Joyce's Step One Success Story

Joyce C. has been a Step One customer since November 2021. After using Step One for two months, her LDL cholesterol improved by more than 40 points. Here’s Joyce’s story, in her own words.

I discovered ads for Step One Foods on Facebook. I took the time to read the information about how Step One is REAL FOOD. As I was reading about the benefits of Step One, I had my routine lab work done and it revealed another rise in total cholesterol. It had been gradually rising little by little over several years.

It was a day of reckoning for me. 

I did not want to consider going on a statin drug. I am a firm believer that diet has a direct impact on your well being. I wanted to prove to myself that I had control over my health by being mindful of the foods I put into my body. So, after reading the Step One Foods ads at least 7 times and reading their success stories, I decided to order the products and take action.

I made a decision to improve my cholesterol numbers so that I could maintain my heart health.

The interesting thing about the experience was my delight when I got my most recent lab values back. Since it was not “technically time” for me to get labs done, I purchased a lipid panel at the lab near me. It wasn’t expensive and it validated that I was on the right track.

Blood test before Step One Foods: 

Total Cholesterol: 253

LDL: 172

HLD: 58

Blood test after Step One Foods:    

Total Cholesterol: 219

LDL: 131

HLD: 62

Wow!

I was so pleased. I showed my husband the results and he started eating Step One also. My success is a demonstration to others that by making proper food choices, you can change your health. I plan to continue eating Step One Foods.

I have not shown the results to my PCP yet. I am due for a visit in 2 months. It will be so nice NOT to have a discussion about going on a statin drug. 

I am just so happy that I can participate in keeping my heart healthy. I have taken some degree of control over my own body by eating food that nature has given us. 

Thank you Step One Foods for creating this line of foods to benefit humanity.

Here’s how Joyce uses Step One Foods:

The bars are so convenient. I often have an apple bar for breakfast and then the dark chocolate walnut bar for an afternoon snack. My favorite products so far are the dark chocolate bar and sprinkles. The sprinkles are also so versatile. I find that the cranberry bars and sprinkles travel well. I took them on vacation with me recently. It was easy to eat the food twice a day. It was important for me to maintain compliance so I can continue to see amazing results. I have put the sprinkles in oatmeal and coconut based yogurt. I’ve also chopped up a bar and put it in coconut yogurt and that was really yummy.
