Meet Dr. Kat
Dr. Katina Richardson, MD
Board-Certified Family Medicine Physician
Founder, RITSA Health
- Medical Weight Loss
- Metabolic Health
- Obesity Medicine
Throughout her career, Dr. Kat cared for thousands of patients struggling with conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, and joint pain. Again and again, she saw a common thread: many of these conditions were closely tied to weight and metabolic health.
She also saw how often patients felt stuck. Despite working hard to improve their health, many felt frustrated, unsupported, and unsure where to turn next. Some were rushed through appointments. Others were told to simply "eat less and move more" without a clear plan or meaningful support.
Dr. Kat believed her patients deserved something better.
That's why she created RITSA.
The Problem
Weight loss deserves better care
Your health is more than a number on the scale.
Many people come to RITSA after years of trying to do everything right. They've followed diets. Started over countless times. Put everyone else's needs before their own.
Yet they're still struggling with their weight, energy, blood sugar, blood pressure, or confidence.
Dr. Kat saw these experiences every day in primary care — and knew patients needed more than another quick appointment or generic advice.
