When that cholesterol of mine…

Went bat sh*t crazy…this old gal followed the typical treatment plan…aka statins…in six months the legs were numb…vertigo out of control…and body aches from here to tomorrow…

Went with a new plan…researched what to eat…how to eat…shopped for all those cholesterol lowering things…flax seeds…chia seeds…nuts…berries…avocados…

Twas cumbersome…hard to sustain…then what to my wondering eyes should appear…Step One Foods…products created by a cardiologist…taking the guesswork out of ingredients and portions…

Gave the products a try…everything researcher me had learned about lowering cholesterol aligned…and sure enough in one month the numbers went down 50 points…

Along with losing weight…building a healthy gut…reducing acid reflux…add now a non statin called Zetia and cholesterol that had been mid 300s is now 245…

The products are a little pricy…not gonna lie…but one often replaces supper…breakfast or the bedtime snack…

Not a fan of the chocolate ones…too bitter for sweet lover me…don’t care for the oatmeal either…but do love…

Smoothie mix…blended with blueberry juice, ice, yogurt and frozen blueberries
Sprinkles…on salads or with yogurt, berries and pecans
Fruit Bars…easy for on the go or with a cup of coffee
Nut Butter…current favorite…eat it on cut up apple pieces

Excitedly shared my success on a high cholesterol sight…got a butt chewing…this won’t work for hyperlipidemia…blah blah blah…too much sugar…too many carbs…blah blah blah…

Read Dr. Klodas’s blog and decide for yourself…it may not work for everyone but it worked for high cholesterol scared of having a heart attack me…

And that’s the reason she shares her story today…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
