Virta Health

At Virta, we intentionally bring our growing team together in person - because connection drives performance. Over the past few months, our Q1 offsite in Atlanta and Q2 offsite in Phoenix brought together teams from across the country with a clear focus: improving how we collaborate to drive meaningful impact. As our Chief Commercial Officer, Laura Walmsley, shared: “It was so great to sit at a dinner table with team members from commercial, communications, and product development to talk about our industry, the problems we each solve, and how to think differently for the next phase of growth.” What we’re seeing at these offsites is clear: ✨ Stronger cross-functional trust and alignment ✨ Deeper connection to our mission, members, and clients ✨ A growing sense of pride and shared purpose ✨ Real relationships that make collaboration faster, more effective, and more human ✨ Greater clarity on priorities, outcomes, and where we need to improve In a distributed world, in-person connection isn’t a “nice to have.” It’s a strategic advantage.

Meet Elizabeth Crumley, Enrollment Nurse at Virta Health. 🌟 After 20 years in nursing, Elizabeth says this is the happiest and most fulfilled she has ever felt in a role. When we asked what drew her to Virta, her answer came back to the culture: “I had a friend who works here who said I should check the job out, but then I read the values. I was immediately impressed and wanted to be a part of the culture those values embody.” And when we asked what makes her role exciting, she said: “I LOVE getting to talk to the applicants and get them excited for their Virta journey. I meet so many neat people! This is actually the happiest and most fulfilled that I have ever been in a role and I have been a nurse for 20 years. I love being a part of an organization that actually does SO much good for patients and that treats their employees so well. I actually feel valued here and that matters.” That last line says so much: “I actually feel valued here and that matters.” We’re grateful to have Elizabeth helping future Virta members take their first steps.

A lot of people don’t realize how much their daily food choices can impact how they feel. It’s easy to blame feeling sluggish on a demanding schedule, back-to-back meetings, or just being “busy.” But sometimes, a simple shift in what you reach for every day can make a real difference. For Virta member Deb, that shift started with snacks. She went from eating a bag of popcorn every day to building a way of eating that helped her feel more fueled and supported. Small changes may seem small at first, but over time, they can become part of much bigger health outcomes. That’s the power of nutrition-first care. #VirtaHealth #HealthyHabits #Nutrition #DietTips

Unlike a pill or a medical device, digital health products evolve on a weekly basis. So, how do you actually measure long-term cost reductions and ROI? That’s exactly the kind of question Priya Shanmugam, PhD is digging into at #ISPOR2026 this week. She's representing the Virta Health HEOR team and presenting our latest survival analysis on T2D and nutrition therapy (Poster #2048, Tuesday 4-7 PM).

Benefits leaders are under increasing pressure to deliver more value from benefits offered, especially those focused on weight loss and metabolic health. But an outdated member experience can often get in the way. Join Tammy Bursac from Newell Brands, Ian Chuang, MD, MS from Mercer, and leaders from Virta Health on June 4 for a candid conversation on what it takes to create a high-impact member experience today...and why it’s essential for driving the full ROI of digital health investments. Together they'll cover: ✅ What “engagement” really means today ✅ What high-performing programs do differently ✅ Where AI and human support work best ✅ What true personalization looks like in practice—with or without GLP-1s Register now to save your spot or receive the replay 👇

"I had never seen it get better or be reversed. So I was relatively skeptical." A lot of folks in the healthcare industry feel the exact same way. Before Amit became our President here at Virta, he spent years working in primary care. He was used to seeing patients manage their metabolic disease day in and day out, without ever actually getting better. So, what makes a skeptic change their mind and join the team? For Amit, it was seeing that true reversal was actually possible—and finding a deeply empathetic, driven team to do it with. As he mentions in the video, if you're going to spend time away from your family and your kids, it has to be for work that truly matters. It turns out, hyper-personalized nutrition really can change your life. But you already know that. 😉 #VirtaHealth #HealthcareInnovation

You can't exactly meal prep in a massive kitchen when your office is a semi-truck. But Jerry is proof that you don't need a perfect setup to take your health back.

Now, he's not just surviving the long drives; he's thriving.

Real healthcare isn't just adding years to life, it's removing the chronic inflammatory burden from those years. For the 125 million Americans living with chronic inflammation, the focus is almost always on managing symptoms. But new research from Virta Health is showing something we think is important: when you address type 2 diabetes through nutrition-based care, the impact goes far beyond just blood sugar. In a peer-reviewed study published in Endocrine Research, Virta’s care model improved 19 of 21 inflammatory and immune markers in people with T2D, with results sustained over two years. That matters because inflammation is the "silent driver" of insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and long-term complications. As our CMO Dr. Adam Wolfberg shared: "Metabolic diseases are often treated in isolation... This study shows that when we address the root cause of type 2 diabetes through nutrition, we can achieve broad improvements across many inflammatory pathways." This research is a reminder that the body doesn't work in silos, and our care models shouldn’t either. #VirtaHealth #MetabolicHealth #Type2Diabetes #InsulinResistance #ChronicInflammation #FoodAsMedicine #ScienceBacked

Metabolic health is one of the biggest opportunities to improve outcomes across multiple chronic conditions. Yet for many people, the term can still feel unclear. In this video, Frank D. Dumont breaks down what metabolic health means, how it can impact blood sugar, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, inflammation, and more — and why insulin resistance is often an important part of the conversation. At Virta, we believe improving metabolic health starts with addressing the root cause, with nutrition and clinical support that meet people where they are. What questions would you like Dr. Dumont to answer next? #VirtaHealth #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #FoodAsMedicine

AI can only be useful in healthcare if it helps care teams do more of what humans do best. Nurses and care management teams are being asked to support large member populations, manage endless outreach, and still create meaningful moments of connection. That is a lot to carry. On May 18, Virta Health CMO Dr. Adam Wolfberg will join Courtney Henchon of Ellipsis Health and Amit Khanna of Salesforce for a conversation on empathetic AI, and how voice-based technology can help scale care without losing the human connection that drives better outcomes. They’ll discuss how AI can support high-volume needs like health risk assessments and post-discharge follow-ups, while giving care teams more time to focus on the conversations that need their clinical judgment, compassion, and experience. 📅 May 18 | 2:00 PM EDT 🔗 Register at the link in the comments.
