“You don’t need a new strategy. You need better execution.” Such a simple, powerful reminder from Amit Shah on the Best Manager Ever Podcast. At Virta, we’ve seen it firsthand—small daily improvements lead to big outcomes. This is the kind of leadership insight that moves the needle. #Leadership #ExecutionMatters #BestManagerEver #VirtaHealth
Does it feel like your company has a new strategy every quarter? In the latest episode of Best Manager Ever Podcast, our guest Amit Shah drops a powerful reminder: Leaders are too quick to shift strategy when something isn't working. But they usually don't need a new strategy. They need better execution. Instead of jumping to pivot strategy, leaders should focus on: 1 - Making daily improvements to execution 2 - Investing in the customer experience 3 - Using those insights to inform strategic decisions (not the other way around!) 🎧 Check out the full episode with Amit, wherever you get podcasts. #BestManagerEver #Leadership #Management #Startups

What does “People First” leadership actually look like? Ask Holly Anderson, our Director of Enrollment Operations at Virta. She’s not just building systems—she’s building first impressions that feel personal, thoughtful, and full of possibility. “We don’t just enroll people. We welcome them into a life-changing journey.” Holly’s team is where it all begins—making sure every new member feels seen, supported, and excited about what’s next. We’re so lucky to have her leading the way. 🙌 #VirtaHealth #LifeatVirta #PeopleFirst #LeadershipSpotlight #EmployeeSpotlight #LifeChangingCare

Virta just earned another vote of confidence. We’re proud to share that Virta Health has been re-validated by the Validation Institute — the highest level of third-party recognition for health outcomes and cost savings. → Proven results → Peer-reviewed research → Outcomes that last Virta has achieved: • Re-validation from the Validation Institute • A 5-year IRB-level longitudinal study with sustained outcomes • Recognition in the PHTI report as a program that saves money and improves health • A spotlight in the Wall Street Journal for continued weight loss after GLP-1s • Full transparency: no referral fees, no middlemen, and a $200K open challenge to back our results In a crowded space, Virta stands apart — not just in data, but in real-world impact. https://lnkd.in/eEiNn3gM #VirtaHealth #ValidationInstitute #HealthcareInnovation #PHTI #WSJFeature #DiabetesReversal #GLP1 #MetabolicHealth #OutcomesThatMatter #FoodAsMedicine

We’re proud to share the results of the VICTOR Pilot Study—a groundbreaking collaboration between Virta Health, Colorado Heart Healthy Solutions, and local community health workers (CHWs). The study explored how combining trusted CHWs with Virta’s digitally delivered care could improve diabetes and cardiovascular risk in rural Colorado communities. 🧪 Key findings: → Both study arms saw significant and meaningful A1c reductions → Participants in the Virta + CHW group experienced greater weight loss and A1c reduction despite medication deprescription, highlighting reduced reliance on and burden of medications. → The model proved feasible and scalable for rural areas with limited access to care Even without a statistically significant difference between arms, the improvements across both groups underscore the power of low-carb nutrition, personalized support, and culturally connected care. For communities historically left behind in diabetes care, this pilot shows real promise—and real impact.
