Virta Health

Three years strong—and thousands of lives changed. We’re proud to partner with Banner|Aetna on a shared mission: not just to manage type 2 diabetes, but to reverse it. This is what happens when a health plan leads with innovation and puts members first. 💙

The evidence is clear: nutrition and lifestyle changes are essential—whether or not GLP-1s are taken for weight loss. Thank you to Hinge Health for spotlighting our CCO, Laura (Gilligan) Walmsley and the role of nutrition-first, clinically guided care in driving long-term outcomes. And thanks to Vikki Walton, Mercer, and Jeff Stanley MD for sharing your insights!

Big moment for Virta! Our CEO, Sami, represented Virta at the White House, where the administration launched a new Health Tech Ecosystem Initiative—focused on expanding digital health access with a spotlight on consumer impact. What this means: Virta’s model was highlighted as part of the future of accessible, outcomes-driven care. We were named one of the “60 most important health companies” in the room—a powerful signal as we scale our care to Millions of members and work to reach the 150M+ Americans who could benefit from better metabolic health. This wasn’t just visibility—it was recognition. We’re building trusted partnerships with Medicare, the VA, and major employers, and moments like this are critical to expanding our reach and impact. We’re here to change the narrative around metabolic health—with real outcomes and science-backed support. Let’s keep going. This moment matters. #VirtaHealth #MetabolicHealth #DiabetesReversal #DigitalHealth #HealthTech #HealthcareInnovation

Now that the FDA has ended its temporary allowance, many are left wondering what comes next. Dr. Jeff Stanley MD, Medical Director at Virta, puts it simply: “FDA-approved GLP-1s are much safer than compounded alternatives.” But switching isn’t always straightforward. • Doses may not match • Ingredients can vary • Side effects can increase without guidance 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿.

The data signals a growing crisis in youth metabolic health. And while the CDC’s updated methodology has raised some questions among experts, the overall trend is clear: ➡️ More kids are developing early signs of insulin resistance. ➡️ We’re not doing enough to prevent it. Prediabetes increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other long-term health issues. It's a wake-up call for parents, schools, and healthcare providers. ✅ Screen early (age 10+) ✅ Support a lower-carb, whole-food approach ✅ Shift the narrative from blame to action This isn’t just about data. It’s about our future.

Behind every number is a person. A life changed. A family healed. A future regained. We’ve helped over 100,000 people reverse type 2 diabetes. But millions more still need this care. We won’t stop until reversal—not just management—is the new standard. #VirtaHealth #ChronicCare #HealthcareInnovation #DiabetesReversal #ReversalNotManagement
