Your health is still our mission

At Step One Foods your health is our mission. 

That’s not just a catchy slogan. It’s truly our north star. We exist to help you put nutrition at the very center of your health and healing journey. We exist because we think the way our health care system treats heart disease today (still the #1 killer, by the way) focusing mainly on medications that keep your numbers “healthy” and then recommending a little side dish of “diet and exercise” is completely backward.

That’s why we stand firm on the idea that we are more than just a food company. If we were just a food company, we wouldn’t spend so much time making sure you got the information you needed from us (whether via this blog or from our customer care team) — even if it has nothing to do with our products. Yes, we sell food — because it’s the easiest way for us to help you put the nutrients you need into your body —but our goal goes far beyond that. We also want to empower you with knowledge.

Every day we work toward the goal that (one day) every doctor prescribes food to their patients as the first step in managing cholesterol — even if just for those people who can’t or are reluctant to take statin drugs. Frankly, a dietary prescription should be the first step for EVERY condition where targeted nutrition support could have an impact.  

Thank you for supporting our mission and carrying it forward. We truly do exist to help and make a difference. And as we move into December, on behalf of all of us at Step One Foods, I send you our best wishes for the happiest – and healthiest - of holiday seasons ahead.

Warmly,

Elizabeth Klodas MD, FACC
