Per serving
Unlike brands that rely on buzzwords and pseudoscience, Step One Foods is backed by a randomized, controlled clinical trial published in collaboration with Mayo Clinic. These are not funky powders. It is real food that really works.
Our clinical trial, conducted at Mayo Clinic and published in peer-reviewed medical literature, demonstrated statistically significant reductions in LDL and total cholesterol — in just 30 days.
Dr. Elizabeth Klodas spent 20+ years as a preventive cardiologist trained at Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins—prescribing medications, managing risk factors, hitting the numbers. Thousands of patients later, the pattern was undeniable: more drugs, more side effects, no cures. Her epiphany?
She wasn’t fixing what was making people sick.
The system rewards yet another prescription. Meanwhile, patients are surrounded by foods that quietly but relentlessly drive the very diseases that require all those drugs in the first place.
She envisioned a different approach—make food part of the solution.
And in conjunction with Mayo Clinic and the University of Manitoba she proved, decisively, that small dietary adjustments using targeted, precisely formulated foods can yield medication-level cholesterol reductions — in as little as 30 days.
Real outcomes from a peer-reviewed, free-living clinical trial of Step One Foods.
For those already on statins, adding Step One can provide that extra push to finally reach your target goal — without increasing your medication dosage.
No mystery. Here's the realistic timeline — what changes in your body, and when.
Two servings a day. Most people swap a typical breakfast and snack — no recipes, no calorie counting.
Steadier energy, less mid-morning hunger, and noticeably better digestion as fiber and omega-3 intake climb.
Recheck your LDL. In the Mayo Clinic trial, 80% of participants lowered LDL — by an average of 8.8% in 30 days.
Step One Foods was designed specifically for three groups that medications have failed.
Muscle pain, liver concerns, and other side effects make statins impossible for many patients — even those who need cholesterol support most.
Young or otherwise healthy individuals with abnormal cholesterol levels who prefer to try a food-first approach before committing to a lifetime of medications.
For patients already on the highest tolerated statin dose but still not at LDL goal, Step One Foods can provide meaningful additional reduction.
We never advocate that anyone stop or reduce their medications without first consulting their physician.
Rapid cholesterol lowering is merely the proof point. These foods deliver comprehensive cardiometabolic support — because food doesn't have side effects, just side benefits.
Clinically proven LDL reduction — the proof point of food's power.
Omega-3s and whole food fiber support healthy blood pressure levels.
Fiber-rich, low glycemic foods help improve glucose control.
Antioxidants from real whole foods combat chronic inflammation.
Nutrient-dense, satisfying foods that replace less healthy choices.
Essential prebiotic fiber nourishes beneficial gut bacteria.
These aren't testimonials about feeling better. These are real blood test results.

Dropped 42 mg/dL in 30 days
“I've tried everything — diet changes, exercise, supplements. Nothing moved the needle like this. The bars actually taste good too, which helps.”

Yes — it's designed to work alongside medication to help you reach your goal faster. Statins block cholesterol production. These foods impact cholesterol absorption, yielding additive/synergistic effects when combined with statins.
Most heart healthy labels mean nothing — they're marketing claims, not clinical results. Step One Foods is the only food brand with a published, peer-reviewed clinical trial demonstrating statistically significant LDL reduction.
No prescription required. These are foods — bars, granolas, nut butters — that you eat as part of your normal day. Two servings a day is all it takes.
