About Virta Health
Virta Health is a leader in metabolic disease reversal, specializing in type 2 diabetes reversal and sustainable weight loss through a personalized, nutrition-first approach. The company delivers virtual care through an easy-to-use mobile app that connects members with physicians, nurse practitioners, and health coaches who provide high-touch, individualized support. Virta's proprietary methodology, The Virta Method™, focuses on personalized nutrition tailored to each member's unique metabolism, emphasizing whole foods low in sugar and carbohydrates while incorporating healthy fats and proteins. This approach addresses the root cause of metabolic dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms. The platform includes continuous remote monitoring using connected devices like digital scales and blood glucose meters, along with AI-powered nutrition support called Virta Metabolic Intelligence that helps members understand how food choices affect their body and progress. Virta partners with employers, health plans, and healthcare providers across all 50 states to deliver transformative outcomes. The company's clinical results demonstrate an average weight loss of 31 pounds, 63% medication elimination rate among diabetes patients, and an average A1c reduction of 1.3 points at one year. Virta also offers integrated GLP-1 medication management as part of its comprehensive approach to weight loss and metabolic health. The company is on a mission to solve the nation's diabetes and obesity epidemics by making disease reversal—not just management—the new standard of care.
