About Virta Health
Virta Health is a nutrition-first virtual program for diabetes reversal and sustainable weight loss, distributed through employers and health plans at no cost to members. Its core approach uses low-carb nutrition therapy and coaching rather than drugs, but Virta also offers a Responsible Prescribing track that includes optimized GLP-1 use (oral or injectable) with clinician monitoring and a planned medication off-ramp. Virta does not push GLP-1s for most members and is not a direct cash-pay prescriber, so GLP-1 access depends on the plan chosen.
