential side effects including memory loss(!) this wasn’t for me! So I researched. I was thrilled when I discovered a whole food product containing plant sterols called Step One Foods, backed by the Mayo Clinic. So I ordered a starter kit. 6 weeks later.. these are the results!!! I really think with continued prayer, Step One Foods, and for me a healthier whole food diet and exercise I should be able to get it in normal range. I didn’t think this was possible! From what I’m experiencing and so many other testimonials from people who use this product, it is possible to have another alternative to statins. I’m so very grateful. Thank you Step One Foods!!! I highly recommend!!!”

“I was diagnosed with high cholesterol in December. I do not like taking daily medication so I researched natural ways to decrease cholesterol and found Step One. In 30 days I decreased my total cholesterol by 35… 15%!!! I’m not done because I did not eat two servings per day. I will definitely be doing that now. I love the snacks! They are delicious and my favorite is the apple cinnamon bar.”

“I wanted to come back with a follow up to my submission a few months ago. I had my lipid panel rechecked after being on Step One Foods for 6 months. My results were even better this time!! Cholesterol down to 177 (200 after 30 days, 249 prior), LDL 95 (108 after 30 days, 145 prior), Triglycerides 101 (132 after 30 days but this level has always been normal), HDL 63 (always been normal). I’ve never had normal total cholesterol or LDL results since my 20’s. I can’t begin to describe how happy I am with SOF, thank you.”

“I am just thrilled with the Step One Program. I started it mid-2023 after my cholesterol results skyrocketed. Not wanting to take a statin, I started the program. My results went from a Total Cholesterol of 253 to 191 as of March 2025. HDL increased from 62 to 72, LDL lowered 172 to 103 and triglycerides from 110 to 92. I am so happy as heart disease in my family runs high. Thank you! The program really works.”

“Amazing results! I won't bore you with the awesome improvements along my journey, just my starting and 9 month (September 2024) numbers. I think the most exciting news is the drop in my Total Cholesterol from 273 to 172! Whaaat? I almost cried! Next up, Triglycerides dropped from 191 to 108, LDL 170 to 94, and my Chol/HDL Ratio went from 4.20 to 2.96! Also, super exciting was a drop in my A1c from 6.2% to 5.7%! I have been in the pre-diabetic zone after about 10 years but feel confident based on my daily reading that I will be in the “normal” zone when I have my numbers tested again next month. This is quite the feat considering most women in my family are full blown Type 2 Diabetics by the age of 40... I am over 60. I ate pretty well before starting Step One Foods, so I really didn't think I'd see a huge improvement. I had also worked with a dietician for several months about two years ago and my numbers actually got worse instead of better. Argh! It has been very easy to swap out my steel cut oats in the morning for the SOF Oatmeal or my favorite, the Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes (both of which I add fresh blueberries and walnuts to). A couple of other dramatic improvements were my Insulin Resistance Dropping from 71 to 31 (s/b under 45) and my Small LDL-P dropping from 679 to <90 (s/b <527) and my LDL-P dropping from over 1,700 to 1,017, I need to get that under 1,000. Once again, I'd like to thank Dr. Klodas and her amazing team for their dedication to helping us get and stay healthy through tasty foods in lieu of statins. Cheers! Angie”

“Just going to say a few things about Step One Foods. First, it has to taste good for me to eat it, and it has to be convenient. Both of which, they are. My favorite, the Sprinkles, Oatmeal, Pancakes and Peanut Butter. I did the products for a little over a month and reduced my fats, carbohydrates and sugar intake. I also got up and started walking daily or do some form of exercise. The results were pretty unbelievable, but I am not lying. Step One made a believer out of me. My cholesterol went down 38 points, my Triglycerides went down a whooping 100 points. I will continue use these products, because let’s face it, it’s easy and they taste good. I like to add a little cinnamon and vanilla to the pancake mix, and I use the Sorinkles in cottage cheese with blueberries and strawberries. I factor the cost in as a breakfast and lunch/ snack depending on how I do the Sprinkles and Peanut Butter. I’m grateful because Statins make me feel wonky, and now with this improvement and my commitment to my health plan, I can live to see a better life for myself. I’m glad, I saw that FB add, and ordered these products. Best of luck to all who take control of their health. Give these products a chance. You might see a reduction in your cholesterol as well. Cynthia”

“I am 43 years old and suffer from familial high cholesterol. I do everything right and even being on the highest amount of statin, my numbers wouldn't budge! I felt so hopeless. After trying Step One foods for 6 weeks my total cholesterol came down 84 points (from 246 to 162) and my LDL came down 76 points (from 138 to 62)! I cannot be happier and the food is grrat and fit so well into my lifestyle. Thank you!”

“Just finished my first month of Step One foods and had my blood work done this morning. Very excited to share that after only one month my total cholesterol has gone from 228 to 186.50!”

“This is the first time I've tried a health program that actually worked, the first time, and lived up to the hype! I am just so happy that I found and tried this! In 30 days, my total cholesterol went from 260 to 219....down 41 points! My LDL went from 163 to 125....down 38 points! My doctor had wanted to get me started on statins, but I asked instead for my labs to be redrawn after my initial 30 days on the Step One Foods program. I am beyond thrilled with the drop in my cholesterol! I plan to continue on the foods not because I have to, but because I enjoy them. They all taste great and are convenient. My husband likes the snack bars too, so I've been putting them in his lunchbox. He doesn't have cholesterol issues, but I figure it's a healthy snack for him too. Thanks again for these awesome healthy food options! Step One Foods will be part of our ongoing transformation in achieving our goal of making healthier lifestyle choices. Thanks to your program, I do not have to go on statins! Thank you so much! I will be telling all my family and friends about my results and Step One Foods! :)”

“This was best result i ever had I followed the step one gameplan religiously My total cholesterol dropped from 206 to 143 My LDL dropped tremendously My triglycerides drop as well My HDL went up from 32 to 39 and watch the hdl very closely close I will be continuing with my step one As i am getting incredible results This the best fix i ever had and it was very simple and easy to follow I did this once with diet and oatbran but these results beat the oatbran diet I would forword congratulations to the doctor and team that fiigure this out as well as the customer service You all did a great job I will be forwarding my results to the cardiologist He is a hard core statin guy I hope to reduce my statin dosage”

“After 6 weeks using Step One Foods my cholesterol dropped from 212 to 172 and my HDl dropped from 117 to 87. I use the sprinkles on my yogurt in the morning and I eat the dark chocolate walnut bar in the evening. The bar is very tasty and I have to make myself only eat one a day. I’m very glad a friend told me about Step One Foods because my doctor wanted me to take Pravastatin and I had read some disturbing side effects from this drug.”

“I was skeptical going into this, but thought it was worth a try and I’m indeed encouraged by the improvement across all my cholesterol levels in a fairly short time — they have dropped to within normal range from slightly elevated levels. I really want to keep statins at bay — at 68, I’ve seen levels creep up // yo yo in recent years despite healthy eating and daily exercise, so was looking for a bit of added help. Plus, I have also lost about 7 pounds —Step One really does reduce my snacking — and I’m now back to my desired weight. I should note that I have also tightened up my diet a bit and watch carefully my intake of added sugar, salt and fats without making life totally miserable. I plan to continue using these products.”

“I finally felt it was time to write. As a healthy, athletic guy in my early 50's, I've spent my life never giving a thought to what I ate or my "internal" health until the Visiting Nurse at work administered a Biometric test a few years back and revealed a cholesterol challenge. At around 230 total chol. and LDL of over 160, I wasn't in immediate danger, but I was certainly flirting with the danger zone of potentially needing to consider taking action. It was a bit of a wake-up call and I came to learn that not only were both of my parents on statins, but a number of my other "older" relatives were as well. Apparently, I was smack dab in the middle of a hereditary condition. Not really a "medicine guy" I looked for an alternative and when "Cholesterol Support" (all natural) vitamins didn't move the needle, I wasn't sure what my next step was. On the next visit, the Nurse mentioned Step One, a food program she had just heard about. I jumped on it. Though I didn't get another Biometric test to monitor the 30-day results they tout, I did get one 8 months later: Total down to 201 and LDL down to 129. A drop of over 30 points for each. Very exciting, but could it sustain? A year later, Total is down even more to 189 and LDL steady at 128. It works. Two servings a day is not only an easy habit now, but it prevents me from filling those gaps with junk at the same time. And I've learned a ton from following Dr. Klodas's blogs so am changing other habits as well. I'm a believer!”

“My mouth dropped open when I received my lab results. The improvement in my overall cholesterol was fabulous. I really enjoy the products!”

“I've struggled with elevated cholesterol most of my adult life. I'm 61 now, and have been able to keep it low enough that I haven't required statins but it's been a close call a few times. I really do not want to take statins. My Mom has been on statins for a long time to keep her cholesterol under control, but there are negative affects from statins long term that I don't want to deal with. The lowest I could ever get my total cholesterol previously was 208 by diet, but my LDL has been a real struggle and I had never been able to get it below 130. After my labs last June showed elevation again, I started researching what other options could be out there to try so I could stay away from meds. That's when I found Step One Foods. I was hesitant at first, but decided to give it a one month trial to see what would happen. I was greatly surprised!!! After one month, my total cholesterol went from 249 to 200 and my LDL went from 145 to 108. My HDL and Triglycerides were both within normal limits both times. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes. My 2nd set of labs since being on SOF are scheduled for the end of this month, and I can't wait to see how they look after being on this product for over 5 months. Thank you SOF!!!”

“I ordered the 30 Day Starter Pack at the recommendation of a trusted medical professional. For years I had struggled with high cholesterol. Low dose of Statins weren’t working. Right after Christmas I started Step One Foods. 5 weeks later when my blood work came back I had to do a double take. Total Cholesterol: 315 to181 HDL: 51 to52 LDL: 199 to 104 Triglycerides: 385 to145 I will be continuing with Step One Foods! And a bonus I have lost 10 lbs. Plus the foods I have tried are all delicious. I am so grateful to have found something that is good for my body and is working!”

“I have been struggling with high cholesterol for the past seven years. After my last physical, my total cholesterol was 241 and my LDL was 149. At that point I decided I needed to do something about my cholesterol. I found Step One Foods and after some research, I decided to place an order. After six months, my total cholesterol is now 211 and LDL is 125. I have also lost over 10 pounds. I feel better and have more energy. Incorporating two Step One foods into my daily meal/snack was an easy transition for me. I also enjoyed Dr. Klodas’ blogs, which have helped me make better choices in my diet. I am continuing with Step One Foods and look forward to lower numbers and a healthier me.”

“Hi Step One. Well I’m pretty stoked. After 3 months of using your products and adding some resistance training to my normal running and cycling, I’ve dropped my LDL and total cholesterol score by 40 points!!!!!! For the first time ever, well, in the last 10 years I have been measuring, my cholesterol score is in the green. I even got a note back from my doc saying ‘keep up the great work - you don’t need statin’. My total score had always been around 220-240 and for the first time I’m sub 200. Awesome. I really like the crumble and the chocolate crunch bar. My two faves. Thanks again.”

“I am 54 and post menopausal. Menopause has sent my already high cholesterol even higher. I am not in bad health and moderately active. I have tried every supplements out there over the years to try and lower my cholesterol with no results. I was skeptical about Step One Foods, but after reading the reviews and seeing the money back guarantee, I thought, let’s try it. I can do anything for 30 days. The food was very tasty and easy to implement into my daily routine and after two months, I am ecstatic to share my results. My total cholesterol started at 278 in September 2024 and is now at 235. My triglycerides were 234 and have dropped to 119!! My LDL cholesterol went from 187 to 160. All of the test numbers are trending in the right direction. I am excited to see with continued use, how much better it will be. My cardiologist really tried to scare me into statins two years ago, and I declined, determined to find something natural. I will be sharing these numbers with him and the protocol that I’ve used. I did not make any other major changes other than adding the foods 2 x per day. I did up my walking a bit. I am so grateful for Dr Klodas and her Step One Foods. My only suggestion would be I wish they had a sample pack of all of the items so that we could try all of the different foods.”

“I was skeptical that Step One Foods would actually work since I have tried other products that claimed to reduce LDLs. All I can say is WOW! After only 30 days my LDLs (bad cholesterol) are down 61 points! And my HDLs (good Cholesterol) are up! Thank you Dr Klodas!”

“I began using the Step One program on October 24th. I had my annual check up earlier in the month with the results making me a candidate for cardiovascular disease. After using your products for 42 days, I had my cholesterol rechecked and I was blown away with my new results. My LDL-P went from 1788 to 869, triglycerides from 117 to 94, HDL remained at 55, total went from 215 to 145. I am a true believer and I will continue to use this program.”

“I used Step One Foods for 30 days and I’m amazed at the results! My labs prior to this regimen were Chol 233, Trig 82, HDL 107 & LDL 110. Now it’s Chol 200, Trig 60, HDL 114 & LDL 74. My favorite products are the smoothie mix & the anytime sprinkle. I will continue using these products because it tastes good, it’s heart healthy & it works!”

“My cholesterol has been high for a few years now. I did not want to be on medication so I researched natural ways. I came across Step One foods and decided to try it. I have been eating the bars for about 5 months. I had my blood taken this week and my cholesterol went down from 298 to 267. My LDL went from 201 to 172. I will continue to use this product! It really works!!”

“My doctor recommended statins to get my LDL under control. I refused and started eating StepOne foods. My LDL was 172. After steadily declining over the last three years, it is down to 112. I am amazed and thrilled! No statins for me. My brother is trying it now. That you StepOne for delivering what you promised.”

“My total cholesterol went from 258 to 186 and LDL from 174 to 121 within 6 months. Doctor couldn't believe the results. I use two servings a day and the new nut butter is by far the best product although smoothie mix and chocolate bar are also good.”

“I have been using and enjoying the step one product for under a month. I just got my blood work done and I went from total cholesterol 228 to 189. Made improvements in every cholesterol test! I'm super happy, the bars really help me get the right fat/nuts and fiber I need. I'm all in, if you're not sure it's well worth a try.”

“My Primary Care Manager has been pushing the idea of statins for a couple of years now. I do not want to take them for several reasons, including that after they were prescribed to my mother, she developed kidney disease and it is a known, possible side effect. Finally, she started me on psyllium husk well over a year ago. I was not seeing appreciable movement in my LDL or total cholesterol (4 and 3 points respectively). I started Step One in early May. I requested a lipid profile after I had been on it for one month as suggested. My total cholesterol had dropped by 20 points and my LDL had fallen by 10. I waited another 3 months and requested another lipid profile. This time (early October) my total cholesterol is down another 21 points, and my LDL is down another 17. In 5 months, I have seen a 40-point decrease in my total cholesterol and 27 points in my LDL. The note from my PCM on the last lab results said that they are still high, but she also acknowledged that they are moving in the right direction. She didn't mention the statins this time.”

“After 9 months of using Step One Foods, I lowered my cholesterol and LDL by 50 points and no medication needed! The food tastes great and it really works. It's also a great way of staying "on track" while on vacation when it's more challenging to find health options to eat. Thanks so much!”

“I, like many, have tried statins, ugh, no go, so painful. I read and read about Step One and finally decided I have nothing to lose. Well, I did... 50 points on my total cholesterol. Just finished my first 30 days with 2 servings a day. Some days I didn't get those two servings in, but I did eat better and just wasn't craving the carbs and sweets. I'm sold and I'm sharing the good news. My numbers weren't always high, but getting older it's hard to do all the right things all the time. Now on to maintenance.”

“I have been eating 1 serving a day of Step one Foods for 6 months and I am happy to say my cholesterol has dropped from 298 to 266 that’s 32 points! I have high cholesterol normally and will not go on Meds. I do take supplements too!”

“Amazing results! This is my third check in. I won't bore you with the numbers along my journey, just my starting and current (8 months in) numbers. I think the most exciting news is the drop in my Triglycerides from 191 to 94! Whaaat? I about fell off my chair. :) Next up, Total Cholesterol dropped from 273 to 207, LDL 170 to 122, HDL up a tad from 65 to 66 and my Chol/HDL Ratio went from 4.20 to 3.14! Also, super exciting was a drop in my A1c from 6.2% to 5.7%! I am so close to finally being out of the pre-diabetic zone after about 10 years. This is quite the feat considering most women in my family are full blown Type 2 Diabetics by the age of 40... I am 61. I ate pretty well before starting Step One Foods, so I really didn't think I'd see a huge improvement. I had also worked with a dietician for several months about two years ago and my numbers actually got worse instead of better. Argh! It has been very easy to swap out my steel cut oats in the morning for the SOF Oatmeal or my favorite, the Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes (both of which I add fresh blueberries and walnuts to). I also gave up protein bars in the afternoon and replaced them with SOF snack bars. So yummy! Additional changes have been cutting back on my beloved ribeyes and adding in salmon 2-3 days a week. I've always been pretty active, we live in the mountains and hike a lot, but I've recently become addicted to Pickleball and play whenever I can (still working full-time) which I'm sure has also had a hand in the improved numbers. Did I mention that I've dropped 7 lbs? Bonus! That's all for now! But, I'm excited to see how things will look at the one year point! Once again, I'd like to thank Dr. Klodas and her amazing team for their dedication to helping us get and stay healthy through tasty foods in lieu of statins. Cheers! Angie”

“I originally saw an advertisement for Step One Foods on Instagram. My first thoughts were very skeptical. I don't have a very high opinion of ads on social media. However, I kept seeing the ads and kept thinking about it. When I read that the foods were developed by a cardiologist for people who cannot tolerate statins (ME) and saw there was a study by the Mayo Clinic, I sent a link to a personal friend who is a cardiologist. He read everything and told me that the Mayo Clinic was very reputable. He knows I have had devastating results from taking a statin for only 30 days and suggested I try it. I did and after the initial 30 days I had a lipid panel taken I was blown away by the results. My overall cholesterol dropped from 186 to 168. My LDL, which had been stuck at 114 for over a year after five years of an Ornish Vegan lifestyle. dropped to 99 - the fist time ever that my LDL was under 100!!!!! I immediately signed up for the 30-day auto shipments and look forward to even better results. I am a true believer in Step One Foods.”

“I started Step One in February of 2024. I also stopped drinking alcohol. My total cholesterol was 365 in December of 2023. Just had it tested August 14th. My total cholesterol came down to 257. Huge benefits all the way around concerning my health. Love Step One. Goes with me everyday, everywhere!! Thank you”

“After taking myself off of Crestor b/c my A1C was creeping up, my cholesterol went from 175 to 283 in 9 months. I had read about Step One Foods and immediately began to use it, restarted my Crestor, increased my cardio workouts, increased the fish in my diet to at least twice a week, and began drinking Joey, an adaptigen mushroom coffee substitute every morning. I am thrilled to report that my cholesterol is now 156, after just 6 weeks. My hope is to decrease my dosage of the Crestor at my next appointment. I am positive that the Statin could not have lowered my cholesterol that much all by itself. Thank you Step One Foods for an easy food source for patients to use to help decrease heart disease and stroke risks. Sincerely, Carla S., Retired RN”

“Total cholesterol from 248 to 215 in less than 30 days!”

“I have a reaction to cholesterol meds. I have found that two servings a day of Step One Foods and my cholesterol, LDL in particular, dropped 40 points. And it has remained down as long as I am consistent. I highly recommend this regime.”

“I was shocked to see my LDL go from 153 to 116 in two months. I was consistent each day eating the products and also cleaned up my diet a bit though I was already a pretty healthy eater. Great results - thanks!”

“I have been using these products for about 6 months. I usually eat a bar, sprinkles in my cereal or the shake mix once a day, occasionally twice. My overall cholesterol is down from 235 to 200 and LDL from 135 to 103. I have already been a vegetarian for almost 30 years and rarely have dairy. Thank you!”

“Very pleased with the products particularly after my lower cholesterol reading at my last physical. I was so pleased I have added a scheduled bundle so my husband (who suddenly needs to watch his cholesterol as well) has begun using the products. We had a little issue with our last order and the staff really jumped through hoops to get it corrected... Love the sprinkles in oatmeal and mixed with non-fat Greek yogurt...the bars are tasty and come in handy with our busy schedules...”

“THIS SAYS IT ALL! Cholesterol LDL 9/7/23 started using Step One Foods 205 107 1/2024 Started Mediterranean Diet +Step One 179 104 4/2024 using both diet and Step One Foods 170 93 7/2024 still using both diet and Step One 162 80”

“Started eating 2 Step One Foods products a day on June 23rd 2024. My total cholesterol was 264 and my LDL was 162. Had labs done on July 22nd 2024 and my total cholesterol was 198 and my LDL was 107. One day short of a month using this product!! I am over the moon happy with the results!! Am going to continue using it twice a day and see what my labs are like at my next annual physical. Love, love, love Step One Foods!”

“I started Step One Foods 28 days before my annual physical. Every time I went to the VA for my physical, my cholesterol kept going up and they wanted to put me on statins, although I refused. So I ate super healthy for the last 3 months before my appointment. I was thrilled with my results!! At my physical in 2023 my cholesterol was 226 this year it was 196, I lost 30 points!! I can't tell you how thrilled I was to hear my results!! As it turned out, ALL my labs were perfect!! This being something I had never heard before in a Dr's visit!! So, this has started a remake of my eating habits and a new lifestyle for me! I eat the Step One blueberry oatmeal for breakfast, (I add a little more dried fruit), then I have a shake with organic fruit and Step One Sprinkles. Then for dinner, veggies and lots of veggies with a small portion of chicken, no skin or salmon, or other seafood. I feel so much better!! My body is happier with the Step One Foods!! Oh, also...I bought a couple of things I wasn't thrilled with, and just while texting to a Step One representative, she issued a credit for BOTH boxes to be applied to my next purchase!! I asked her if I should return the unopened food and she asked me to donate it, as they can't take it back. Absolutely no issues, the easiest return I've ever made!! Their customer support is by far the BEST in the industry. Don't wait another day, buy the food and give it a try, bad health is all you have to loose!!”

“I prefer Anytime Sprinkle, Oatmeal and the dark chocolate crunch Bars. These are filling and actually help curb hunger bec of all the nutrients in them. My overall cholesterol went down 57 points after just a couple of months eating these foods. I do exercise daily and eat only "good" fats (avocado, olive oil, salmon) but I have experienced a real difference in lowering my LDL and avoiding pharma "solutions." Great product.”

“My total cholesterol has dropped from 265 to 207 in four months. My doctor said, 'Whatever you're doing, keep doing it!" I told him about Step One foods and he wrote it down -- he wants his own father to start using these products! I had a lemon almond bar in my purse for him to give his dad - those are my favorite. Step One REALLy works - I have the bloodwork graphs to prove it. I eat pretty healthy and did not alter my diet other than adding Step One products. Amazing!”

“Started in January my LDL was 120 total cholesterol 204 --- In July LDL 92 total cholesterol 169 --- Did have an avocado with the STEP ONE Bars also!”

“My Doctor wanted me on statins I said I'll do some things on my own I tried Step One Foods and it works. I eat a bar in the morning and one in the afternoon. Cholesterol 213 now 177 Risk Ratio 5.7 to 2.5”

“WOW! I have been a customer for a couple of years, but for the most part eating just one serving of Step One per day, and then not every day until this year. After my annual check up this year, my doctor indicated that my cholesterol had gone down some, and I told him what I was doing. He had heard of Step One, and said it must be doing something. So, I asked him if he was willing to repeat the blood panel if I added a second serving per day. He agreed, and I started to attempt to do two servings per day (although I don't always get them both in). After 60 days my blood panel was repeated. I just got the results today, and I had nearly a 40 point drop!!! Needless to say, I am so happy with these results, and I haven't been doing my normal exercise routine, or my careful eating, due to a lot of family and friend activities recently. It's an extra cost to me to do these two servings per day, but what a bargain in light of the fact that it's really working!!”

“When I started Step One foods a few months ago, I was taking 40 mg. of Atorvastatin daily. Saw the Cardiologist last week, and my cholesterol levels were much improved. He changed the dose down to 10mg. daily. That is a win, win, for me, less statins, equals much less muscle ache/pain.”

“I've been using your product since March 16, 2024. In March my HDL was 54, LDL 217. Just got tested today: HDL 52, LDL 117. WOW! Thanks! I was not expecting a drop like that. The products taste great too! But a 46% drop in LDL (the bad stuff), all the way to the "desirable" level.”

“STEPONE foods work!! I started using them earlier this year, and four months later, my LDL was down 34 points, along with weight loss of 12 lbs. I love how tasty these foods are, I plan on continuing to use them and look forward to continued results at my next appt this fall.”

“I am amazed at how this product has lowered my cholesterol. I eat two bars a day; the first bar in the morning with my coffee as a meal replacement and the other as a snack in late afternoon. My cholestrol has gone from 212 to 164. I'm very pleased with this product and the bars are delicious.”

“My annual physical was this last Wednesday. Four months ago my LDL, HDL and triglyceride numbers indicated an early (according to me) death at about 85 from heart related disease. That risk is now greatly reduced. My LDL and HDL numbers improved by 32 points. I am thrilled with the improvement. I will continue to follow careful eating, exercise, follow doctor's instructions and take Step One Foods. Life is sweet.”

“Last summer I was discussing my blood work with my physcian and I asked what my cholesteral levels were and told her "I've been trying something". She said my numbers dropped 41 points and my LDL was the lowest she'd ever seen it and then she demanded to know what I had been "trying". I explained about Step One Foods and she wrote it down!. I generally stick to the two snack bars aday. No drastic changes to the rest of my diet, but trying to increase the fruits and veggies. I've also recommended to several friends. One said her numbers dropped and she's hoping to get off the statins.”

“my annual check up, I am 75 and ALL of my numbers in every category are NORMAL. Last year my LDL was 172 and Trig Lvl was 159. today 5-13-2024 my numbers were LDL calc was 131 and my trig Lvl was 142. So if you are looking for results, this is the place to be. Thank you for making my live a lot more healthy than it was a year ago.”

“My husband cholesterol numbers improved unbelievably with his lab test a few weeks ago. We are astonished after all these years!”

“My cholesterol has been high (200+) ever since I went into menopause. My doctor has wanted me on statins, but I keep saying ‘no’. Then I saw your ad on Facebook, and decided to try it. On 10/21/23, my total cholesterol was 287: ldl:211, trig:132, hdl:52. On 3/5/24, my total cholesterol was 201: ldl:136, trig:97, hdl:42. My doctor was in shock! She kept saying, “Amazing! Amazing!” I brought her the package of the oatmeal. She checked your website while I was in the examing room with her. She was going to tell some of her patients about your products! 😁 Thank you for your products!”

“This is my second update on my results. I've been enjoying Step One Foods for 4 months and adding salmon once or twice a week to my diet. I am SUPER excited to share my improved numbers! Total cholesterol: 12/30/2023 = 273, 02/10/2024 = 217, 05/01/2024 = 195 ---> NORMAL....Woot woot! :) Triglycerides: 12/30/2023 = 191, 02/10/2024 = 131, 05/01/2024 = 132. LDL: 12/30/2023 = 170, 2/10/2024 = 143, 05/01/2024 = 119. A1c: 12/30/2023 = 6.2%, 02/10/2024 = 6.0%, 05/01/2024 = 5.9 % ---> No idea the last time it’s been under 6%! LDL Particle Size and Number still need work, but they have decreased 9% and 7.5% respectively. For some reason my LP-IR Score jumped up between February and May (I’d never had it done before then), so I’ll have to figure out how to lower that. Anyway, I’m super excited to see such amazing progress since my original dietary changes without the Step One Foods didn’t make a dent in any of these numbers. (I do not, and have not ever, taken statins.) Thank you SO much Dr. Klodas and Team... I am beyond grateful for your products!”

“I am pleased that the yummy (and healthful) StepOne snacks resulted in my total cholesterol numbers to drop 25 points. I fully intend to continue enjoying StepOne snack bars so I can hopefully drop it another 25 :)”

“I used several products over a 3 month time period. Because I chose to use 1/2 the dose daily, I added the products to a rich cholesterol reducing diet. So, I cannot truthfully attribute my changes to one factor vs. the other. I saw a marked reduction from 214 to 198 total cholesterol. HDL went up to 80, LDL from 120 to 103, and Tri-glycerides from8 81 to 72. Total Cholesterol to HDL is now 2.5. Cost is a strong consideration, So, the Anytime Sprinkles are the most economic purchase if you are budget strapped.”

“Hi there, I wanted you to know that I just got my results back from my blood work. My cholesterol dropped 58 points from 261 to 203. I am still at the beginning of my journey, but as a 48-year-old patient with a family history of heart disease, I wanted to shift the paradigm, change what I see daily when it comes to my relationship with food and see how I change. I’m quite pleased with my results, thus far. I realize I need to incorporate more movement and a daily workout, but I wanted to start with the foods that I consume and then see what happens. I am also pre-diabetic. My A1c dropped from 6.1 to 5.9 and I am hopeful that it will continue to improve as I learn how foods affect my body. My triglycerides dropped 65 points, from 246 to 181. HDL went up two points to 45. Just a few more and I will be back in normal range. As for my LDL, it went down 47 points, from 169 to 122. Not too bad for for a Step One newbie. I was concerned that the pancakes would make my blood sugar spike. I am doing this with my spouse, who got a diagnosis of diabetes and lost 40+ pounds with daily exercise, intermittent fasting and cutting carbs. While I have not cut carbs out of my diet, I am still quite pleased at my results to date. Thank you!”

“I was skeptical at first, but after using 4 boxed My moms cholesterol was significantly lowered. Her levels went from 300 to 238 which is fantastic because she can't tolerate medication what so ever. She loves the sprinkles because she puts it over her yogurt. She loved the blueberry cereal as well. No side effects which is great for her. I highly recommend for anyone who has high cholesterol and find the modern medicine to cause problems. I started taking as well.”

“I have been very pleased with Step One Foods products. They really delivered great results for my total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. In January 2023, my total cholesterol was at 265 and my LDL at 175. After implementing life style changes and adding two portions of Step One Foods a day, my results this month (Mar-2024) were significant. My total cholesterol is now at 174 and my LDL at 102. In addition, my already low triglycerides were even lower, and my HDL was kept in an already good range. Thank you for offering such a great option for those who want to change their life style while incorporating nutrients proven to balance their lipid profile.”

“I am delighted with the Step One Plan! I started the plan June of 2023 and just had my annual physical March 25, 2024. My LDL dropped from 172 to 113 and my total Cholesterol from 253 to 201. My HDL also went from from 62 to 71. No statins for me! My Physician is so pleased... I gave her a sample to try. My Blood pressure is also back down to 110/70. The Step One Plan really works. My spouse will also be trying the plan. Thanks Dr. Klodas. Mary P.”

“I've started Step One last year and was doing fine, my 2 month order came in first of November and I guess it was the holidays but I stopped eating the products, in January had a blood test, my inherited cholesterol shot up to 368 along with the LDL 265 My cardiologist said he would give me till April to get it under control or he's going to start me on the shot Repatha, so I started back on Step One Foods only this time out of desperation I decided to do 3 per day, I already do plant based and 2 meals a day, this time I added more fish and Sardines. I decided to do a blood test on my own just to see if 3 a day was working. I am totally surprised, my total cholesterol went from 368 down to 231 and my LDL went from 265 to 143 my HDL went from 74 to 62 but that's OK because it's still high, I'm so excited and I'm not on any statins and I don't want the Repatha shot, I can't wait to show my cardiologist my results next month, in April, and he will be giving me another blood test so hopefully it will be even lower, so I have decided to make this a life style change 💕💕💕”

“I have been using this product for awhile...my last blood test showed my cholesterol was normal. It had been high for a year and a half. I have found with the bars that if I break them up over yogurt it tastes better. Love it! Two family members are going to try!”

“I have higher than normal cholesterol but nothing my doctor worried about because there is no heart disease or stroke in my family. My HDL has always been over 100. My LDL was over 100 as well, but it went up to 175 last year and my new doctor immediately suggested I go on Statins. I said no thanks - let me work on this naturally. That's when I found Step One Foods and gave them a try. Started using them last October and just had my lipid panel tested. The results were awesome. In February 2023, HDL - 126 mg/dl, LDL - 175 mg/dl, total - 312 mg/dl. Now in March 2024, HDL - 113 mg/dl, LDL - 126 mg/dl, total - 266 mg/dl. Step One Foods really work and they taste great. Thank you!”

“Cholesterol dropped from 238 to 199 in my first month.”

“I have always been on the high side of normal for cholesterol numbers. I had a blood draw at the end of January and my numbers had gone up. I now had Hogh Cholesterol. My husband has always had really high cholesterol but can't take Statins. A friend recommended Step One Foods. She has MS and her doctor suggested she try it. She was in the middle of her first month. She gave me her opinion of each product and suggestions on how to mix extra fruit and nuts in the oatmeal and smoothie. I love dark chocolate and peanut butter. I have a hard time convincing myself these are healthy bars because they are so tasty. I had a smoothie for breakfast and my husband had the oatmeal. We each had a bar of choice for lunch. 6 weeks in and I had another blood draw. My total cholesterol is down 31 points. MY LDL is down 29 points. I am back in the normal range. And I lost a few pounds. My husband also saw a drop in his numbers. Not as dramic as mine though. My friend also saw a decrease. It seems like the lower your numbers the more significant the drop is. But with high numbers, you will see progress over a longer period. We are very happy with the beginning results. We will continue to use the products as they are really good and we see the improvement. These are my go to snack now. Some days, I wish I waited longer to enjoy the second bar. They are that good. I highly recommend this easy solution to a challenging issue.”

“I am 53 with familial high cholesterol. In December, my total cholesterol was 301 and my doctor wanted to out me on statins. I said please give me 6 months to see if I can bring it down with diet and exercise. I found step one foods online and I tried it and I love it! I had my blood test again 35 days later and my total cholesterol is down to 234! My bad LDL’s dropped 56 pts as well. This method really works! I’m telling everyone!!thank you so much for this amazing product!”

“My doctor wanted to put me on statins. I asked to try this diet first. I used the Oatmeal and the chocolate walnut bar for 2 months. I also evaluated my diet and decided my added sugar level was too high. Nearly everyday, I limited my sugars to 10 or under. Occasionally, I want a hot chocolate or there is a birthday with cake. My fasting LDL went from 102 to 83 in 2 months. My triglycerides went from 177 to 123 and my VDL dropped to 25 from 35. My HLD is steady with a 1 point drop. My doctor is pleased. My next appointment is in 6 months.”

“I started the Step One program several months ago because my Cardiologist wanted to put me on statins and I really did not want to go that route unless absolutely necessary. I told him I wanted to try Step One foods first and if my cholesterol did not change then I will need the statins. I just got my bloodwork done and my total cholesterol went from 216 down to 165! THAT IS 51 POINTS AND I WAS THRILLED! Needless to say, I WILL NOT be taking statins if my cholesterol continues to improve.”

“Just got my blood work results and my "Cholesterol" dropped from 221 to 204, HDL Chol dropped from 66 to 60, LDL Calc dropped from 139 to 124 and non HDL Cholesterol dropped from 155 to 144. I have to confess, I didn't always have 2 bars a day, or I can imagine how much better it will be when I do. Love your bars! They are so tasty and healthy! Thank you!”

“I've been using Step One products for the last 5 weeks as well as eating a plant based diet and fish. My results are amazing. My total cholesterol is now 198 downfrom 234. My LDL is 77 down from 132. My HDL went down from 62 to 53. But. After reading the help articles on the website, I have a plan to increase the HDL.”

“All I can say is I was skeptical but I knew the ingredients in StepOne foods were healthy so I figured I had nothing to lose. I have been eating 2 products per day for 30 days and am happy to report my LDL has gone down by 11, hoping it will go down more. My current blood test put me in the normal range for each lipid test with the exception of my lp(a) which doesn’t change much no matter what due to genetics. I will continue StepOne foods, and I am so grateful for this option over medication. Thank you!”

“I’m 63, moderately overweight with high cholesterol. I have been trying to eat healthy for years with minimal success. I’m on a statin, the lowest dose because my body doesn’t like the side effects. I’ve been to dietitians, I’ve tried every diet known to woman. I was always hungry. Step One is my last hope. I’ve been using the products for a few days, I have bloodwork this upcoming week. I know I haven’t been eating the foods long enough to make a difference in my bloodwork but I can tell it’s making a difference! I love the sprinkles on my yogurt. I finally found something to curb my appetite!! I’m getting used to the bars (texture), being delicious makes the difference! Trying the oatmeal is next. I am so happy I took the chance and placed my first order!”

“I hadn't had my blood work checked for about 5 years. I was dismayed to find out that my cholesterol was high and did not want to take pills. I saw Step One foods advertised on the internet so figured I'd give it a try. I've been using the foods faithfully for a little over a month and just got my second test results back. Wow! My total cholesterol went from 266 to 212 and my LDL from 173 to 122 and my triglycerides down from 139 to 77! I still have to get the numbers down a bit but I am SO encouraged!!”

“I was skeptical about this product. I’m a retired nurse who worked in research but thought I’d at least try. In Nov, my total cholesterol was 333 ( now 154); fatty liver SGOT 50 ( now 26); SGPT 56 ( now 21). I did eat the products and take a statin. My dr is thrilled. So am I. I will reorder. Love the oatmeal and bars. An easy way to be healthy”

“I am a 64 yo woman who has struggled with high cholesterol for years. At my last cardiologist appointment in March of 2023 I was prescribed Statins. I decided to forego medication and concentrate on diet and lifestyle changes. I’m happy to report that my cholesterol has improved!! I’ve been watching my diet, and using the step one foods for a little over a month now. I’m so excited to report my LDL has gone down by 17%!!! I would still like to get my total below 200, my LDL below 100, and my non-HDL below 130… But I’m headed in the right direction! I was shocked at how much my triglyceride level went down. Over 100 points! Thank you Step One! ❤️❤️❤️”

“I have been using Step One Foods as a substitute for protein bars or other high carb snacks since Feb 2023. I was diagnosed as just barely in the diabetic range with a fatty liver and high triglycerides in January 2023. I was thrilled that my A!C went down from 7.1% to 5.9%! My SGOT went from 59 to 18 U/ml. My triglyceride level went from 408 to 233 mg/dl! My cholesterol and LDL were not as dramatic but both decreased closer to normal. Also my HDL increased from 33 to 37 which is the highest it has ever been even when I was younger and exercised more. My urine microalbumin decreased from 88.2 to 30.0 mg/dl. I was impressed and will continue to decrease carbs and use Step One foods! You can change your health even at 71.”

“Bad news / good news - The bad news is that I still have high cholesterol, the good news is that it has dropped a lot since I started on the Step One cholesterol foods. My total cholesterol last time was 293, now it’s 229 a drop of 64 points. My LDL was 211, now it’s 145, a drop of 66 points. I am 30 points away from being within the “normal” range for cholesterol. The last time I was “normal” was in 2014 when I was on statins. I had to stop all statins after multiple serious reactions. I can't believe I finally found something that works!”

“I am in my early 60s, live in the mountains, and am pretty active...more so in the summer than when we're buried under several feet of snow in the winter. I generally eat pretty well, the whole slow cook steel cut oats with chia seeds, flax seeds, etc. most mornings, switched from dairy to oat milk, blueberries every day, lots of vegetables, etc. I do however, love a good Ribeye. Anyway, since I already eat well the majority of the time, I was skeptical that Step One Foods would work for me. However, after exactly 6 weeks between blood draws and 6 weeks on the product I've had a huge drop in my overall Cholesterol, LDL, and Triglycerides! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 *Overall Cholesterol dropped from 273 to 217! *LDL dropped from 170 to 143. *Triglycerides dropped from 191 to 131! My HDL was already good. It should be over 39. It was 65, now it's 51. 65 is a little better, but it's still over 39, so all good! Also, my A1c dropped from 6.2% to 6.0%. That's the lowest it's been in over 4 years. (Highest ever was 6.3%.) As an added bonus, I have lost 5 of the 10 pounds that I wanted to lose! Woot woot! My doctor had never heard of these products, but did a little research and said if they don't taste too bad, give them a try! She was definitely pleased with the results and we will recheck my levels in another 3 months. (I am not on statins, never have been, and have no desire to take them.) Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Klodas and Step One Foods! I'm sold on your yummy and effective products! Kindest regards, Angie”

“I was skeptical that simply eating a food product twice daily would solve my high cholesterol problem; however, I was pleasantly surprised. I did change my diet to plant-based products and cut out all animal products in addition to consuming two Step One snacks a day, so I’m not sure what exactly did it, but the combination of the two yielded astounding results in only 30 days. I haven’t even added exercise to my regimen yet. Total Cholesterol 275 -> 209 (decreased by 66 points!!!) LDL 165 -> 118 (reduced by 47 points!!!) HDL 92 ->73 Triglycerides 79 ->83 I’m assuming that my HDL and Triglyceride numbers will improve with exercise. I’ll start that this month, my second using Step One, and see how it goes.”

“I started eating the Step One a few months ago. My total cholesterol was 213 and when I had bloodwork done about 3 months later, my total cholesterol had decreased to 171! I was skeptical about trying this product at first until I saw real results from it! I highly recommend it!”

“I had a small problem with shipment, within 2 minutes from sending in the contact form my missing product was on it's way. I rarely write reviews , but this excellent customer service could not go unrecognized.”

“One year ago, my doctor told me I needed to go on statins. I have read so much negative information that I did not want to. I started researching how to lower cholesterol naturally and radically changed my diet - eliminating baked goods and most carbs and trying to add in more nuts and fish. In July, I had another cholesterol test and it went from 232 to 240 - up with all of that effort! I was so disappointed! After that test, I discovered Step One Foods and began including them in my daily diet. Last week, I had another test and my cholesterol had decreased from 240 to 194 - within normal range. I was so excited! I plan on sticking with Step One Foods and highly recommend them. I also will continue to eat much healthier than I used to.”

“I had years of good health but after experiencing post Covid problems ie: high BP, Fatigue, weight gain, depression, high cholesterol etc... all new things to me, I ordered the Steo One food. After one month, my cholesterol was down 0 point, lipids down 300 its I felt a sense of hope> Thank you Dr Klodas! I appreciate your effort on my behalf!”

“I have been using Step One for about a year and IT WORKS! My Total Cholesterol was 249 last year and now it is 199. My LDL was 161 last time and it is 122 now! I love that the product is all natural and real food. Try it will help if you have High Cholesterol! Thank you Step One!”

“I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks. A blood test is scheduled to check results of using Step One foods to reduce cholesterol levels. I can hardly wait to get positive news. The system is easy to use and fits into my schedule.”

“Last fall, my doctor wanted to add a second medication because my LDL was too high. However, he agreed that I could make some dietary changes and re-check in 2 months. I started using Step One Foods faithfully every day (some days I only had one serving) and after 2 months of using these foods, my LDL dropped 30 points! I was shocked as I was prepared for no change. My LDL went from 137 to 107 and my other numbers also improved. As a result, he said there was no need to add a second medication. I really couldn't believe it as I have FH and my cholesterol is so hard to lower through diet!! I am continuing to use these foods and hope my numbers will continue to stay at these good levels!!”

“I started eating two Step One foods on Nov. 20 after results of my blood test on Nov. 2. I had another blood test yesterday - Jan 10 - and am excited about the results. My total cholesterol went from 291 to 215. Triglycerides went from 209 to 120. HDL went from 46 to 42. VLDL went from 40 to 22. LDL went from 205 to 151. I realize that total cholesterol and LDL are still elevated but am thrilled at the drop! Thank you for creating great products for people like me who don't want to take drugs! I will continue to use these products along with a healthy diet and exercise!”

“My cardiologist prescribed me a statin drug a couple months ago. Since I’m already taking multiple blood pressure medications, I was reluctant to add another medication to my daily regiment. After only 3 weeks of using Step One Foods my cholesterol is down from 236 to 190 and my LDL is down from 172 to 123. These results are nothing short of miraculous, in my opinion, considering I’ve been using Step One Foods for less than a month! Highly recommended!”

“I have been using Step One now for several years. My cholesterol was high. By using Step one foods my cholesterol is now 174. In morning I mix strawberry shake with plain yogurt and a banana. I enjoy it. Then at night I have a lemon bar. I'm going for blood work next week. I'll be curious to see if it went down. Thanks Step One for making these products Peggy M.”

“No one could have been more SKEPTICAL that Step One would be of any benefit to me. I have had high cholesterol numbers, and on Statin drugs for decades. Dieted and lost 70 pounds. Little to no substantial improvement in cholesterol numbers. Went on an almost total vegan diet, for over a year. Had a very minor improvement in cholesterol numbers. Familial genetics with high cholesterol numbers are rampart in my family. So,anyway,being EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL, as I was, I ordered the beginners bundle. Well, since late October, 2023, my LDL number dropped 20 points!!! Just re-ordered Step One foods again. Excited to see how much improvement I'll see on my next lab draw in 6 months.. WOW!!!! It actually works!”

“I have been using step one products faithfully for the last 6 months. I had my cholesterol panel done yesterday and I am very pleased with the results. My total cholesterol went from 178 to 150. My HDL was 81 and my LDL went from 75 to 57! My doctor wanted me to double my statin dose and I said I wanted to try your products first.She wanted my LDL below 60 and now it is. I am very happy with my results and I will continue using your products. Thank you very much.”

“Imagine my shock this week when I called my cardiologists office to get my lipid panel lab results and the tech said, "All of your results are within the normal range". I asked her to repeat what she was saying because for the past 12 years my cholesterol was been creeping up into the mid 200s with the last 2 years moving past 265 and my LDL in the 170s. My cardiologist said although I'm healthy, I should seriously consider going on a statin drug. Knowing the side effects and knowing I probably would be on a drug for the rest of my life, I started to search for an alternative. While on Instagram one day I read about Step One, and this past August I started with the shakes and bars. At my Oct physical my cholesterol and LDL both dropped 40 points each and I was shocked. I've continued with the products and that's when I got the news this week that all of my labs including my other bloodwork was ALL normal, including my BUN and creatine levels, that was also shocking. I'm now a walking advertisement for your products. By the way I add milk, ice, a whole banana and a TBS of peanut butter to my shakes and oh my yum!! I'm in this for the long run!”

“My total Cholesterol was 263 , HDL 78 , LDL 143, Triglycerides 41 in July 2022. I saw this product on Facebook and was very skeptical at first. I started eating 2 bars a day in Oct 2022. I had my cholesterol checked again in July 2023. My total came down 37 points to 226, HDL 75, LDL 140, and Triglycerides 40. I continued with 2 bars a day. In Nov.2023 my numbers were down again. Total 196, HDL 65, LDL 123, Triglycerides 40. I love the taste and texture of the bars and will continue to eat them. I tell everyone who has high cholesterol to try them.”

“Started using this product about a month ago. My total cholesterol was 239. Now 209. & my LDL was 130. Now 99 Very happy”

“After finding out that my LDL had jumped 40 points in one year, I tried a statin. It didn't react well with me. I stopped after 10 days. I then started Step One about 6 weeks ago. In addition, I also make a few smaller diet adjustments. Great news - I had blood work done yesterday. My total cholesterol has gone from 318 to 231; triglycerides have gone from 166 to 63; and LDL from 210 to 152 in this short time. There's still work to be done, but this is one happy week for me! :)”

“I was told by my doctor to lower my cholesterol as it has been creeping up the last several years. My last blood test showed my total cholesterol at 201 with LDL at 121. After those results, I happened to see an advertisement for Step One and purchased a starter pack. I honestly didn't think it would really work. I took two servings a day of Step One and really didn't change anything else. I scheduled another blood test to coincide with finishing the starter pack. New test results five weeks after the original tests found my total cholesterol went down from 201 to 174. My LDL went down from 121 to 89. It does work!!”

“I visited with a dietitian following a cholesterol test showing my total at 289 in May 2023. My HCL was low, and LDL was very high. After seven months of using these products, my total cholesterol is down to almost 200. I was not anticipating these results but couldn't be happier. My diet changed too and I no longer consume red meat or pork of any kind.”

“I have had high cholesterol for about two years and my doctor asked me to make some lifestyle changes before putting me on meds. One of those changes I made was trying out StepOne foods for a month. For the first time in 2 years, my cholesterol is at a healthy range. I am thrilled.”

“My doctors have been hounding me to start statins and said I would be unable to lower my cholesterol numbers with lifestyle/food changes. I secretly ordered the 30 day step one food plan….and even though I didn’t get in 2 a day, I lowered my cholesterol by 37 points in a month! Amazing!!! Thank you. It proved to me, I need to improve my food choices and that diet and lifestyle changes work.”

“I was a "borderline high" patient who had one doctor saying "take statins" and one doctor saying "we don't need to treat this yet." I knew what foods I should be eating but I had trouble getting them all in, remembering them all, eating them all. I tried Step One because I knew it wouldn't hurt me - and I was tired of trying to incorporate all the good stuff (think chia seeds) into my cooking. I have the oatmeal for breakfast and the bar for a snack. Just those chnges decreased my total cholesterol from 220 to 190 - and increased my HDL in (good cholesterol) while decreasing my LDL (bad cholesterol.) All in all stellar results- my doctor is happy happy happy. Thanks Step One. Really.”

“About a year ago I started using step one.. in one month. My cholesterol drop from 304 to 290. It has gradually gone down to 230 in a years time. I’m about to go back in about a week to find out if it’s even lower. My doctor was skeptical, however, after it continued to drop, she said,”keep doing what you’re doing.” My goal is to reach 200 or less. I love the product, I also just eat the oatmeal like granola with milk. It’s very versatile! 5 stars for me!”

“My triglycerides went from 454 mg/dl to 242 mg/dl in 12 weeks and my total cholesterol went from 181 to 169. I am overjoyed! I will update again in 3 months to see if the numbers continue to go down.”

“I was skeptical, but desperately did not want to take the Sta tins. After 35 days of 2 StepBars a day, my numbers went down 25 points. Now my new test 5 months later is showing the total of points lowered is 48! So in 6 months I went from 299, down to 251. I am a believer in StepOne bars.”

“I started utlizing your snackbars over the past 4 months. I have seen a reduction in my overall choleseterol from 294 to 223 and my LDL 198 to 139. I travel for my job and your products are great to pack and eat on the road. My favorite snack bars are the apple cinnamon. As a cardiac nurse I highly recommend your products.”

“I wanted to share my news as I’m so excited! 🤩 I just started this plan on 10/03/23 and had my blood work tested on 11/02/23. Exactly 31 days afterwards! I am happy to report my total cholesterol is down 56 points, my triglycerides are down 65 points and my LDL is down by 40 points!!!!! My total cholesterol was 276 in September and now 220!!! My numbers have never been better! I’ve been getting tested since in my 20’s and now I’m in my 50’s. I AM A TRUE BELIEVER IN STEP ONE FOODS and will definitely continue buying this plan going forward! 😊👍 Thank you so much Step One Foods!”

“I am one of many individuals that cannot take statins. A friend of mine told me about your bars so I decided to try them. After only one month, my CholesterolTotal went from 253 to 220. My LDL Chol Calc went from 171 to 142. The snack bars are easy and tasty. I'm hopeful that at the end of 6 months I will have even better results.”

“In July, I was told my cholesterol was in the danger zone. I was shocked and had no idea what that meant or what to do. Since my family has a history of heart disease, I wanted to change those results. I started researching but ended up so confused. With school starting up again, I needed help. I ran across Step One foods. I decided to try it. I can testify that it worked for me. I was not able to recheck my levels after one month. After 4 months of doing step one and changing my diet, I went from 240 back down to a normal safe range. My nurse was amazed. I will definitely stay on this program. I appreciate how easy they have made it for me with their food options. Also, their articles and book have help me to understand what was going on with my body and what all the doctor talk meant. It gave me the confidence I needed to know what to shop for so I could eat healthy. My family is worth the lifestyle overhaul. I am one happy customer.”

“I was so thrilled that I Got my LDL down by 52 points, I had been eating all the right food. and for my snacks Step One Food twice a day. Thank you”

“I saw an advertisement for Step One on Instagram and although I was skeptical I was also hopeful and decided to give it a try for 2 months. I had my labs done right before I started and just completed 60 days and got labs done again for my physical and I am SO happy with the results!! My total cholesterol dropped from 238 to 204, my LDL dropped from 146 to 118 and my total non HDL cholesterol dropped from 165 to 137. I know when I see my primary doctor next week that she is going to be as thrilled as I am! I plan to get a recurring order and would highly recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with their cholesterol.”

“I have had high cholesterol most of my adult life. My LDL consistently measured in the 180s year after year despite a healthy diet and exercise program. During my annual physical in 2022 my physician said we may have to start considering a statin and that we would revisit it next year. Not wanting to take a statin I began researching options. I came across the Step One Foods program- read the clinical trials information, testimonials and reviews. I liked the fact that you weren't forced to join an automatic ship/payment program and, more importantly, that results could be easily and accurately measured with a blood test after a very short time. After 8 weeks of 2 servings a day my LDL measured 154 (a 29 point decrease). With those promising results I was persuaded to continue on the program, eating 2 - 3 servings a day for about 10 months more. In preparation for my 2023 annual physical I had my normal blood work tests and my LDL measured 131- an additional 23 point decrease. So, in summary, after one year on the program my LDL went from 183 to 131! My primary care physician was very surprised and said "whatever you're doing keep doing it- it's working"! No statin recommended. I urge everyone with high cholesterol to give the program a try. BTW, no weight gain- I even lost a few pounds. Finally, the food is delicious (chocolate walnut bars a fav), the customer service is outstanding and the website is easy to navigate.”

“My annual physical in August 2023 revealed that my total cholesterol had reached 303 and my LDL was 221.5. Dr told me I was at high risk for heart attack and stroke. He wrote me a RX for a statin. I decided to try to see if I could get these numbers down naturally, without meds. Found step one on google and gave it a shot. Was skeptical, thought it was too easy to be true. Figured if nothing else, the snacks were wholesome without artificial ingredients. To my delight, got blood work done 33 days after starting Step One and my total cholesterol dropped 64 points to 239 and my LDL-c dropped 53 points to 168. I am blown away. Still have a ways to go to get these numbers where they need to be, but am very encouraged.”

“75 yo male with Type II diabetes 6.7 AIC taking Meformin and Rybelsus. MD recommended statin on 1-11-2022. I declined due to known side effects. Started StepOne BID. At next check Cholesterol 166 down to 85 on 3-3-22, HDL 30 up to 43, LDL 105 down to 36 and Triglycerides 213 down to 72mg. It worked for me twice daily with little change in diet. Still holding on good levels 3-20-2023 last lab.”

“I am a 62 year old woman, and even though I am thin, fit and eat healthy, my total cholesterol has been in the 200s since 2016. In 2019 it hit a high of 258. I started taking step one foods last fall. As of two weeks ago my total cholesterol is 143. I was completely blown away! I have a smoothie every morning using the smoothie mix and I have a bar for a snack. These products truly do work!”

“I am 70 years old and have been using Step One products for a while but found it hard to adhere to a schedule of taking the products faithfully. After my last doctor's complaints about my last blood test numbers, I thought to myself to do a better job. My doctor is amazed my new results were not accomplished by his cholesterol pills. Here are my test comparisons with May 2023 and September 2023 results: May 11 September 13 Total Cholesterol 214 180 HDL 69 67 Triglycerides 74 63 LDL 128 98 Chol/HDLC Ratio 3.1 2.7 Non HDL Cholesterol 145 113 Thank You, Elizabeth Klodas”

“I am 77 years old and have been urged for years to go on,statins which I did not want to do. I started Step One Foods exactly 1 month ago and cholesterol went from 270 down to 229 and LDL from 168 to 121. I am thrilled and love the Sprinkles. I will continue to use this. No side effects from real food!”

“I have fought high cholesterol for years. The doctor said it was genetic and after trying many diets, exercise, walking, and 3 different Statin drugs that made me deathly ill, I decided to do my own research to find a better way of lowering my cholesterol. I found Step One Foods. I tried the Starter Pack for 40 days and had my blood work done. My overall cholesterol went from 290 to 224. My triglycerides went down from 146 to 102 and my bad cholesterol went down from 226.80 to 166.60. My HDL went up from 34 to 37, which I have always struggled with it always being low. My doctor, who never shows any emotion, was so pleased and said "no medications at this time. Keep up what you are doing." I am thrilled and will continue to include Step One Foods in my diet. Thank you to everyone at Step One Foods who are so kind and so helpful.”

“I started Step One Foods in April. I have followed the program pretty closely for 5 months. I had my doctor visit with bloodwork yesterday. the last time I had my cholesterol checked was last March. The results are amazing. My total cholesterol was down 53 points. My LDL was down 49 points, and my triglycerides were down 10 points. AND as a bonus, I lost 16 pounds. I didn't do anything other than to follow the program most of the time. I am totally impressed with the results. I still have a ways to go so I am hoping my next check up in March 2024 will give me even greater results! Thank you Step One Foods for helping me lower my cholesterol without drugs!”

“I had my annual blood work checkup this week with continued great success. My historical Lipids results are: 08-2021: Chol - 227, Trig - 61, HDL - 63, LDL - 150, VLDL -12, NonHDLChol - 164 12-2021: Chol - 179, Trig - 81, HDL - 57, LDL - 117, VLDL -16, NonHDLChol - 122 09-2022: Chol - 124, Trig - 52, HDL - 42, LDL - 87, VLDL -10, NonHDLChol - 82 09-2023 Chol - 152, Trig - 45, HDL - 62, LDL - 90, VLDL - 9 , NonHDLChol - 90 Although Total Cholesterol went up this year by 28 points, the good cholesterol went up 20 points and Triglycerides went down 7 points. LDL was very close to lasts years. My doctor said "Your labs look awesome with no worries". I have. been using Step-One Foods for the last 27 months and am a very satisfied customer.”

“I’m an active 76-year old woman who has been diagnosed with elevated LDL and encouraged by my physician to begin a statin drug. Hesitant to do that, I decided to research possible alternatives, thus discovering Step One Foods on an internet search. After researching the product as best I could for legitimacy, I decided to give it a try. I followed the recommendation to have labs drawn at the onset and again after 30 days of use. While I still have a ways to go, I was impressed with the results. My LDL lowered 20 points; HDL increased 2 points; triglycerides decreased a WHOPPING 37 points; and my total cholesterol dropped by 20 points. Needless to say, I ordered another month’s supply! Not only have I seen improvement in these values, but I also have become more aware of the foods I eat, moving more, and trying to stay hydrated. I truly believe just having a “plan” has helped change my mindset to focus on a healthier lifestyle. Hopefully, since I am borderline diabetic, I will also see an improvement in that area at my next doctor’s appointment. I appreciate the personal contact I have received from Step One Foods and would highly recommend trying these products before pharmaceutical intervention!”

“After using Step One from one doctors visit to the next, my bad cholesterol went down from 161 to 114. Now none of my doctors pester me about using meds. I reduced, but did not eliminate entirely, eating red meat, and dairy, and eggs. My good cholesterol went up.”

“I have been eating Step one Foods for o Dr two Years. I enjoy the Dark Chocolate Walnut Bars and Strawberry Shake as well as the Sprinkles. My doctor was so pleased when I lowered my cholesterol by eating Step One. I put the sprinkles in a bowl and add my yogurt along with a banana. These foods really work. I also find the customer service people that I speak with are so very helpful. Keep up the great work.”

“I'm very pleased with Step One Foods so far. I've been using it for a few months now and plan to continue. I like that it's flexible so I can work it around my daily meal options including consideration of meal planning to include my husband as he is not using the Step One Foods plan. I am pleased that the products arrive quickly and when they're promised. The packaging is very well done by meal (or snack) portions that are easy to open (not hard plastic that nearly requires dynamite) and for carrying in my suitcase when I travel. I love that there is an e-mail address that does not say "no reply." A real live person writes me right back.”

“I never write reviews but had to share….. My recent labs for triglycerides and cholesterol were very concerning to me because they were so high (262 and 261). I wanted to experiment and try to reduce them by changing my diet. I was happy to learn about Step One because it’s so simple to add two of the foods each day. They are delicious and satisfying. I was shocked when I re-tested my labs today (after only 45 days) and my triglycerides came down to 156 (WOW!) and my overall cholesterol is now 212. I’m thrilled and feel motivated to continue the course and see how low I can get them. I also tried to focus on a Mediterranean diet and cut down on my alcohol as well. It all worked together beautifully and I feel great. I lost 5 pounds as well. Sooooo happy!”

“Aug. 30,2023 Total cholesterol 195,48 HDl,128 Triglycerides,125 LDl happy Camper April 16, 2023 Total Chol.209, I been using Step One Foods for while now and it does work, I love the Walnuts choc.bars, I will keep ordering your foods Thank you Cynthia Arbuckle”

“I'm a 68 year old who has tried everything I know to lower my cholesterol. Just couldn't get my total cholesterol below 200. I tried this and after two months got my new test results. Total Cholesterol went from 263 in January to 245 in August. My HDL went from 68 to 82 and LDL went from 158 to 129. I didn't have as good a change in Tryglycerides but it did go from 185 to 170. Because of my age and family history, we decided to add a low dose of statin. I plan to keep Step One Foods as part of my diet and I'm very happy with the results.”

“Another year, another physical, followed by another lecture about not eating fast food because my cholesterol levels had increased yet again. Their answer -medicine! Those side effects are no joke, including becoming diabetic!! I learned about Step One Foods, researched and thought I had nothing to lose. But I did!!! 48 points off my overall cholesterol, 43 off my LDL!!! Sooooo thrilled!!! Thank you Step One foods!!!”

“I came across Step One Foods after a doctor visit where my total cholesterol had climbed 28 points and my LDL 50 points. I had never had high cholesterol or LDL until this visit and have always eaten healthy and exercised regularly. Who would have thought menopause combined with a foot surgery that limited my normal exercise and activity level would have that much impact on my cholesterol in just one year! I consulted my doctor about Step One Foods and we both decided that for the cost of a 30-day commitment I should try it. Wow! It was so nice to purchase something that actually did what it claims it will do! After 30 days I had another lipid panel done and it showed I lowered my cholesterol to 182 and my LDL came back down the 50 points it had spiked in that year. Thank you Step One Foods! This was just what I needed to get back on track and re-energized about my health!”

“After I retired, my cholesterol started to inch up over 200. It had always been below 200 but in 2022 was up to 233. My HDLs were good but LDLs were getting higher than they should be. My mother always had high cholesterol so I thought that was my fate. I started looking for more natural options to bring down my cholesterol and found Step One Foods. It sounded too good to be true and I was very skeptical but thought I would give it a try and ordered the trial pack. I’m a chocoholic and I loved both chocolate bars. I tried them for the first 30 days and just so happened it was time for my 6 month bloodwork and checkup with my GP. My total cholesterol was down 33 points and that was just on one snack bar most days, occasionally I’d use the sprinkles on cereal. I was amazed!! Still skeptical so I didn’t say anything to my doc. As a scientist who worked for big Pharma all of my career, I was still not totally convinced, I needed more data. At my next 6 monthly check up, my cholesterol was down to 185 and has maintained that level for a year. My husband has also started the bars but has not been as responsive. His cholesterol dropped about 10 points from 219 but he stepped up to 2 snacks a day as recommended so we are waiting until his next bloodwork to see the results. I have also recommended Step One Foods to several of my friends recently, we are hopeful their results will be as good or better than mine. I mentioned to my GP at my last appointment and she asked me to send her the information on Step One Foods for her review, which I have done. Great product for people whose cholesterol metabolism responds to Step One Foods ingredients. It’s definitely worth a try!!”

“Once I turned 50, it seemed that my cholesterol had been sneaking up a little each year. I was always active and ate healthy. My cholesterol was always in the mid 100s. But when I turned 58, my cholesterol was at 236! I was shocked! I had learned about Step-One and decided to give it a try. Because I’m busy and active, the next time my cholesterol was measured was at my doctors appointment when I turned 59. I had been using Step-One foods for almost a year by that point. Both my doctor and I were very surprised when my cholesterol measured 183! She asked me what changes I had made. I told her I had just added Step-One foods to my diet, twice a day. I love the sprinkles on yogurt or the oatmeal for breakfast and I would have an apple cinnamon or cranberry walnut bar for afternoon snack. She was amazed. I was happy! And I tell everyone I know about this great product!”

“I found Step One online as I was researching ways to lower cholesterol without statins. I am a 60-year old woman who has always eaten pretty well and exercised a lot, but after menopause and an ongoing stressful career, my cholesterol numbers were creeping higher and higher. I am happy to report now that I am on the Step One plan, all of my numbers have come down considerably! (except my HDL which has always been high... in the 70's) I still have more work to do but am very happy with the products. As much as I like the chocolate and also peanut butter bars they are pretty high in fat so I pretty much stick to the oatmeals, sprinkle, and cinnamon apple bars. I also started taking a citrus bergamot supplement and will redo my bloodwork in a couple of months to see if that helps. I am very happy with Step One!”

“I am so happy to say this really works!!! My cholesterol is down 59 points. From 218 to 159. The best part is my LDL (BAD) is down 144 to 90. I have always been on the upper end of the good. I recommend this product!!”

“I started step one foods during the pandemic. After the first year my LDL dropped 37 points. My doctor said to keep it up. I can't take statins so this brought my ratios to a more acceptable level. I do 2 sprinkle packages a day. They are great on fruit, yogurt, cereal, salads and vegetables. I also like the pancake mix. I highly recommend this company and product.”

“I started Steponefoods six months ago. My cholesterol was 284 and LDL 217, Triglycerides 99. After 6 months my Cholesterol Total is 194 my LDL is 134, my Triglycerides 68 LDL/ HDL 2.9. I was blown away by the results. Recommend to anyone!”

“Hello, I started using Step One Foods a few years ago. I love a little chocolate with my tea in the afternoon, but wanted a healthier option. Voila! Chocolate Crunch Bar! Oh so delicious. I had to keep ordering because hubby found my not so secret stash! This led to the other delicious products such as the Blueberry Oatmeal, ALL the bars and now the yumilicious Apple Spice Oatmeal to mention a few. I love the convenience, the taste and the lowered cholesterol levels. The food provides guilt free, good for you options. If I have questions or need help, customer service is outstanding on all counts. The videos and information provided by Dr. Klodas are marvelous. I love her science backed yet practical suggestions making it all doable. She seems like a humble lady with a very grounded upbringing. My family is still discussing the wonder of eating the ENTIRE apple, core and all! That was a fun conversation. I am very thankful for Dr. Klodas' vision, this company, and the many hearts and hands continuing to pour into it.”

“I really was skeptical at first and tried all of them. The one I really enjoy is Strawberry mix and Chocolate Bars and Sprinkles. I lowered my cholesterol by over 58 points. Last blood test showed It went up a little. I'm still eating my delicious Chocolate Walnut Bars and making Strawberry Shakes and using the sprinkles in my yogurt. I save my chocolate bar for just before I go to bed.”

“A couple of years ago my CBC revealed I had a high cholesterol count. (bad, LDL). I knew I was dangerously close to having to try a statin drug, but since my hubby had such a bad experience on his statin medication, side effects of myalgias (pain in his legs, etc.), I diligently researched alternatives. I stumbled on Step One Foods, and it really interested me. Thought I'd give it a shot. The rest is history. When my CBC test was repeated about 3 months later, it had gone down 60 points! I was thrilled! My doctor was happy too. The bonus is that the snack varieties are actually tasty!!! I thought they'd taste like cardboard, but I was pleasantly surprised to find out they were so yummy! I have been a committed customer ever since. :)”

“My teenage boys had elevated cholesterol. I knew if we didn't lower their numbers medication would be recommended....a subject that I didn't want to tackle with the cardiologist. I researched and found Step One Foods. Our next bloodwork levels revealed 30%-50% decrease in their numbers. The doctor had not heard about Step One Foods and encouraged me to reach out to you about our results! Thank you so much for your determination and dedication and for thinking 'outside of the box'!!!! We need more of this mindset! Bless you!!!!”

“After years of trying to stay off statins with diet and exercise my doctor said this time if I couldn't lower my numbers in three months it was time to start medication. About this time I heard of Step One foods and ordered a starter pack. I quickly found I like the sprinkles and bars the best because they were easiest to fit into my routine. At my 3 month recheck my total cholesterol was down 40 points and my LDL-C was down 30 points. I was told this was a significant change and to continue what I was doing and we'd forgo the statins. Success! Thank you Step One foods!!”

“I had a heart attack May 2022. Fast forward, after being on a statin from that point up to March 2023, my cholesterol increased by 25 points. I really didn’t care to be on a statin as I could feel its side effects, but I did want to live, and after all, modern medicine saved my life. I don’t remember what I was searching for on the internet, but found the Step One website by accident. Sounded far too good to be true, but I had nothing to lose. I decided that even if it tasted horrible and I had to gag it down, I’d at least try it for a month. Ordered my 30-day supply, and totally unexpectedly, I loved everything! (I think I’ve become a Step One addict!) After 1 month, my total cholesterol went down 73 points! The good cholesterol went up and the bad went down. I was completely stunned. I showed my test results to a few people and five of those people have now ordered Step One. I continued on for another month, but my cholesterol increased by 20 points. I am still well within normal range, and I’ve read that there are many factors that can affect cholesterol tests, so I’m not worried. I’m now a monthly starter pack subscriber. I want to see what happens longer term, and will test again in a few months. I’ve stayed on, and am still on, a 5 mg statin. Seems to me that it’s not just a matter of eating well, but also what you eat. Why don’t all cardiologists know about Step One and inform their patients, give us the option? Why aren’t we guided about what foods can help lower cholesterol? This seems so major to me – this food has literally changed my life. And it’s only food!! I’m not against medicine by any means – but if simple food can help my body avoid another heart attack, I’m open to it. Dr. Klodis, I can’t thank you enough for digging deeper than the average doctor. Must have been much trial and error, but you’ve got the right combination now. And it all tastes so yummy!!”

“I started Step One in May 2023 following a high calcium score (451). My LDL then was 82, on July 12 it was 29. My Blood Pressure went from 155 /100 in January to 116/75 at the end of May and weight from around 240 to 223. I have done intense exercise (mostly stationary cycling and weightlifting 5 or 6 days a week) through this period. Step One has facilitated transition to the Mediterranean diet and has produced a different peace in appetite. For me, the plant based benefits have been obtainable since I take it with breakfast and lunch or snack and it isn’t disruptive to anyone else in the family. It is now part of my diet and grocery budget, keep up the great work!”

“I am the type that cannot take medicines everyday and tried to take a statin because my cholesterol was high. I took a chance and ordered the starter kit and then 30 days after I went an tested my lipids. I couldn’t believe that it came down 29 points. When my doctor saw this she was thrilled and asked me what was I doing. I told her about step one and she congratulated me on finding this product. I have placed another order of the other foods step one offers and they are really good!! Thank you Step One for helping people like me who can’t take statins.”

“I eat Step One- bars (love them all) - oatmeal & smoothies (are my favorite I add some plant protein to the smoothies) - and pancakes ( I want to make their muffins ) I like the flavor and it makes it easy to stick to a plan- My cholesterol hasn’t gone down a point in years - it has been slowly creeping up . May 2,2023 total cholesterol was 228 After about six weeks of eating -twice a day- step one foods it dropped 10 points: July 12, 2023 total cholesterol 218 ( 4.39% drop) My Triglycerides went from 160 to 95 mg/dL( 40.63% drop) Non-HDL Cholesterol dropped from 179 to 169 I will keep using Step One Foods and change some more eating habits ( no eating fast foods) - I will take another blood test in a couple of months I will switch around my dinner(evening) to a supper ( lunch between noon and 2) and add salads- with no red meat- salads will not be boring I will add fruit- nuts - hard boiled egg or whatever I have a taste for. Anyone have an idea for a salad recipe?”

“I started One Step foods two to three months ago. Just had my annual cholesterol test. I'm still above normal levels, but all my numbers are a little lower. Total chol 251 to 241. LDL 156 to 153. non HDL 183 to 178. Two tests that I'm not high in also came down: HDL 68 to 63 and triglycerides 144 to 129. I'm going to continue on Step One and hope for continued improvement.”

“I was on a low dose statin prescribed by my previous PA 18 months ago, but experienced leg aches, so discontinued its use. (At that time he told me he prescribed the statin because I was 70 years old.). Following numerous tests ordered by my new primary care nurse practitioner and cardiologist, they once again recommended statins, this time to lower my cholesterol which had elevated slightly in the last 18 months. I had researched Step One Foods previously and used the products sporadically, not faithfully following the program. This time, however I vowed to be loyal to my goal, and thus far have been pleased with the preliminary results. After 30 days, my Cholesterol was down from 210 to 198, HDL was down from 59-55, Triglicerides from 116 to 98 and LDL from 129 to 123. I know my numbers are not spectacular, but I feel I am on the right path. My cardiologist recommended I continue the program for another 60 days. Were these like other meals replacement bars (cardboard!), I would throw in the towel and deal with the side effects of statin use, but Step One Foods are DELICIOUS! They are satisfying and have eliminated my sugar cravings. Thank you! I have also recommended Step One to several friends who have issues with the side effects of statin use. ** As a side note, when I first called my cardiologist to ask about using your program, the nurse I spoke with chuckled and said, “I used to work for Dr. Klodas in Minnesota, and when she was developing the products, I actually helped make the bars in her kitchen!” She further noted the very impressive results their patients experienced using Step One. It truly is a small world!”

“I ordered Step One products and ate them for 22 days. I kept my appointment for my cholesterol check knowing that I had not yet completed the full 30 days. My good cholesterol increased significantly, while my bad cholesterol and triglycerides decreased significantly. My PCP told me to "keep on eating this way." The apple cinnamon bars were absolutely delicious. I was baffled by the reviews that people didn't care for them! Some mentioned the texture. I LOVED the texture. They were moist and didn't crumble at all. They're easy to eat in my car! While I chew them I can taste the bursts of fruit flavors: apples, dates, berries, and cranberry. YUM!!! My second favorite Step One product is the blueberry oatmeal. I can taste the blueberries and cinnamon. It's under 200 calories, so I add frozen blueberries, nuts, a bit of granola, and milk to turn it into a full breakfast. I set up a subscription so that it would arrive every 8 weeks. That gave me a significant discount plus FREE shipping. FYI, I made an error in how I set it up and had to email customer support for help. Alaina fixed the problem and reimbursed me for the shipping costs. Then she asked what I thought of the products. I told her I was not a fan of the chocolate walnut bars, but I loved everything else. She sent me a SAMPLE of every Step One product so that I could choose one that I liked better than the chocolate walnut bars. I tried them all and told her the apple cinnamon bars and blueberry oatmeal were still my favorite. She shipped out more of those because of my problems. I did NOT ask for any special favors. I was so shocked at their generosity. AND she encouraged me to share what I didn't like with friends and family or to donate them to a food bank. That's the first time a company EVER communicated so thoroughly and thoughtfully. I am a Step One Foods customer for life!!”

“I was skeptical about actually seeing any results, but because of what I have heard about the side effects of the medicines to lower my Cholesterol, I decided to give Step One Food a 30 day trial. Nothing else I have done till now has lowered by numbers. So when my total cholesterol climbed up to 315 I knew I needed to do something. After only 30 days of eating 2 bars a day my total number went down "41" points!. I am now at 274 and that is the lowest I have been in 10 years. I also want to thank the support team for sharing information on a test to reveal a Calcium Score, something my doctor never mentioned to me. They call it a CT scan and it looks at your arteries to see if you have a blockage. Thanks again to Step One foods and the support team. Michele from CT”

“After being on Step One Foods for three months, my total cholesterol went from 232 to 210 LDL was 161 now 142 HDL was 55 now 53 Trig was 82 now 76 A1C was 6.3 now 6.2. Step One Foods works. Thanks!”

“Six months ago my bad cholesterol was 409-eek! I knew I needed to make a change. It had never been that bad…so a friend mentioned these wonderful bars. It’s been 6 months and I dropped from 409 to 115! Yep, I’m a true believer! I will use them as a meal replacement once a day going forward. Thank you!!”

“My cholesterol levels have been fluctuating around 200-220. I was trying to lower with diet and exercise. On May 5,2023 my Doctor told me that my cholesterol skyrocketed to 280, the highest ever. She recommended a low dose statin. That is when I did some research and found Step One. As I wanted to avoid the statin and after reading all about Step One and all the reviews I thought I would give it a try. My June 16,2023 total cholesterol test results is 192. Huge change in 30 days! I am excited and can't wait to share with my Doctor. I am going to continue with Step One for sure. Thank you.”

“My last cholesterol test in December 2022 was 218 total cholesterol. The doctor said this was OK as long as it was under 230, but it wouldn’t hurt to bring it down some. My wife’s cholesterol was a little high also so we decided to try the step one bars as we had had good results with the plant sterols several years ago when we used minute maid orange juice with plant sterols in it. I started eating one cranberry pecan bar per day at lunch on February 15, 2023, and was very consistent about it. I had a lipid panel on June 7, 2023, and my cholesterol was down 30 points to 187. I definitely recommend this product.”

“I just love all of what is provided including the products and especially the articles. I am always in a learning mode being a 73-year old woman this is my number one job in life to stay on top of my health. I have shared the wonders of what Step One and Dr. Klodas offer to friends and family. This has helped me take control and maintain a more healthy diet and lifestyle.”

“I only started using these products 12 days prior to a cholesterol check and I dropped from 230 to 195! It was such a good feeling. I am a life long customer now.”

“In early 2021 I had a lipid profile done for the first time in probably 5 years. I was 56 y.o. and postmenopausal. My total cholesterol was 315 and my LDL was 214. I was barely home from having my blood drawn when the doctor's office called saying the doctor wanted me on 40 mg of a statin because my LDL was so high. My HDL and triglycerides were perfect. I asked about side effects, but wasn't given much information. I didn't know much about statins at the time, so agreed to fill the prescription and then retest in 3 months. 3 months later my numbers were down about 100 points, but I had also done some research on statins and decided I did not want to take them for the rest of my life. I had also had a stress test, a cardiac calcium test and a hsCRP and they were all good. So, after 4 months of taking them, I stopped. The next year when I had my lipid profile done, my numbers were back up. A friend told me about Step One Foods, but I didn't follow through with it at that time. I started seeing a functional medicine doctor and she did additional blood work that showed some possible risk factors. I'm not sure why I finally decided to try Step One Foods, but in late February of this year I did. After 5 weeks of using them, my total cholesterol went from 312 to 241, my LDL from 217 to 134, my HDL from 79 to 98 and my Triglycerides from 64 to 44! I was amazed! I was really skeptical, but I am a believer now. As a bonus, the food tastes really good and the customer service is fantastic! Thank you Step One Foods!”

“I'm a 65 yr old woman who has always had high cholesterol. So did my mom who lived to be 92 and my grandmother who lived to be 100yrs old. Mom was put on statins when they became popular at I think age 70. She died from a fall, not heart disease... I believe due to muscle weakness from being on a statin. My opinion. Anyway, over the years, I've been on statins for maybe a total of 1 year. That drug did bring my cholesterol down drastically. After consuming two Step One foods per day for several months, stopped eating butter or margarine, exercised moderately, lost 4 pounds.....my total cholesterol dropped from 330 to 277. 53 points. Only my LDL remained in the high zone but did drop to 189. All other numbers in normal range. My HDL is always good...62 this time. Surprisingly, even at 330 my doctor said I don't need to take statins as the rest of my bloodwork is good and I don't have any other risk factors. Go figure. Maybe a new trend.”

“I have struggled with high cholesterol for the last 10 or so years. Post menopause it seems to be even higher. Doctor wants to put me on a statin but I would rather find a more natural approach. I am 57 yrs old, 5ft 7in tall and weigh 140. I am fairly active and do not drink alcohol or smoke, nor have a family history of heart disease. My only risk factor is the high cholesterol numbers. I saw an ad for the Step One Foods program, read the testimonials and decided to give it a try. I began using two servings of Step One Foods a day beginning the end of March 2023 and just had my blood work done (2 1/2 months later) and was pleasantly surprised by the results. December 2022 my numbers were Total: 284, LDL 183, HDL 64, Tri 186. Today: Total: 236, LDL 150, HDL 58, Tri 138. It may still be a bit high to what I'm sure my Doctor would like, but I am over the moon happy with these results. Nothing else I've tried in the past has helped move my numbers like this. Also, I have not changed my eating/activity habits at all. Thank you Dr. Klodas for providing an alternative to medications with a more natural approach to lowering our cholesterol. My suggestion...try it. You have nothing to lose!”

“I tried Step One as a last resort to get my LDL down before going on statins like my doctor was pushing me to. I was on your program for 5 or 6 weeks before I got around to having my lipids checked again. My LDL dropped 36 points!! I was shocked...and so happy! I couldn't believe it. My LDL has always been my problem and no matter what I did before, it was just going in the wrong direction. My total cholesterol dropped 32 points! I am so thrilled I found Step One Foods. I plan on making this a permanent part of my daily diet. Thank you so much!”

“My journey with Step One Foods started at the end of Nov 2022. I have suffered with high cholesterol numbers for years mainly from heredity. I tried watching my diet and was able to do it for a while but never got the results I wanted. When my doctor started talking about a Statin that is when I looked into Step One Foods. I found that I liked the products and working two a day into my diet was easy. I especially liked the ease of taking them with me when traveling. My favorites for sure are the Anytime Sprinkles and the Strawberry Banana Smoothie. I also continued to watch my diet and eat more healthy foods. I do not deprive myself totally and do occasionally have the things I really want, but all in moderation. Here are my numbers: Nov 2022 Cholesterol 223 (I had been as high as 251) Jan 2023 Cholesterol 210 and today May 2023 186!! HDL numbers 57, 65 and today 64 LDL numbers 146, 130 and today 107 Triglyceride numbers 100, 76, 77 ( I had been as high as 148) What more can I say. I am a believer and will continue using them. Thank you!”

“As an RN, I wanted to "see" the proof, and so had my lipids checked prior to starting StepOne, then after four weeks of being on two servings daily. I was stunned to see my total cholesterol go from 228 to 205 and my LDL's go from 153 to 133 in only FOUR weeks! I can't wait to continue my journey to finally getting my lipids under control without having to resort to a statin. Thanks so much, Dr. Klodas!”

“For the last few years my cholesterol numbers have been creeping up for the first time ever. I have no other risk factors but couldn't get the numbers down on my own. My doctor prescribed a statin, but I just didn't want to take the medication if I didn't have to. Found StepOne Foods while researching more natural ways to control cholesterol. I am thrilled that my total cholesterol has dropped 27 pts. LDL is down 25 pts to 105! I'll be using StepOne Foods indefinitely and have been telling family and friends about my success with this product! Thank you for an effective alternative to medication.”

“I had my cholesterol tested yesterday and it drom from 220 down to 180. Yay. I am in the normal range for the first time in several years. I did the starter get and was faithful to do the two serving each day. All the products taste great and has helped me eat less bad sugar. Thank you Step One😊”

“Hi, I've been using Step One products for over a year now. I just tasted the new reformulated bars - the dark chocolate peanut butter, the apple cinnamon and the dark chocolate walnut. They are delicious. Big improvement over the previous bars. I don't usually leave comments but this deserves a shout out. Great Job!”

“I received a crisis alert a day after my annual physical last month (early March 2023) and was immediately told by my doctor a prescription for statins was forthcoming because my total cholesterol was too high at crisis level 287. My response: I would rather try natural remedies to than lower my cholesterol than statins. Not at all convinced, my doctor asked me at minimum to immediately start walking 25 mins a day and stretch 5 mins. He gave me a week to come back with a viable natural treatment plan or else statins, it is. After chatting with a work colleague the same day I spoke with my doctor, I learned about Step One Foods and immediately researched and ordered what I needed to begin my plant based foods treatment. Fast forward 30 days later, and a second round of lab work, I am happy to report all my numbers are now trending lower. My total cholesterol has dropped 49 points from 287 to 238 in just 30 days! I almost feel a surge of renewed energy at almost 56 years young in July. I hope to continue on this trajectory and will provide an update after my 6 month mark lab work in early Fall. Thank you, Dr. Klodas and the entire Step One Foods Team, for your foresight and dedication to fighting a good fight by discovering and promoting what I consider miracle foods.”

“I have used Step One off and on for several years. I couldn't use it as directed for some time due to other health issues I was having, so my husband was eating these more often. He has not had real cholesterol issues, but his had gone down considerably a year ago. Fast forward to our recent annual check-ups. I have resolved health issues, and try faithfully to incorporate Step One products in my day. My cholesterol has dropped 50 Points! My doctor was thrilled, and said to continue using these products, as they are obviously helping.”

“I am SO pleased with Step One Foods. It has lowered my triglycerides by 49 points!! I am in the Green zone by just enjoying 2 great snacks a day.😄 Thank you Dr. Klodas for your time and effort to develop these convenient, effective, healthy products. BTW-I really enjoy and learn more from each of your articles.”

“LDL 159, cardiologist wanted a statin. I said not yet. Learned about Step One via fb. Ordered, the LDL steadily declined to my goal for my husband, which was below 100. As of this week, LDL is 95, HDL is 69, TG's 51, TC 174. I as his RN wife am quite pleased. I am assured the heart doctor will be also. Every persons body and medical situation is different I get that. I would like to encourage you as a spouse and a RN to strongly consider Step One.”

“64 year old female. Just had my lipid panel run - 14 months ago my numbers were horrid. Total cholesterol dropped by 104 points!! I’m only 14 points from top of normal range; LDL dropped 73 points - 11 points from top of normal range and my trigs - dropped 84 points, well under top of normal range. I can hardly wait to hear what my doctor has to say. I’ve been on Step One for almost 4 months. This is the motivation I needed to up my exercise and continue tracking my food!”

“In May, 2202,my cholesterol was around 220. Began Step One Foods in Dec 2022. Blood tested in Feb 2023. Cholesterol 175!!! Will be testing again in May to see if this has been maintained as I have continued using Step One Foods, 2 servings a day”

“For the last several years my cholesterol has been hovering around 220 and this year increased with 242 with an LDL of 170. I've been resisting a statin and trying to manage cholesterol through diet and exercise. I run 25-30 miles per week, do some strength training, and study martial arts twice per week. I had a good diet with only grilled meats, fish and vegetables with very little processed foods. I agreed to the statin and almost simultaneously found Step One Foods. I have been consistent with two doses per day, adding psyllium husk, and the medication. I have also largely eliminated meat from my diet (though not completely). I asked for a 4 month check on my cholesterol and it dropped from 242 to 129 and the my LDL's dropped from 170 to 64. However, it appears the statin is "irritating my liver a bit" as per my doctor so the dosage was reduced with another check in 3 months ( I was put on the second highest dosage of Crestor and was not followed. The blood test was me wanting that check.). My doctor seems to only acknowledge the medication, but I can't see the addition of Step One, psyllium husk, and other diet changes as not having a positive impact.”

“My Cholesterol lowered from 255 down to 189 in a month. So happy with One Step!”

“I started Step one foods in November 2022 and cholesterol was 257. I had my cholesterol tested in March 2023 and it went down to 152. I was shocked at how much lower it was! It works!!”

“LDL down from 160 to 128 without anytime to exercise and eating somewhat bad aside from these bars! Now I’m motivated to eat a little healthier and hit the gym a bit more to see if I can continue to get my numbers down without taking medication!”

“As a healthy 59 year old, I was distraught to see my blood work come back with elevated cholesterol. Since I had no other markers, (weight, blood pressure, exercise routine….all good) I was determined to resolve this. Since I already had a good diet, my doctor pointed me in the direction of Step One Foods. After 3 months of eating 2 servings a day, my overall cholesterol dropped 28, my LDL dropped 36, my triglycerides dropped 27 & my HDL went up 13!! I couldn’t be more grateful and thrilled. The “bonus” is that I am actually enjoying eating Step One Foods!”

“After being on this program for six weeks my overall cholesterol went from 243 to 202; triglycerides edged up from 87 to 95, but still in the normal range. HDL went from 66 to 61 and LDL went from 160 to 141. I like the oatmeal, bars, smoothie and pancake mix the best. East to fit into my day. Thank you.”

“Because of my digestion/food allergies, etc, I didn't jump right in and do the two packet/servings a day. I went slowly to adjust my system and they still worked! Test results this week: LDL down 17 points, HDL went from 50 to 57.7 and my cardiac risk factor is now low being at 2.69 (range is 3.03-5.37). I'm finding I like the blueberry oatmeal and anytime sprinkle the best. I haven't tried the bars; I didn't like the pancake mix. I shared the product with my doctor taking her a packet of anytime sprinkle. She said she would share the information with other patients. I'm now committed to using Step One more often and so happy I will not be pushed anymore to take statins. Thank you Step One!”

“I have had borderline cholesterol the last few years at my annual checkup. I had a recent illness which put me in a state of mind that it's time to take care of my health. I stumbled across Step One foods while researching how to lower Cholesterol. I am so glad I did. After just one month, I got my lipids checked and I went from 238 to 196 total cholesterol, 153 to 120 on LDL, 71 to 61 on HDL. I ordered the trial pack and I wasn't a fan of the bars at first but I acquired the taste and now crave for the ones with chocolate (I am a chocoholic). I really love the blueberry oatmeal too and I put the sprinkles in yogurt and don't want to eat plain yogurt now. I totally recommend trying Step One foods.”

“First, thank you for this wonderful product. I am so excited to report that my over all Cholesterol Level dropped from 211 to 189. This is the first time I ever been below 200. This will be my go to guide forever. I‘ve always tried to eat healthy, but nothing seemed to work. I refused to take any type of medication and always looked for the natural solutions. I shared my experience with my cousin and he has already order his starter kit. Again thank you. Dianne L”

“In November of 2022, I had a check up. I was shocked when my Cholesterol came back with the following: TOTAL: 269 HDL: 63 LDL: 196 I was told that I needed to go on a statin immediately. For many reasons, I decided that I would try lowering it naturally. Still, I was told that it would be close to impossible to lower it 100 points. I worked out, I dieted and cut back on alcohol. Everyday, I ate Step One Oatmeal for breakfast and the Chocolate Walnut bar as a snack. I took fish oils, plant statins and blue berries with my daily protein shake. Below are my before and after results Total Cholesterol 269—> 175 HDL Cholesterol 63 —>65 LDL Cholesterol 196 —> 100”

“Six months ago I was shocked when my lab work revealed I had high cholesterol for the first time ever. The doctor gave me six months to see if I could bring my numbers under control with dietary changes, and so I began searching online for information. I found Step One Foods and decided to give these products a try, along with making other changes (eliminating just about all processed food and transitioning from being vegetarian to being more vegan). I credit Step One with helping me stick to my new diet, because the delicious dark chocolate bars and other daily "treats" were my reward for avoiding the pastry and ice cream I used to indulge in. Step One emails, especially Dr. Klodas's blog entries, also helped me stay motivated. Yesterday my doctor was very pleased to learn that the latest lab work showed my LDL ("lethal cholesterol," as she calls it) had decreased by 24 points, from 116 to 92. I'll be continuing on the Step One path!”

“My cholesterol numbers started going up around 2002, particularly the triglyceride number. I’ve always exercised, eaten a healthy diet and being a healthcare professional in medical imaging kept me moving pretty much non stop at work. My doctor at that time put me on Lovaza which bought my number down fairly quickly. It was very expensive. Over the years my numbers went up and down including my glucose level. I was never diagnosed as diabetic but as the standard high normal trended down over the years from 120 to what it is today I was told I was pre-diabetic. After retiring at age 55 the roller coaster numbers continued and I was told my cholesterol numbers were probably genetic and could go no lower. An ER doctor friend told me to avoid statins like the plague. He suggested I try a natural statin, red yeast rice in capsule form. After 3-4 weeks taking it I felt like I’d been run over by a MAC truck! I stopped taking it and fairly quickly felt normal again. Ever since then I unabashedly have told my doctors do not prescribe a statin because I will not take it. I’m now 70 years old and like most people posting testimonials I stumbled onto Step One Foods online. After reading all the stories I had to give it a try. I ordered a box of pancake mix, oatmeal and the chocolate walnut bars to see if I liked them. I did so subscribed and added a second type of bar and the smoothie mix. I add a tiny amount of powdered stevia to the mixes as well as some frozen raspberries or wild blueberries. I’ve had no problem working them into my regular diet. My baseline bloodwork numbers are from July 2022 and my first draw after 2 1/2 months on Step One was 2-2-23. The results after such a short period of time were astounding to me! Every number dropped except my HDL which went in the right direction….up! Here are my results: Total cholesterol was 272, now is 251 Triglycerides was 383, now is 279!!!!! HDL was 47, now is 57 LDL was 153, now is 138 Glucose was 128, now is 114 This is thrilling and I feel so good knowing this food is lower my numbers the right way at the root level and not by treating the symptoms. Thank you for really caring about lowering cholesterol levels with intelligence and care! An added bonus is with this program and eating right plus regular exercise I’ve also lost 15 pounds.”

“My blood numbers have been getting worse each annual test for several years. After the most recent test I was near needing statins and stumbled on an ad for Step One Foods. I dove in with my hubby joining me. It took devotion and some creativity - but we never wavered for 60 days until my test. I am thrilled - my total went from 268 to 202, LDL 177 to 114, HDL 53 to 60 and triglycerides 222 to 164. My doctor was very pleased and I’m hooked on continuing to eat this food. My hubby will test next month and we are hoping for good results. I find the breakfasts more enjoyable with a few additions like raisins, coconut, sunflower kernels and walnuts sprinkled on oatmeal - banana, frozen grapes, frozen pineapple added to smoothie instead of ice. Finding the recipe for crackers using sprinkles was a real game changer for the snacks as we aren’t big fans of the bars - so we use the crackers 3 times a week. I’ve even used sprinkles to top casseroles and on a sandwich- you just need to find what works for you.”

“I used Step One foods for one month. I went and had my lipids checked. My Total Cholesterol went from 199 to 135; Triglycerides from 251 to 207; LDL from 103 to 69 and Total Cholesterol/Cholesterol HDL Ratio was 3.5 which is good. I will continue with the foods for a few more months. Thanks”

“Just received my first order - nice sample package included which was great. Also received call after placing order to assure all was to my satisfaction. Very impressive and will spread the word!”

“It's been about 60 days and truthfully I wasn't as consistent as I had hoped, (I religiously had one of the products every day but not both). Even still, my LDL went down from 198 to 156 and total cholesterol 261 to 232. My LDL has not been this low in over 2 years! I hope to be more consistent the next 2 months and hoping to get my LDL under 200.”

“I have been on this Step One Program for three months. I love their products. I just had my blood work done and my total cholesterol is down 47 points and my ldl is down 30 points. I plan to stay on this program to meet my goals. Thank you Step One.”

“After seven weeks LDL went from 149 to 124. Total cholesterol went from 222 to 191. Triglycerides from 131 to 97. This was just eating 1 bar a day as a snack!”

“My cholesterol has been high since I was in my 30's, despite my activity level and diet. My HDL always saved me and balanced out my risk. As a nurse, I was aware of how important it was to keep my cholesterol under control. However, now that I'm in my 60's and my activity level has decreased I'm in a danger zone. I started the program on 10/23/22 and obtained results on 12/6/22. My baseline cholesterol was 275 and is now 130!!! My LDL was 187 and was reduced to 62. My triglycerides were 194 and are now 150. The doctor had put me on a statin, Lipitor but it does not have these kinds of results. I'm hoping when I see him next that I can stop taking it. Thank you for an amazingly good-tasting product that produces very good results. Sincerely, Heidi RN”

“Prior to beginning Step One, my doctor recommended that I take a low dose statin, even though he acknowledged that my lipid panel was "near normal." We both agreed that action to improve my values was important and wise, but I declined the statin, in favor of starting first with a plan of exercise and nutrition to effect a change. So, shortly thereafter, I discovered Step One Foods and began the program on September 21, 2022. I am happy to report that this effort has been successful! In addition to enjoying the taste of the foods and losing about 15 pounds, my comparison lipid panel on November 10th reflected a 16% decrease in total cholesterol, due to the amazing 34 point decrease in the LDL value! Additionally, HDL increased by one point, tryglicerides decreased by 4 points, and glucose decreased by 40 points! Results are key, and I now have proof of an effective plan of action for cholesterol reduction, which gives me confidence and provides a solid basis for avoiding statin therapy in my case, where possible. Of course, I will continue to consult and collaborate with my doctor, as we both keep a vigil an my health. And, in doing so, I am continuing on Step One and have been recommending the program to friends, who are now beginning their journey. Thank you! ------ ➖️Comparison Lipid Panel / 11-10-22: ▪️Total Cholesterol = 185 (34 Point Decrease From 219) ▪️HDL Chesterol = 72 (1 Point Increase From 71) ▪️Triglycerides = 57 (4 Point Decrease From 61) ▪️LDL Cholesterol = 102 (34 point Decrease From 136) ▪️Glucose = 80 (40 point Decrease From 120)”

“My Primary Care Physician is giving me extra time to bring my Total cholesterol down from 210, Triglyceride 120,HDL 75(which was always good), LDL 112 down by January 4th 2022 or she will put me on Statins. I tried the Step One Food Program for 30 days October 1st 2022 through October 31 2022 then test at a local CVS Minute Clinic. My Total Cholesterol is now 194, Triglyceride 45, HDL 93(even better than before), LDL 92. This achievement was done without exercising. I have recently started Power walking 1 mile a day as a start. Can't wait to share the new numbers with my Primary Care Physician in January. She will be so amazed . Thank You so very much Dr. Elizabeth Klodas.”

“I started this program in September and just received my cholesterol results. 9 weeks on the program minus 1 week for being on a cruise and my total cholesterol went down by 39, from 229 to 190! LDL went from 142 to 104, HDL (good cholesterol) went up from 68 to 71 and Triglycerides from 107 to 82. My doctor was totally impressed and plans to recommend to other patients based on my results. I have been unsuccessful at getting my numbers down on my own and did not want to be put on a statin. Started looking for a weight loss program and found Step One Foods. It has been a game changer for me. It has helped give me the ambition to try and lose weight now. I am so excited by the results! Thank you so much for this program.”

“I started using your products in July of this year. When I started this journey my total Cholesterol was 265, LDL 160, HDL 81, Non HDL 184 and my triglycerides 119. I was concerned as my father had several heart attacks and passed away after a massive one. My brother, also had a heart attack. I was concerned that I may be the next one in the family. But my numbers as of 10/27/2022 clearly shows a big improvement. Total Cholesterol - 151 LDL - 66 HDL - 66 Non HDL - 85 Triglycerides 108 I went to my doctor today for my annual exam and she was astonished. So I told her about your Step One Foods. I just want to say, "THANK YOU" and I will continue using your product and will advocate your product to everyone that I know. This is by far a great product!”

“I have not had a cholesterol reading under 200 in years and my last test was up to 261. I thought I'd give Step One a try and ordered the starter pack. Had the blood test 30 days later and dropped to 195! My doctor is very happy. A side benefit I wasn't expecting is that the patches of red, dry & itchy skin I used to deal with on my elbows cleared up entirely! Thanks for the help and I plan on sticking with this.”

“I didn’t want to go back to prescription cholesterol-lowering medication as I usually get undesirable side effects from them. When I heard about Step One Foods and that their foods are evidence-based to lower cholesterol I jumped on it! I just got my wellness exam and lab results and am excited to share that my total cholesterol went down 33 points and my LDL went down by 25 points! :)) I’m going to stay on the foods indefinitely for both the health benefits as well as the taste and convenience. Thank you for giving us the best alternative to improve cardiovascular health!”

“January 2022 my doctor suggested I start a statin. I was a bit surprised. Along with diet and exercise, I began taking Cholesoff and redid labs 3 months later. My results: Total Cholesterol- 225 increased to 234; Triglycerides- 99 increased to 155; HDL- 68 increased to 75; LDL decreased from 137 to 128. I was disappointed with the increased numbers but the lower LDL allowed me not to start the statin. My doctor ordered labs to be redone in 6 months. This was in May 2022 and the same month I had seen an ad for Step One Foods. I ordered the starter kit and began my journey June 30,2022. 6 months later I redid my labs. My new results: Total Cholesterol decreased from 234 to 206, LDL decreased from 128 to 112, HDL decreased from 75 to 70, triglycerides decreased from 155 to 125. I was very happy to see these results. For the starter kit, I did the two products per day. I was finding this too filling. On my second order I did one product for breakfast or snack and the Cholesteroff after dinner. During the last 6 months, I've made gradual adjustments to my diet which now focuses on Mediterranean, whole unprocessed foods. I am inspired to continue my journey towards better health. Thank you Step One Foods for being a part of my journey!”

“I started on Step One Foods in February thinking I would give it six months. I love the products, the blogs and how it makes me feel. I feel I was eating healthy before but this seems to be a good way to make sure. I have not yet had my cholesterol checked but will in Jan and am looking forward to sharing the numbers. Coming from a family of heart problems I look forward to learning more from you and in the meantime enjoying your products!”

“My LDL was 214 in February 2022. I took Crestor 20 mg with not a lot of improvement. I started Step One Foods 2 months ago and my LDL is 82 and HDL 64. I have also lost 7 pounds since starting these products. I turn 62 in a few days and am excited about these products to help me age healthier.”

“After 30 days, I re-tested. All my numbers went down. Total cholesterol was 216 (on meds), down to 197. HDL was 90, down to 86, LDL was 126, now 111. I wasn't perfect with getting in 2 of the foods everyday, I would say 85 to 90% of the time I did follow 2 per day. Hoping that I will be able to stop taking the medication if my results continue to improve. Thank you for coming up with products that work and taste good. So far, I have liked all but 2 of the bars. The pancakes, sprinkle and oatmeal are my favorite.”

“I had bloodwork done 5/19/2022. Cholesterol-170 LDL - 100 HDL - 49 Triglycerides- 111 I started using Step One twice a day on 8/23/2022. Here are my results from bloodwork 9/23/2022: Cholesterol- 99 LDL - 38 HDL - 46 Triglycerides - 69 I plan to use the products more and more to keep the progress moving. Thank you for developing the line of products that work!”

“My first review after 3 months of use was very good results. Now after nearly a year using Step One Foods, my results are incredible! Total cholesterol went from 227 to 124. LDL went from 150 to 87. Non-HDL went from 164 to 82. A year ago my doctor wanted to put me on statins and I decided to try step one foods instead. The program worked for me. I included moderate exercise and a healthy balanced Mediterranean diet. My favorites are the sprinkles on oatmeal and salads, pancakes, and the dark chocolate crunch bars. As a bonus I lost 6 pounds and am at what I consider to be my ideal weight. I am so glad I found this program!!!!”

“I used the Step One thirty day suggested diet to lower my LDL score. My score at the start was 123 mg/dl. Thirty days later the LDL score was 93 mg/dl. Folks I'm here to tell you it works! I also walked at least one mile each day.”

“I have watched my numbers steadily rise, yet I hesitate to use statins. In order to try to lower the numbers, I began using the Step One foods. After three months use, My LDL cholesterol dropped 9 points, and my triglycerides dropped 177 points. Awesome!”

“My cardiologist said I needed a statin drug, but after seeing the side effects on my mom I did not want to. I was so happy when I learned about step one foods and that it was developed by a cardiologist. My LDL went from 142 to 111 and my total cholesterol from 232 to 198. I love the blueberry oatmeal, the pancakes, the smoothie and the cranberry nut bar. So easy to eat two a day and still eat regular food, not feeling deprived at all. I love the suggestions that are sent out and recently enjoyed watching what a cardiologist eats in a typical day. The customer service is phenomenal. Thanks Step One!”

“I went for my annual wellness appointment and my cholesterol was at 210 and and the LDL was at 138. My doctor said it's high enough I should be put on cholesterol medication. I asked for 6 months to try to get it down it down with diet and exercise. I ordered Step One and started taking 2 a day. 4 months later I had it checked. My cholesterol was down to 172 and my LDL was down to 97. I no longer need to go on cholesterol medication! Thank you Step One!”

“Although healthy, with no other risk factors, I've always had a high cholesterol level. My doctor said it was hereditary, and there was nothing I could do. Weight, blood pressure and blood sugar have always been healthy. Thought I'd give Step One Foods a try. My cholesterol went from 260 down to 211! And my LDL went from 182 to 134. Incredible! The healthy and natural foods have no sodium, taste delicious. And they work!”

“I am so very impressed with these products. I've been having issues with very high cholesterol for a few years and thought I could control it on my own with diet and supplements. I sadly realized that I couldn't. I heard about Step One on WCCO News and I ordered the starter pack. I was only halfway into the program when I needed labs drawn. Was amazed at the results, as was my doctor. My LDL, HDL and cholesterol ratio were all in the normal range, after being so bad that I was recommended multiple times to start taking a statin. I'm so happy I took a chance on Step One foods. It's now part of my everyday routine. I recommend it to everyone I encounter that tells me they have high cholesterol. Step One really works!!”

“I have been on statins for 10 years. My cholesterol has steadily increased the past few years. After 30 days on Step One my cholesterol went from 240 to 179, my HDL from 88 to 61, my LDL from 136 to 93 and my Non HDL Cholesterol from 152 to 118. I was absolutely amazed!”

“So excited to share that in less than 1 year my Cholesterol has gone from 221 to 168 using Step One Foods!! I couldn’t believe it & asked the nurse if they were sure! I typically eat either the oatmeal with fresh blueberries & strawberries OR Sprinkles over yogurt also with fruit for breakfast every day. I enjoy one of the snack bars in the afternoon for a snack. And that’s it! Food is delicious so it’s really quite easy! Highly recommend!”

“So I just got my lipids labs done today (6/15/2022) and have been on Step One Foods (twice per day) for 5 weeks. My Total Cholesterol is down 46 points and my LDL cholesterol is down 39 points from my lipids test in February 2022! It really worked for me! I am going to stay on it and see how far it can reduce. My husband is now on Step One Foods, too. Thanks for such a great product!”

“My cholesterol has been high ever since I went to s doctor. I was shocked I had been to different doctors and not one of them ever told me my cholesterol was high. Seriously, I never heard about it. I was young and busy with five children. I was put on a Statin. I went to a new doctor who Is now my primary. He told me i had to get it down or I would have a heart attack. At the time my cholesterol was 278. I never ate the right foods and I was a Coke aholic. Never ate right foods. Not that I ate a lot. Between working and dealing with my five children I never seemed to watch what I was eating. At one point it was 156. Then on next check up 6 months later it would be higher. Long story short I have never been a big eater. I used to smoke but gave that up 35 years ago. I still ate junk. Drank coke and just ate unhealthy foods. Well now I'm 77 years old have had two lung cancer surgeries. Not pretty. Then wound up with mild COPD. I have never been able to gain weight. Can't gain weight on junk. Then I started reading stories on people who have high cholesterol. At the time my cholesterol was close to 200. They were saying how the saw people with same problem Abdul they were eating Step One Foods. So I purchased some of Blueberry oatmeal and chocolate bar. Then Sprinkkes and strawberry shake. So I chose the cereal and the chocolate bar. I ate them twice a day. Last visit with my doctor was in my and I'm pleased to say that my cholesterol went down by 27%. My doctor even sent me a congrats note. I have stopped drinking Soda and I mainly eat plant based foods. I also havd cooked a delicious Roasted Red Pepper Pasts dish. It was a Vegan dish. I'm going to get back to my walking now that weather is nicer. What I need to do now is find foods that will put weight on. I am not a candy person but I do love my coke. Is it bad to have one coke a week. I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing. I just need recipes for food I can eat.”

“I did a 30 day trail of Step One starting May 8, 2022 - along with some dietary changes and increased walking excercise starting April 1, 2022 after a breast cancer diagnosis and high cholesterol readings Dec. 2021. I was down 57 points - 286-229 total cholesterol reading - LDL dropped 58 points 203-145! Very impressed with rapid results and so motivated to continue adding to my diet along with less meat, and more walking!”

“I waited for 2 months after starting Step One to check my cholesterol because I skipped 10 days while on vacation. Total cholesterol went from 221 to 181. That is 18% reduction! LDL went from 140 to 103 which is a reduction of 26%. Triglycerides went down 21 points. I am thrilled because I cannot tolerate statins and I have tried everything advertised to lower cholesterol including dieting. I have not eaten dairy, meat or eggs for 2 years and nothing changed until I tried One Step. I love the products too especially the smoothies for summer! Thank you so much.”

“My doctor shared information about this product with me, which was shared with her by another patient. I tried it for 30 days and was very pleased with the results. I liked the food because it was convenient and I wasn't hungry. I also noticed I felt "even" all day, if that makes sense; no hunger pangs or highs or lows. My digestion system seemed happier too. I am online today to write a review and order more. Happy to be eating healthy!”

“I started my Step One Foods journey on 4/25. After 30 days I compared lipid test from 4/1 to 5/25 and was pleasantly surprised with the results. My total cholesterol improved by 23 points, LDL improved 22 pts, HDL improved 5 points, and Triglycerides 30 points. The overall products were very palatable, and well packaged”

“I am sharing my testimony since starting Step One Foods 2/22/2022, ate more of a Vegan diet, and started exercising more regularly. 2/26/22 5/20/22 Cholesterol 226 229 Down 13% HDL 84 79 Excellent LDL 165 139 Down 16% Non HDL 178 150 Down 16% Triglycerides 66 57 Normal I have a family history of hyperlipidemia and heart disease. For the past three years my doctor kept trying to get me to start taking a statin to reduce my total cholesterol and LDL levels. I told my doctor I was going to try diet and exercise first because I did not want to risk experiencing negative side effects associated with statin drugs. He told me I could try, but it probably wouldn’t work. He also refused to recheck my bloodwork in 3 months to find out if the Step One Foods were having a positive effect, so I changed to a provider that supported my choices to embrace preventive health and holistic health for improved health outcomes. A fellow nurse looked up options for me and sent me information about Step One Foods. As a registered nurse, I was so excited to read about Dr. Klodas and her dedication as a cardiologist to use preventive health as a treatment option. I was also motivated by the Mayo Clinic & University of Manitoba studies and reading the testimonials. I purchased the Step One Foods Starter Pack on 2/22/2022, ate more of a vegan diet, and started exercising at least 5x week. Less than 3 months later, my total cholesterol level is down 13% and my LDL level is down 16%. Awesome!!!! I am thrilled with the results. My new provider is thrilled with my results and told me to “keep doing what I am doing”. Here is how I use Step One Foods: I start every morning either with blueberry & cinnamon oatmeal or the whole oats & walnut pancakes in the mini waffle maker. So delicious and the serving size keeps me satisfied for several hours. Then I eat either a dark chocolate walnut bar, apple cinnamon bar, cranberry pecan bar, or strawberry banana smoothie mix for an afternoon snack. I also love to use strips of red or orange peppers to dip into hummus with the Anytime Sprinkle. All the Step One Foods are so delicious and satisfying. Thank you so much Dr. Klodas for creating this line of foods to give people of choice in their own healthcare!”

“I cannot tolerate statins. They make me hurt all over especially my legs.I have had consistently high familial cholesterol for years. My doctor's words were at least my numbers had gone down. September 2021 Total cholesterol was 312 HDL 59 Triglycerides 146 LDL 223 March 2022 Total Cholesterol 282 HDL 66 LDL 194 Triglycerides 106 I have NOT changed my diet, but do see the need to lose weight to further help with my numbers. I started this program with many doubts and after this test, I'm sold. My blood pressure which usually goes up the minute I step into a doctor's office was also lower. I let myself run out of product, and will not do so again. Thank you for a great product.”

“I started Step 1 Foods about a year ago. High cholesterol runs in my family, and other family members are on Statins and seeing results, though those results seem to be limited. Just today, I had my annual biometric screening, and I am still in shock to see that my total cholesterol went from 337 to 152. That's a drop of 185 points! I'm still looking back an forth to see if I'm misreading something. I will continue to use Step One Foods to maintain my success! Thank you so much for your product; I can't believe how easy it is, and I can't seem to stop telling others! Thanks so much for developing these products, Dr. Klodas! (and right here in the great state of Minnesota!)”

“I'm 87 years old and have never felt better. Blood pressure is going down and I am never hungry! I also lost 17 lbs and that was not my intention but extremely welcome! I've only been on it for four months.”

“I started Step One Foods in late January of 2022. It has now been 4 months and I had my lipids rechecked today- 5/5/22. ALL of my lipids improved greatly - Cholesterol down 48 points, LDL down 46 points!!! Not only that but my blood pressure that has been 140-160/90-100 range for 30 years is now completely normal 115-125/70's. I truly don't even know how to say thank you! I am very sensitive to medications and am only able to take pediatric doses of most medications - so to be able to get my lipids and blood pressure under control with 2 step one foods per day has been nothing less than amazing. Thank you so much for this program. I feel so blessed that I found this program. No Statins for me!!”

“My Dr. told me that he wanted me to take a blood test in 6 months if my numbers did not improve he wanted to put me on Satins. I took Satins before and they hurt my muscles, therefore I stopped taking them. I am 69 years old. I saw an ad on face book for Step One Foods, supposed to be alternative to Satins. I placed and order and received Step one foods on Jan 6, 2022 and started taking two foods a day up until day before blood test 4/25/22. I took Step One Food for 3 months and 20 days. Below is blood test results. 10/23/21 4/26/22 Cholesterol Baseline Results Total 225 170 Down 55 Points LDL 148 87 Down 61 Points HDL 41 36 Not sure why that went down Triglycerides 179 235 Dr. did not know why this number went up, makes no since the other numbers went down. Dr. said it was weird. Glucsoe 107 92 The only comment Dr. made was that I was on the right track. He never asked what I did to to get my Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol down. Never in my life have Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol numbers dropped so much. I would be lucky if my cholesterol dropped down 2 or 3 points. This Dr. knows that I have been going to him for years. I believe he really wanted to put on Satins but could not because Cholesterol dropped so much. I am switching to another Dr. Also I noticed on Lab report stated Blood sample was slightly hemolyzed. It stated the same thing on Lab report done in Oct. Blood sample is collected at Dr's Office. I wonder if the blood sample was sitting around too long before it went to the Lab. Perhaps that would explain the crazy Triglycerides number. My favorite food is Pancakes, I put one egg in it, because I wanted more protein. I use frozen blueberries and Strawberries, place a small amount of each in a dish, microwaved it for 1 minute. I prefer frozen berries, rather than fresh, because when you microwave frozen berries you get blueberry juice. than I pour on top of pancakes and I add walnuts on top of pancakes. I going to continue using this program to try to get Triglycerides Lower, and try to raise HDL number. Also I want to lose more weight. The weight is coming off very slowly. I lost about 20 lbs. I actually lost more inches than pounds.”

“I have been on Step One bars for 3 months. My new doctor recommended Step One because I refused to take statins due to hair loss and leg pain. My LDL dropped from 198 to 144 and I lost 10 lbs. Also I increased my exercise regimen and changed my eating habits. After years of worrying about my cholesterol levels, this is the first time I feel relief. Thank you Step One for producing a healthy product that works!”

“My total cholesterol has been borderline high (241-261) for quite a few years. Thinking that it was genetic and no hope but statins, I stumbled on this program. I had just lost 35 pounds with weight watchers over 10 months and no movement on the total Cholesterol. My last labs noted total Cholesterol at 241. I had nothing to lose so I ordered the started Step One products. I was good(mostly) about the twice daily product while still on Weight Watchers. I kept this up for 2 months. My labs drawn just after 2 months showed positive results. Total Cholesterol is at 214! With Weight Watchers I am only down another 7 pounds since starting the Step One program.”

“I stared this program 12weeks ago. I wanted to check my results at the end of my first 30 days, because of a series of problems and miscommunications with my cardiologist office I was not able to. I am thrilled to report that I finally got my labs done yesterday. My total cholesterol is down 42 points!!!! 😃. I still have 36 points to go to reach my goal but with this program I feel I’m heading in the right direction! FINALLY!!”

“I've been eating Step One foods for two months now as directed and just had a huge drop in my cholesterol levels. I'll let the numbers speak for themselves ;--) Cholesterol 247 down to 206, HDL 41 to 39, LDL 174 to 138, Non HDL 206 to 167, Tri 159 to 143.....THANKS!!!!”

“I ordered my first Step One Foods Starter Pack subscription after seeing a FB post on my newsfeed, specific to WDAY 6 in MN doing a feature story about this cholesterol lowering food developed by a MN medical doctor. Since we lived in MN most of our adult lives, even though we currently live in the south, this caught my attention. I have had high cholesterol labs for the past five+ years, even though I walk 4 - 6 miles of mountain trails 5 - 6 times per week and eat mostly healthy balanced meals. My last three consecutive years of high cholesterol lab results were over 300, even though I have been intentional about trying numerous supplements recommended specifically to lower cholesterol, along with exercise, diet, etc. I knew I needed additional assistance, as I did not want to be prescribed statins. Today I received my first lab results since starting my Step One Foods Starter Pack subscription in December 2021. My cholesterol is down from 302 to 262. I am absolutely thrilled and will continue to work on my cholesterol levels with Step One Foods! My Triglycerides went from 91 to 102; HDL from 88 to 75; and LDL from 196 to 167. I am thrilled, thankful, and wanted you to know! Abundantly blessed and thankful!”

“I decided to give this a try after my latest cholesterol results. I was at 203 total, my doctor wanted me to do something to bring it down. I ordered step one and ate it twice a day for 30 days as instructed. At the end of the 30 days I have my cholesterol checked again and it is down to 170! I cannot believe I dropped it 33 points in one month. The food is very good, and this works.”

“After 6 weeks of eating Step One Foods my cholesterol is down! Prior to eating Step One Foods,my cholesterol lab values were slowly creepy up over several years. A day of reckoning came. Nov,19,2021 my Total cholesterol was 253 and flagged "high". LDL was 172 also flagged "high". I started Step One Foods early February 2022. In March, I went to the local laboratory and purchased my own cholesterol and lipid blood test just to see if I was on the right track and if the food was helpful. On March 10, 2022 My total Cholesterol was 219! Yay. LDL 131 Yay. I am on the right track and plan to continue with Step One Foods. Thank you for making this plan easy and keeping me off statins.”

“I started the Step One 30-day Challenge on January 11, 2022. By February 9, I had the following results: Total Cholesterol from 208 to 202; LDL from 135 to 126; HDL from 55 to 57; Tryglycerides from 81 to 90; Glucose from 111 to 105. Thank you Dr. Klodas for developing Step One Foods. I look forward to seeing how my numbers are in 6 months.”

“The last 10 years or so I have struggled to keep my total cholesterol below 200 even with a healthy diet. Part of that time I was Vegan and my numbers didn’t improve much. In the fall of 2021 my Total Cholesterol was 189, HDL 44, LDL 121 and Triglycerides 122. My doctor doctor didn’t like the the LDL being so high stating that it ideally should be below 100. He of course recommended medication to reduce the cholesterol. I was very against it. I decided to research specifically how to reduce my LDL by adding different foods or changing what I eat. That’s how I found Step One Foods. I read the testimonials and it all sounded good. But you know what thy say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I decided to try it because it made sense to me. I started with the Step One products the first week of January 2022 and took my blood test the first week of March 2022. I decided to try it for about 60 days because I didn’t believe it would work in 30. New test numbers: Total Cholesterol is now 157, HDL 37, LDL 99 and Triglycerides 117. Very very happy.”

“Trying to avoid statins, I found this website, and I decided to give it a chance; to my surprise, you can see the numbers in the picture. I also lost 10lb by eating less sugar and carbs. Step one breakfasts and snacks are delicious, and it is nice when you don't have to think much about what to have for breakfast. I love the variety too.”

“I have had higher cholesterol and LDL for many years and have avoided going on meds. It seems my parentage struggles with having high bad cholesterol and low good cholesterol. In Nov 2021 my numbers were even higher than they had been over the last many years and I was finally determined to try to change numbers before my doctor gave me no choice but meds. In doing my research I stumbled upon Step One Foods. I decided that it might be right for me because it was natural and it was simple to use. Just my style.... My doctor would not order follow up lab work for three months. Well here we are and after three months I am very happy with my results. Nov. 2021 Feb 2022 Cholesterol 259 192 HDL 38 38 LDL 195 133 Triglycerides 129 107 ALT high normal weight down 10 lbs. All this with no other changes in life style. I used Step One Foods twice a day faithfully for the first 5-6 weeks. Then I used it once or twice a day up to the time of the February lab test. I am convinced this is right for me. I just placed another order. My two favorite things are the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and the Blueberry Oatmeal. Thank you Step One and Dr. Klodas for making this a prescription free, simple and flavorful solution.”

“I have never had such a positive result from a product in my life. After reading so many success stories I decided to give Step One Foods a try as I had borderline, high, cholesterol. 6 months in, I had lab work done. I was literally shocked when I got my results back. I cut my LDL in half, 166 to 86 and all of my other numbers went to the normal range. Believing that certainly the lab had mixed up my specimen, my doctor confirmed, my numbers were correct and normal. She was as shocked as I was. Of course she believes it was from the Statins I was taking and wanted me to stay on them. I decided no, I'm going to go 6 more months Statin free and check my results again later. I am ever so grateful to the creator of this product. It makes my life so much easier and healthier. It seems too simple to be true!”

“My cholesterol has been high for years. I am a small person who eats pretty well and walks for exercise. I am 64 years old. My mother also had high cholesterol so I figured it was genetic and not necessarily amenable to changes I could make. I have always refused Statins but my latest lipid panel was so bad I agreed to a small dose. The day before I went to pick up my prescription a friend sent me a link to StepOne Foods. I decided to try it tho I couldn’t believe one month could make a difference. In that month my Total Cholesterol went from 304 to 153, my LDL from 210 to 164, my Non HDL from 225 to 176 and Triglycerides from 73 to 61. I am so thrilled that I could do this without meds. I will continue with StepOne foods which are delicious and I really enjoy !”

“I have tried EVERYTHING to avoid statin drugs. Recently my CRP jumped from 1.8 to 4.5 putting me at a much greater risk for a heart event. Given my familial heart history and age my doctor insisted on the drugs. I had already started the Step one foods and was about 3 weeks in - my Doctor added Crestor. I had to go to the hospital for a scan and they decided to run a kidney function before the scan - apparently there was a standing Cholesterol Screening on file so they did that as well - much to my surprise my Cholesterol had gone from 251 to 183!! I had only been on the Crestor (20Mg) for 5 days so we know that the STEP ONE products are the primary reason that the Cholesterol dropped. I will also say I had switched to a completely Mediterranean diet when I started the STEP ONE products. I plan to stay on the STEP ONE in hopes of protecting my health and heart - I'm hoping that I can truly reverse any damage my poor eating, lack of regular exercise, and genetics have caused. Thank you for giving me a "clean" alternative.”

“I have not had great success with statins, the side affects were ugly. My doctor wanted me to go back on them because my numbers were going up. After my November exam I said, “Let me think about it.” I purchase Step One foods. The representative called me and when she found out I had hyperlipemia, she honestly told me it may not be successful for me since my body automatically makes cholesterol. I appreciated that. This system is designed for healthy people looking to bring their numbers down but I was willing to try this over medication. I got the foods the middle of December and I’ll admit I wasn’t diligent in eating twice a day every day. Yet even in that, a significant change in my numbers was seen in my test. My Primary was about to suggest a statin but when I told him how I got to the numbers he saw, he decided to wait and let me continue with Step One, to see how much lower my numbers could go! Thank you for providing a natural way to care for your health! Oh! I’m also ten pounds lighter! Nice 💜”

“I just got a message in My Chart from my Dr’s nurse. He wanted me to know my Cholesterol #s are going down.”

“I am 55 years old and have always had normal cholesterol until my doctor urged me to eat Keto to lose some weight. My LDL skyrocketed from eating keto. After getting the results I started to eat Step One Foods once a day and changed my diet to low fat/high carb and within 30 days my LDL cholesterol had dropped 60 POINTS and my total cholesterol dropped 68 POINTS. Now my cholesterol is back in the normal range. Thank you so much for your products. They really work and work quickly!!”

“I am so happy I found Step One Foods. I have heart disease and have been on statins for years. At my last cardiology appointment October 2021 my cholesterol wasnt bad but the doc wanted to see the LDL below 70 because of my heart disease. It was at 74 at the time. He wanted to increase my statin dose but I wanted to try to lower it without the increased dosage. I had read about Step One Foods and decided to give it a try. I wasnt sure how much success I would see since I only needed to see a drop of 4 points. I started on the Step One plan on 1/1/2022. I faithfully ate 2 a day. My blood work was done on 1/31/22. Success!!! Total cholesterol down from 188 to 153. LDL down from 74 to 62. Triglycerides down from 115 to 111. HDL at 61. So happy! Just ordered my next order. THANKS!!!”

“I'm a believer! Last January (2021) at my annual physical appointment my cholesterol was 282 with an LDL of 195. My dr prescribed lipitor. I don't want to take any meds but took it about half the time throughout 2021. I also started replacing my snack at work (I'm a nurse working 12 hour nights) with Step One. This January my results were 177 cholesterol and a 94 LDL. I thought the results were pretty dramatic. Then I saw an article on Medscape confirming the Step One results. In 2022 I'm dropping the lipitor and keeping up with the step one. I'll check back in 2023! Thank you!”

“My overall cholesterol peaked last year at 275 and triglycerides were through the roof at 379. I added Step One to my diet and also made moderate adjustments leading toward a Mediterranean style of eating. After 30 days, my numbers are tremendously improved! Overall cholesterol is down to 201 and triglycerides are at 197. Still some work to do but holy moly what a difference. The best part is I feel it in my energy level, mood, and brain clarity. THANK YOU Step One foods for making this delicious and easy.”

“My update is not the norm; however, for what it is worth . . . I try very hard to eat healthily. I went vegan (with very low sodium) approximately a year and a half ago to stop advancing kidney disease. It worked, also lowering my cholesterol. My kidney function is now also normal; however, I have had difficulty finding snacks with even low sodium much less no salt. So, that is the first reason I purchased your products. As stated above, I do not currently have high cholesterol; however, my good cholesterol is not high enough. So that was a second reason I purchased your products. Finally, the bonus. After a bout with COVID in addition to eating vegan and trying to get all of my vitamin levels taken care of, I started losing my hair. Once my vitamin B12 and A levels were up my hair started growing back, but the texture was dry and just awful. After a month on the Step One bars my hair became normalized and feels soft again. When I looked up what vitamins would make my hair soft, I found out that it would be Omega 3's and specifically flax seed oil. Win, Win, Win. (I go to the doctor in 2 months to check my cholesterol. I will let you know regarding my levels of good cholesterol. I have a base reading from the last month.) Once again thank you for your products.”

“Just want to share that year over year my cholesterol has dropped from 229 to 188. I have used Step One foods for three months, two 30-day periods of two per day and one month of occasional use. Today's 188 result shines and is my lowest in years. I also adopted a low sodium focus and have increased exercise. I think with Step One on my side I can keep going in the right direction. Thank you so much. I will place another order soon”

“After 2 stents my heart doctor told me I had to get my cholesterol down. He was shocked at the new numbers. He asked me what I did. I told him about Step One products which was the only change in my life style.”

“I was quite shocked after a visit to my doctor in September of 2021 to hear that my total cholesterol was 262 and triglycerides were 259. I remembered seeing an ad for Step One Foods on Facebook, and because I didn't want to go on medication, I decided to try Step One instead. I am so very pleased to announce that my total cholesterol, after 4 months, is down to 220 and triglycerides are down to 193. I use the Sprinkles every morning in yogurt and have the dark chocolate crunch bar for dessert in the evening. I am now on automatic delivery. A big thank you to Step One.”

“After having 4 stents placed in my arteries on August 5th of 2021, i started eating Step One Foods twice a day and brought down my cholesterol from 220 to 99 in just two months. I also followed the Palio diet. At age 72, I feel great!”

“Had a bit of a wakeup call when I visited my doctor for my annual exam in December, 2021. My cholesterol and lipid panel results were quite surprising to me. I started Step One foods and, even with all the holidays, I was able to stay on the program. I requested a repeat lipid panel at the 30 day mark and I am excited to say that my total cholesterol went from 256 down to 201! My LDL decreased by 47 mg/dl, triglycerides decreased by 20 mg/dl and my non-HDL decreased by 50 mg/dl. Back to a pretty normal lipid panel. (I also lost 6 pounds - in spite of all the holiday treats! Guess I was better than I thought!) I have found the food to be absolutely delicious and filling and I've started eating foods that I never even knew existed or were consumable (I thought chia was just to make chia pets)and they are good. I appreciate the information and support that StepOne provides and intend to make this my new normal for my lifestyle.”

“I have tried many products to reduce my Cholesterol. It still climbed year after year... I almost thought I would be taking the dreaded pill. My good cholesterol was good so they felt I was ok. I started on Dec 3, 2021 at 238, in about 3 weeks after starting Step one I have reached 191 on Jan 5, 2022.”

“After my annual physical in late August, my doctor wanted to put me on a statin. My total cholesterol was 227 and LDL was 150. I decided to try a nutritional diet change to reduce the numbers. I found good reviews of the Step One program and ordered various products in September. My doctor gave me 3 months to improve. I got my test results back last week and my total cholesterol was 179, down 48 points. My LDL was 117, down 33 points. My doctor was impressed with the results and told me no statins are necessary now. I will recheck in 6 months. I am so happy I found this program and enjoy the taste of all the varieties.”

“Hi: I'm age 71. On October 6, 2021 my total cholesterol was 229, HDL-C = 41 and LDL-C = 169 (the bad stuff). On Oct 15th, the doctor wanted to put me on a Statin. Instead, on Oct 22nd I began eating my Step-One Starter Kit and am enjoying the second order now, consumed as Dr Kaladas recommends but not perfectly. My next Lipid was not scheduled until April 2022 but I was anxious to see if Step One was working for me, so I convinced the doc to add lipid panel to my other bloodwork today. My 12/29/21 results, less than 10 weeks after starting Step One are: Total = 184, down 45 points, HDL 38, down 3 points, LDL 126 (the bad stuff), down 43 points!! And, oh by the way, I also lost 11 pounds over those 10 weeks and don't feel hungry or deprived. This eating plan is certainly working for me. I expect my doctor to be even more impressed (with the even better results in April) than I was today. Thanks Step One!!”

“So less than four months ago my Doctor wanted to put me on Satins and I said NO because I wanted to see if there was another way. Well after searching the Web I discovered Step One Foods and found it interesting so I tired it. Well my results have been incredible. My overall cholesterol went from 220 to 192 my good HDL went from 55 to 65 but the most Amazing result was my triglycerides went from 182 to 96 !!!! I have also lost about 10 pounds as an extra bonus plus my glucose went from 99 to 96. I have also started eating more nuts as my snacks and continue with my regular exercise. I am usually not one to put in a plug for a product or company but this stuff really works. It took me a while to find the food items that I like so don’t give up try the different products you won’t be sorry.”

“All numbers dropped from very elevated to only mildly elevated including LDL and the HDL is 38 up almost to normal at 40! Thanks Step one!”

“Where do I start, I'm not overweight nor have I ever been, but I've been struggling with High blood pressure for quite a few years, I've had 3 Calcium Score tests done the last one my score went up from 236 to 416 in two years I have followed a HFLC diet for the past 5 years and lately maybe I overdid it on the high fat specially pork products so my Cholesterol kept creeping up have in October of this year Total Cholesterol was 368 and LDL 279 so my Dr put me on Crestor and a week after starting on statins I started with Step One and I cut out all pork meat, so after one month of supplementing my meals with your products (I must note also that I eat only twice a day) I had my Cholesterol tested and it went down to Total Cholesterol 164 and LDL 84. Was it the results of consuming your products? Or the statins or the fact that I stopped eating pork or a combination of all 3,I do know for sure that I'll keep using the Step One snack bars because I have faith in them and I love their taste, I'll have further updates after I see my cardiologist because my Blood Pressure doesn't change, it is normal only in the mornings after I get up but the rest of the day is high and I blame it on the fact that I have some blockage on my arteries, thanks for a great product I'll keep you posted”

“Last year I had a high total cholesterol and a high LDL. My HDL was high, which is good and my ratio was excellent. The Doctor wanted to put me on statins and I resisted. Approximately, 2-3 months before I was tested again I was using the Step 1 foods. When I had a lipid test my total cholesterol was down 40 points and my LDL was down 47 points. Now I just used this product the last 2-3 months before I went in for my test so other factors may have played into my lower numbers but I am a believer in these products and will continue to use them. My doctor was impressed that layup numbers dropped so drastically. Thanks!!”

“For 3-4 yrs I've tried all kinds of diets to lower my cholesterol without much luck. I almost threw in the towel and started statins. I ran across step one foods and thought this is the last thing I will try and boy I'm glad I did. Dr. just called to say my total cholesterol dropped from 260 to 201. Thank you step one. No statins for me.”

“I really appreciate how Dr. Klodas cares for her customers like patients. For a 5+ month period from June thru Nov 2021, I enjoyed eating two Step One snack bars (peanut butter, chocolate walnut, or crunch) every single day. At the same time, I read and put into practice Dr. Klodas' blogs on studying food label ingredients, with an emphasis on whole grains, fiber and reduced sugars. Pleased to report that my goal to lower LDL and Total Cholesterol by 50 points each to under 100 and 200, respectively, has been achieved per recent bloodwork. I am very glad I came across Step One at the opportune time after my doctor had introduced the s-word (statins) to the conversation.”

“StepOneFoods indeed “stepped up” and provided the necessary discipline to work on my high cholesterol challenge. The right foods combined with a workable structure of eating did the job. Thanks StepOneFoods for changing my lifestyle approach to eating healthy.”

“I dreaded my wellness appointment for this year. I had put on 21 pounds since the same time last year and my cholesterol had been getting higher. I’ve read about people who lose weight , their cholesterol drops and they get pulled off medication. Not me. Mid-life my cholesterol was so high my friend would no longer work-out with me claiming I would die on her. So I lost 60 pounds and low and behold - my cholesterol went up! Then so did the statin dosage. A month before my appointment, I saw One-Step, thought I would give it try. Results are not a 30 day, but a 1 year comparison with a 21 pound gain….. Total cholesterol - 206 to 182 LDL (bad cholesterol) - 125.4 to 96.2 HDL(good cholesterol) - 69 to 73 I shared “One Step” With my doctor at our virtual appointment and was curious about perhaps trying it himself. He did say, as he was looking at on line, that it looked like it had good testing behind it. Then he asked about the taste of the pancakes 🤣. New blood-work in February to see where the level is then. He didn’t pull me from medication, but at least he didn’t increase the dosage. Who knows, that may change in February for the better. I’ll report back in February with the new results. And with the off chance of TMI, I am regular, like a person should be, and that alone is worth it to me.”

“It all started as a discussion with my niece. We both had high cholesterol, but did not want to use statins. She was telling me about the tempting snacks at work (gummy bears, granola bars, doughnuts, cookies...) and wanted a healthier alternative. I did an internet search and came across Step One Foods. We both decided to try it. So glad that we did! We both liked the variety available. She loved the Cinnamon Apple Bars and Anytime Sprinkles. I preferred the Dark Chocolate bars, the Oatmeal and and the Pancake mix. My niece found Step One products an easy alternative at work when she was in a hurry. Then came the results from my doctor ... After just 6 weeks of eating Step One products 2X a day, my total cholesterol went down 59 points (from 283-224) and my LDL went from 169 to 119. Without even trying, I also lost 12 pounds! My doctor was thrilled and said, "Just keep doing what you're doing!" With such great results, I recommended them to my sister. She has been diagnosed with diabetes, but wants to stay off insulin. She found that Step One Foods helped control her blood sugar and that she no longer had such strong cravings for sweets and simple carbs. So our entire family has benefitted from these products. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much for your product! I was hopeful based on the reports of others. I have been using Step One for just over one month. My LDL cholesterol went down 30 points!! I'm so grateful for this simple, healthy way to take care of my health. Thank you for your help! Can't wait for the next blood test!”

“Most excited about my HDL going from 37 to 46 and my triglycerides decreasing, from 175 to 112!”

“I completed my 30-day step with the plan provided and I just got retested for my cholesterol yesterday. I dropped a significant number of points and my doctor was very pleased. I was shocked at how much I really liked all the products (pancakes!, smoothies, bars) all very delicious. This has also kickstarted a healthier eating plan for my life. Who could ask for more plus all the resources and Dr. Klodas provides very insightful information on a regular basis. I love her weekly blogs. If you want to get healthy and lower your cholesterol this works incredibly well. So glad I found STEPONEFOODS.”

“My cholesterol increased after (knowingly) eating unhealthy for the past 9+ months. However my high cholesterol results (on Sept 7 2021) were still a little shocking. I told my dr I will not start statins & will make a diet & lifestyle change & start eating healthier. After reading the Step One testimonials, I was optimistic & excited to try the foods. After 50 days of healthier eating including incorporating Step One foods daily and continued my daily walking, these were my before/after results on my Oct 27th labs: Chol: 225 to 180 (45 point drop); LDL: 132 to 95 Non HDL: 154 to 114; Trig: 108 to 97 I have the delicious pancakes almost daily for breakfast with scrambled egg whites; a cranberry bar or chocolate crunch bar for an afternoon snack. The Oatmeal is also good but the pancakes are my fav!! Thank you Dr Klodas for developing these foods and program.”

“I just wanted to share my 30 day success. Total cholesterol down 28 LDL down 21 HDL down 3 Triglycerides down 8 I am so happy to find something that helps and actually works. Thank you Dr Klodas and Team!!!”

“Highly recommend. Great numbers compared from Labs in Feb 2021 with October 2021 Labs. Total cholesterol dropped from 270 to 228 in ~6 weeks on program! LDL dropped almost 50 points from 169 to 120 HDL & Triglyceride numbers (already good) improved (HDL +10 points; Triglycerides -21 points) My doc asked how the products taste… I told him I was overall pleased with flavour… there are sprinkles (like these the best) + dense bars, high fibre and easy to incorporate into meals for the day. Happy they aren’t horribly sweet like many energy bars. Worth the money (reasonable cost) if you are serious about making changes and not taking statins.”

“I love your product!!!! In one month, along with Metamucil twice a day and your product, my total cholesterol went from 282 to 210! My ratio went from 4.1 to 2.9. I was skeptical at first but the results speak for themselves.”

“Looks like I am having great success with your program ! Last year total cholesterol 171 this year 137 . Triglycerides 234 now 142 . LDL was 96 now 75 Non HDL was 131 now 98 cholesterol/HDL ratio was 4.3 now 3.5 All with really no changes to diet or medication except using One Step Foods twice day ! Thank you”

“In July my total cholesterol level was 200 been eating step one foods now for three months my total in October was 152 . I'm a true believer in step one foods.”

“Had normal cholesterol numbers until 2019 when started taking an estrogen inhibitor. As cholesterol numbers continued to increase my doctor would only discuss statins. Told doctor that I would not take statins due to side effects. Found One Step Foods and 4 months later: cholesterol 257 to 230, LDH 159 to 132 and A1C 6.2 to 5.6. Another bonus is the loss of 10 pounds. Understand my numbers better after reading Slay The Giant by Dr Klodas. Have an appointment with new doctor next month.”

“My doctor wanted to start me on statins for lowering my cholesterol in June, 2021. I did not want to add to my already pile of pills needed to keep my Parkinson's Disease under control, not to mention the fact that statins are notorious for attacking muscles as a side effect! Muscle health in a PD patient is critical! He said I could try other methods for 3 months, then get retested. In August, I happened to see Step One Foods on Facebook, listened to Dr. Klodas talk, and decided to give it a try...what could I lose? Without changing anything else, I began using 2 products a day on August 21. On October 11, I had my blood retested. My total Cholesterol went from 227 to 184, LDL from 143 to 109, HDL from 50 to 51, and Triglycerides from 171 to 118! Needless to say, I am a believer! Now my husband is going to give it a try so he can get off the statins. I am so thankful to have a natural choice to be healthy.”

“I was skeptical at first, but when I saw the results I was blown away. My doctor had informed me that if I did not get it down she would have to put me on statins and I refused to go down that path. I do not like pills and wanted to do something natural with results. Well I got it using StepOne Foods. I HIGHLY recommend. In little as 30 days my total cholesterol went from 251 to 220 HDL increased by 10 and LDL dropped by 40!”
