Genia Richardson's My Life My Health My Journey

Genia Richardson
Athens, Texas

I come from a large east Texas family and everybody loves to get
together and eat. Im a good ol Southern fried chicken-cookin kind
of girl. Ive been overweight since I was six years old. But until
recently, I had no idea that the food I was eating had made me very
sick. Dr. Kai Xia at Trinity Mother Frances diagnosed my condition as
fatty liver disease, a serious illness that can be life-threatening
if not treated. My diet played a big part in that—all those fried,
fatty foods. Ive been an RN for eight years and as a nurse I knew I
wasnt making healthy choices for myself. With Dr. Kais help, Ive
made a lot of changes in my lifestyle—eating right, getting some
exercise and losing weight. Dr. Kai genuinely cares about you.
