The status quo isn’t working. Traditional approaches to managing chronic conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and more have failed to stop costs from climbing or health from declining. With these conditions driving trillions of healthcare spend—we must do something different. Join us for a special conversation with leaders from Virta Health and Regions on the power of metabolic disease reversal. From cost savings and life-changing outcomes, you don’t want to miss it. Register now to save your spot. 👇 #MetabolicHealth #EmployerBenefits #HealthcareInnovation

Significant news from the White House last week: Millions of Medicare members will soon gain access to GLP-1s for obesity through new pricing deals. The announcement also teased the availability of lower-priced oral formulas, a change that would ripple through plans of all types. This is a win for members looking to access and afford these medications, but a major financial headwind for plan sponsors when demand surges. What now? Plan sponsors must act quickly to implement strategies that deliver both positive financial returns and lasting outcomes from added spend. This starts by pairing every GLP-1 prescription with an evidence-based nutrition and behavior change program. If you’re looking for a trusted partner in GLP-1 prescribing and deprescribing: Virta has been doing this for 10+ years. We’ve helped members sustain 85% weight loss a year after stopping the medication, and we’ve lowered costs for payers by cutting GLP-1 use for weight loss over 50% among current users. GLP-1s are a tool in the toolkit, but optimizing the spend requires a program like Virta. 👉 Join our experts as they unpack this news and what it means for plans on Wednesday, November 19: https://bit.ly/4p2BkWt

Big news from Virta at #ObesityWeek 2025 🎉 New real-world data show that Virta’s nutrition-first, telemedicine-supported care isn’t just improving health, it’s also driving major cost savings. 👉 Participants with obesity saw: • 60 fewer hospitalizations • 400 fewer PCP visits per 1,000 members annually • $243 PMPM reduction in total healthcare costs at one year A powerful reminder that food-as-medicine can transform both outcomes and costs. #VirtaHealth #ObesityWeek #OW2025 #Obesity #Telemedicine #DigitalHealth #RealWorldEvidence #TotalCostOfCare #CostSavings #NutritionFirst
Priya Shanmugam Virta will present new data at Obesity Week 2025 revealing major healthcare cost savings from its personalized nutrition-first therapy program. In a large, claims-based study, adults with obesity who participated in Virta’s carbohydrate-restricted nutrition therapy achieved substantial reductions in healthcare costs and utilization at one and two years. Participants experienced 60 fewer hospitalizations and 400 fewer brick-and-mortar PCP visits per 1,000 members annually, resulting in a $243 PMPM reduction in total costs at one year. These real-world findings highlight the potential for individualized, telemedicine-supported nutrition therapy to deliver meaningful clinical and financial benefits at scale—offering a powerful, nonpharmacologic strategy to address the growing burden of obesity.

Excited to see this work presented at Obesity Week 2025. Real-world data show the Virta Intervention delivers sustained 7–13% weight loss over four years — and that combining incretin therapies with Virta’s nutrition-first, continuous remote care model also drives meaningful results. Strong evidence for scalable, durable metabolic health solutions. Learn more 👇
Two new studies from Virta Health will be presented at Obesity Week 2025, highlighting the long-term and flexible impact of the Virta Intervention, a telemedicine-based approach focused on individualized nutrition and continuous remote care. In one 4-year real-world study of over 800 adults, participants achieved sustained weight loss of 7–13%, with greater adherence linked to larger and more cost-effective results, demonstrating a viable, nonpharmacologic pathway for long-term success. In a second study, adults participating in Virta’s new integrated program combining incretin mimetics (GLP-1/GIP therapies) with the Virta Intervention achieved substantial weight loss over six months, while those in the Virta Intervention–only pathway also achieved clinically meaningful results. Together, these findings underscore the power of personalized, continuous remote care to support durable and scalable weight loss outcomes #ObesityWeek #OW2025 #Obesity #Telemedicine #ClinicallyMeaningfulWeightLoss #GLP1 #IncretinMimetics #Realworld

Weight gain in perimenopause and menopause is common — but it’s not something women should be told to “just accept.” We surveyed 500 women. The takeaway is clear: traditional advice isn’t working, and women are asking for better options. See the full data and insights in our new report. Download Virta’s new report → https://bit.ly/4pvC1Zs
