Virta Health

“I am convinced that Virta is the only way for a life without type 2 diabetes. Because of Virta, I now know that insulin is not the only solution, and food is the ultimate medicine. I am confident that with Virta’s help, I will be able to achieve my long-term goal of getting completely off insulin. I am so thankful to AutoZone for providing this wonderful benefit to AutoZoners. I would tell anyone who may be considering Virta to take the leap and join; there is nothing to lose and everything to gain!”

“Because of my experience, I encourage my colleagues at Nielsen to consider joining the treatment. You’ve probably tried other things, so why not take a chance? It doesn’t cost you anything, and in the long run, it could save you money. And if you are like me, it could save your life.”

“I am also very grateful to my employer, Nielsen, for paying for Virta. Nielsen is already a great company to work for, but for them to support people with type 2 diabetes like this, it’s incredible.”

“This has done wonders for her. I'm so proud of her.”

“My mom has done an awesome job and has even inspired me to start my own journey towards losing weight and becoming a healthier me. It really is like looking at two different people, and it’s encouraging to see that she is taking her health so seriously. Health and wellness are very important and the fact that she makes the conscious decision to do better is truly inspiring.”

“With Virta, I’ve avoided expensive bariatric surgery, which I was seriously considering before joining Virta, and I have lost over 70 lbs now. I’m no longer on any diabetic medications, and I don’t take any medications for my multiple sclerosis either. I’m saving $125 every two months just by no longer needing my multiple sclerosis medication. My insurance company is saving even more—it used to cost them $1,800 per pill!”

“A year and a half ago, in May of 2017, I began the Virta Treatment . Six months later, I was doing so well that I decided to share my story on the Virta website. After 18 months, I’m happy to report that I’m still going strong on Virta. People ask me why and I tell them the simple answer: Virta is the only thing that has ever worked for me. It’s been really easy for me to do Virta, and nothing has ever been really easy for me before. I can’t even imagine my life without this treatment. Virta is now my lifestyle, and I will never change it.”

“I’m happier now and feel better than I ever thought possible. I have so much more energy, which I use to keep up with my grandkids. I used to be the person that just wanted to sit at home, but now, I look forward to going out to explore my neighborhood, and even the world. Virta is my future and my forever–I could never go back to being the person I was before starting Virta.”

“My Virta health coach, Dorsa, is an invaluable support system. I’m able to message her any time I have questions, or if I find myself in situations where I may have trouble sticking to my Virta plan. She helps me work through it so I can still enjoy my life, but continue to succeed. I would not be where I am today without her.”

“I’m here to tell you that Virta is unlike anything I’ve tried before, and the best word to describe it is simply, “Wow.” I’ve lost 65 pounds and lowered my A1c from 7.8% to 5.4%. But the most important thing is that after 8 months of being on Virta, I find it as doable as ever, and I have no plans to stop.”

“To those thinking of starting the Virta journey toward a more healthy you, all I can say is to just jump in. Give it 30 days—I believe most of us can do anything we set our minds to for 30 days, and I just know that if you do, you will be sold on what Virta can do for you.”

“Best of all, I’ve stopped needing all diabetes medications, and I don’t worry about low blood sugar anymore.”

“What used to seem impossible is clearly doable with Virta, and for anyone who thinks that they can’t go on a diet, it’s OK. Like I said, this is not a diet, but a truly sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle.”

“Turns out, Virta was the missing puzzle piece I needed. Not only did Virta show me how to cut carbs, but I learned how to cut the right carbs, eat the right portions, and add the right things to my food to feel full and satisfied with every meal.”

“‍ To succeed at this, you've gotta believe in the process and follow it through.  And if you don't feel confident enough that you're going to stick to it on your own, you need to sign up for that second year. Virta will change your life. It has changed mine!  For me there is no going back. I cannot wait to see where Virta takes me next.”

“‍ For those thinking about doing Virta, all I can say is to do it.”

“I made this for Dr. Sarah Hallberg because Dr. Hallberg and my health coach believed in me, and that belief helped me stick to Virta.”

“I have had chronic muscle pain for years. Through Virta, my pain has gone down, and it was during that second year that I felt my body started unlocking.  The pain going away allowed me to do the things I’ve always wanted to do. I took up welding on weekends!”

“Without Virta, I would have done what I've done every other time I've lost 50 lbs and stalled—I would have thrown my hands up in the air and given up.  Stalls are hard to work through. You have to believe what in what you are doing. You have to trust the process. This time, I had lots of talks with my health coach, who opened my mindset to not to dwell on the scale. I had to start looking at those non-scale victories, and it's really hard to do on your own.”

“For me, Virta is accountability, and that accountability has proven especially helpful for my second year in the treatment. I lost 50 lbs in the first year and only 10 in the second, but I went down 3 dress sizes with the last 10 pounds. The scale didn't move much in that second year, but my body changed. I call it shape-shifting.”

“If it weren’t for Virta , I wouldn't be able to do what I do now. In two years, I lost 60 pounds, relieved my chronic pain, and I have so much stamina and energy that I’ve taken up welding on the weekends. Creating metal art has been a long-time dream of mine that I am now able to do.”

“If someone had told me years ago that I could reverse type 2 diabetes through nutrition, I never would have believed it. But now, I can’t deny the results. For years, I’ve had a school vest that didn’t fit. I tried it on the other day for the first time after I had lost 40 pounds, and it fit perfectly. That was a happy day indeed.”

“I’ve also lost 48 pounds, and my energy levels have gone way up. This definitely has helped me in my job as a high school band director. I no longer keep a chair by my stand in order to rest during class. And my energy lasts throughout each and every practice session with my students.”

“After starting, my Virta health coach Jazmin supported me through making some necessary changes to my diet, which helped lower my A1c to 5.4%! I say “necessary” because this was something I needed to do. I hated the injections I had to give myself every morning. Virta gave me the tools I needed to be able to stop.”

“For years, I took insulin shots every morning. 52 units bright and early, and even that didn’t bring my blood sugars down to healthy levels. My A1c consistently sat around 8%, and I knew I didn’t have good control over my type 2 diabetes. When I joined Virta, all of that changed.”
