About Our Founder
Rob Leighton founded Kardea as part of a personal mission to lower his own cholesterol.
At 47, Rob found himself moving from “border line” high cholesterol to outright high cholesterol. Rob notes that “it was not simply a matter of what I ate. It was a matter of genetics. Without medication, my mom’s cholesterol had exceeded 400mg/dl, and she found herself in early clinical tests for one of today’s leading cholesterol lowering medication.”
“I was not ready to start down a pharmacological road.” Rob recalls. Bringing a love of culinary creations and a belief in the science of natural cholesterol management, Rob founded Kardea to create great tasting, natural foods that enable daily compliance to heart healthy therapeutic nutrition.
