Discover the four building blocks of heart health.

Fiber

Found in foods like oat bran, flaxseed and dried fruit, fiber binds to cholesterol particles in the intestine and moves them out of the body.

Plant Sterols

Plant sterols - a group of substances made in plants such as nuts and seeds - block cholesterol absorption in the digestive tract.

Omega-3s

Omega-3s - essential fatty acids present in foods such as chia seeds, walnuts and flaxseed - reduce inflammation and help lower triglycerides while raising HDL (good) cholesterol.

Antioxidants

Found in foods like dark chocolate, berries and pecans, antioxidants help prevent the build-up of plaque in the blood vessels.

Real results. Real people.

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

My Favorite Step One Chocolate Bar!

I have tried the oatmeal, anytime sprinkles, peanut butter bars, cranberry pecan bars, chocolate walnut bars, apple cinnamon bars, and chocolate crunch bars. The apple cinnamon bars are my least favorite and The Dark Chocolate Crunch Bars are my favorite! If you like chocolate you will like these. In my opinion, the Peanut butter bars and chocolate walnut bars both have a more obvious fruit taste to them and I don't care for that taste with the chocolate or peanut butter bars. I have ordered from Step One for 3 months now. After the 1st month of eating Step One my total cholesterol number dropped by 30 and I lost 5 lbs and I have not been able to lose weight for over 8 years (I am 57). I also started intermittent fasting at the same time I started eating Step One Foods so it could be a combo of the two lifestyle changes. I will stick with ordering my 3 favorites- the oatmeal, anytime sprinkles, and chocolate crunch bars and see if my cholesterol decreases more at my 6 months recheck with my doctor-for now she agreed to not put me on statins until my next visit to see if the improvement continues.

Excellent and very rich

This bar took me a few days to get used to. It is very rich, and it has a really good texture. Out of all the food I need to replace, dessert is paramount. Dessert is always always always where I make the absolute worst choices. Like I will eat packaged cakes and really some of the worst foods for a person with high cholesterol. The chocolate crunch bar is an excellent replacement. I do not feel like I am deprived at all. I will continue to order.

OMG!!

I bought the starter pack to try Step One Products. My cholesterol has been 225 ish for years. I have purposely avoided statins. My weight is up & exercise has been down over the past 2 years related to the pandemic. After 1 month of using this product 2 times most days, I had a fasting blood test this week & my cholesterol was 191. Yay!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Step One Foods products were developed by a cardiologist and have proven effective through a clinical trial subject to the same standards as a pharmaceutical clinical trial. Every serving of Step One Foods contains the precise levels of key nutrients proven to help lower cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health. Learn more about our clinical trial here.

Studies have shown that a change in diet can yield a significant impact on cholesterol levels in as little as 30 days. Effects on overall blood sugar control and weight will take longer.

No, if you are currently prescribed a statin by your physician, you should not discontinue it unless you consult with them. To most accurately assess how Step One Foods is impacting your cholesterol, you should take your statin in conjunction with Step One Foods twice per day. After 30 days of consistent use, you can test your cholesterol levels; if there is improvement (or even similar readings) you and your healthcare provider can discuss adjusting your prescription.

Step One Foods products are highly nutritious and very satisfying. High fiber content, complex carbohydrates and healthful fats ensure slow digestion and lower, steadier blood sugar levels, keeping you feeling fuller longer. Our foods are also meant to be used as a substitution for something you were eating before, which typically represents a calorie reduction and may lead to weight loss.  And nearly all Step One Foods contain minimal to no sodium. Studies have shown that when you reduce sodium consumption and increase the intake of antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, you can attain significant blood pressure reductions.

We want you to be happy with our products and your results. If you don't enjoy one or more of your choices, we will gladly provide you with an exchange or a refund. Our guarantee applies to first time orders, or up to one month's worth of food cost.
