About us
Pioneering diabetes reversal for 100 million people, and setting a new standard of medical care for people living type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or obesity. Just a few short years ago, type 2 diabetes reversal wasn’t considered possible. Fast forward to today, and Virta’s pioneering efforts have made it mainstream, while revolutionizing healthcare delivery in the process. Still, there’s so much more to be done! If you’re ready to redefine what’s possible, transform our industry, and reinvent healthcare for good, we invite you to join our cause at Virta! We have opportunities for software engineers, health coaches, scientists, clinicians, and more. Visit https://www.virtahealth.com/careers to see our full list of open roles.

Thank you to Neil Barsky for continuing to call attention to America's out-of-control—and preventable—diabetes epidemic. Check out his latest piece, questioning why proven nutritional approaches for weight loss and diabetes reversal (like Virta's) are still being ignored by the FDA + ADA—and how this decision is harming patients.

Nowhere are health equity issues more apparent than in type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic health. For those in disadvantaged communities, and for certain racial and ethnic minority groups (in particular Black, Native American, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander populations), rates of diabetes far surpass the national average. These populations are also more likely to be on medications to manage their diabetes, and to experience worse outcomes, including death or severe complications such as amputation and blindness. In one zip code in South Carolina, for example, amputation rates are nearly 40 times greater than other Deep South communities. Stunningly, on a national basis, 52-80% of patients who receive a lower-leg amputation will die within five years. This is horrifying and has to stop. We initiated an effort to more deeply understand how Virta affects patients from different backgrounds: https://lnkd.in/gkEf2whD
