How Virta Health Is Reversing Metabolic Disease

"We are the leading telehealth provider clinically proven to reverse metabolic disease and we're working with patients across the spectrum of metabolic health," says Brittanie Volk, PhD, RD, of Virta Health. We caught up with Dr. Volk at the recent ADA Scientific Sessions to get the latest updates from Virta, a company that has been in the StartUp Health community since 2020.
🌟 Leading Telehealth Provider: Virta Health is the leading telehealth provider clinically proven to reverse metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
🥼 Personalized Remote Care: Every patient receives personalized care from a medical provider and a health coach, focusing on nutrition and continuous remote support.
📊 Evidence-Based Results: Virta's approach includes carbohydrate restriction and has shown significant success in clinical trials and real-world applications, with results like 30 pounds of average weight loss and 60% diabetes reversal after one year.
🧬 Scientific Foundation: The company's nutritional plan is based on decades of research by scientific co-founders Jeff Volek, PhD, RD, and Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD, focusing on personalized carbohydrate restriction.
