Our member Bruce surprised us in 2021 when he got his first Virta tattoo. An even bigger surprise? Bruce just got his SECOND Virta tattoo, as a credit to his success + continuing dedication to a healthier lifestyle 🤗 💪
@chrissyfarr Separate google cal + google sheets. We each have areas we own. Then weekly meeting usually on Sunday to align on the week + discuss any bigger decisions. It mostly works but there are plenty of weeks where we are a hot mess 😂
Millions of people in California are living with #type2diabetes. We @virtahealth and @BlueShieldCA are trying to make it so they don’t have to. Excited for this next phase of our partnership!
Virta is now officially in network w/ @BlueShieldofCA, signaling a major expansion of our partnership with the state’s largest insurer. By making it even easier for members to join Virta, BSCA is taking a big step towards reversing this epidemic in CA. news.blueshieldca.com/2023/02/07/blu…
Coinciding w/ the start of National Diabetes Month, we’re launching a 3-part series on the state of health equity in T2D, including in Virta's population. Today, we start by outlining the disparities that exist in diabetes, while looking at what's ahead. virtahealth.com/blog/addressin…
@dian_xiao Wait what? Hope you have a speedy recovery!
Congrats to our patient Bruce on the phenomenal health transformation and the opportunity to tell his story to @AubreyNPR. Well done!
“Food can be the medicine." Well said by Virta patient Bruce as covered by @NPR, @AubreyNPR and @rachelnpr. We've never been more hopeful about reversing #type2diabetes, and can't wait to discuss more at this week's White House nutrition conference! npr.org/2022/09/26/112…
Diabetes takes a huge toll on patients, both medically and financially. In a new @medcitynews article, Banner|Aetna CMO & EVP @RHGrovesMD @CybeleDeValk dive into several strategies to help address the growing health concern. tinyurl.com/bdenura9
What was Bill Russell's life like while he was racking up 11 rings? His daughter writes:
@anahadoconnor @washingtonpost Congrats Anahad!
It’s been so fun to be part of this journey. Congrats to the team and most importantly to our patients, current and future, who inspire us every day!
For the past 7 years, Virta has been writing the science on diabetes reversal and remission. Today, we’re sharing the latest installment, with 5-year outcomes from our landmark clinical trial & 2-year results from our work with Veteran patients. virtahealth.com/blog/long-term…

We’re starting with the Diabetes category. Drumroll, please…and the winner is: @virtahealth. Two honorable mentions in this category as well. @TrueLifeCare and @TriaHealth #HealthValueAwards Congratulations to the winners!
This is an enormous loss. Sarah was an amazing human and an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Having the chance to work with and learn from her was a genuine privilege and highlight of my career.
We are devastated to share the news of the passing of our friend and colleague Dr. Sarah Hallberg, and will miss her dearly. virtahealth.com/blog/rememberi…
New research alert: Virta patients improve depressive symptoms, many seeing notable change in the first 10 wks. At 2 yrs, nearly one-third no longer met clinical cut-off for depression. Big news given the intricate connection between T2D + mental health. virtahealth.com/blog/patients-…
Reduced COVID-19 severity (hospitalization, ventilation & death) linked to weight loss in patients w/ T2D. Virta study at #ADA2021 shows that improved metabolic health may be one of our best defenses against severe COVID outcomes. Full results here: virtahealth.com/blog/diabetes-…
ICYMI @usatoday covered our work with tribal nations and the story of our wonderful patient Heather. Another important highlight—without even considering healthcare utilization, MPTN is saving $3800 per patient per year based on medication elimination usatoday.com/in-depth/news/…
I wrote this to discourage entrepreneurs from starting a Health Tech company, now that it's so fashionable... (or: learn from my experiences before getting started on a long and likely very rewarding journey). samiinkinen.medium.com/7-reasons-to-n…
