MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cardiologist Elizabeth Klodas, MD, FACC, and food industry veteran Barbara Birr today announce the launch of Step One Foods, the first-of-its-kind line of physician-formulated foods specifically designed to solve the biggest problem in heart care: eating right.
“Every physician knows how critical proper nutrition is for cardiovascular health. But they’ve also seen far too many of their patients fail at sustaining a healthy diet,” said Dr. Klodas, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Step One Foods. “As physicians, what we desperately needed was a simple and credible solution to recommend to our patients.”
All Step One Foods contain scientifically-proven levels of the four critical nutritional building blocks for heart health: phytosterols, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and fiber. Each product contains at least 407 mg of phytosterols, 791 µmol of antioxidants, 1,544 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, and 5 grams of fiber.
The Step One Foods product line includes dark chocolate bars, cranberry nut bars, oatmeal, a smoothie mix, a pancake mix, and an anytime sprinkle. Every product is pre-portioned and comes in a single-serve package requiring minimal to no preparation. Step One Foods contain no additives, chemicals, flavorings or colorings.
“Every ingredient in every product has a specific nutritional purpose and was chosen for its health-promoting properties,” said Dr. Klodas, “We developed Step One Foods to be a powerful new tool for physicians to utilize as the nutritional component of a comprehensive heart health plan.”
