Frequently Asked Questions

Your employer offers Virta as a benefit to support your health and wellness goals. Virta’s sustainable approach to weight loss combines research-backed tools, nutritional guidance, and personalized support to help you achieve lasting results.

No to both a strict diet and blood monitoring.

Dietary changes are encouraged, but you’re in control. Virta offers support whether you’re making small adjustments or bigger lifestyle changes.

Finger pricking is completely optional but strongly recommended as a way to optimize your nutritional recommendations. Members who regularly monitor their biomarkers tend to see more rapid and sustained weight loss results.

Most Virta members use Virta’s drug-free nutrition focused approach to weight loss where they work with a dedicated care team to get nutrition and lifestyle support. Nutrition recommendations are tailored to each member’s health and lifestyle preferences focusing on eating more real foods like vegetables, moderate levels of proteins, and healthy fats, and less sugar/carbs. This approach helps curb cravings and hunger and avoids calorie counting. 

Virta may have other weight loss approaches available depending on your health and current medications. Your care plan may include nutrition therapy, weight loss
medications, or a combination of both, designed to help you achieve long-term weight loss and naturally lower your blood sugar.

Virta works alongside medications like GLP-1s, providing support to help you reach your goals with or without medication.

In order to continue taking your medication, you will need to enroll with Virta. The enrollment process includes a video appointment with a Virta provider. The Virta care team will walk you through your care options with Virta and you will make a shared decision. If that includes continuing on your GLP-1, they will ask about your preferred local pharmacy and will work to submit the paperwork for your refill. Please make sure you budget adequate time to complete the enrollment process to avoid lapses in your medication.

You will receive (or may have already received) a note officially informing you that you must go to Virta in order to continue the prescription. Once the responsible GLP-1 prescribing partnership with Virta launches, you will have a certain amount of time to register. (No need to register or get started before this date, their team won’ be able to support you before the launch date.)

Typically it takes a few days to get started and then additional time to meet with a provider. Timing will depend on your personal schedule and appointment availability.

Virta is your employer's new metabolic health benefit. Virta offers added levels of support for anyone looking to lose weight or address other metabolic health challenges that other providers typically aren’t able to provide. With Virta you get a dedicated care team who continuously monitors your health, mitigates side-effects, and tailors lifestyle and nutrition support to your specific preferences and life circumstances. The care team is available as much as you need them, daily if you want, to support your progress and ensure your success.

Virta respects your existing clinical relationships and encourages you to keep them. During sign-up, you can share your providers' details, and Virta will keep them updated on your care. While some engagement with Virta’s health coach and clinician is required for safety, you control how much you interact with your health coach. Most members find value in having their Virta care team available anytime through the app.

Yes, Virta is your employer's metabolic health benefit. In addition to supporting individuals looking to lose weight or address other areas of their metabolic health through nutrition-first approaches, Virta is also an expert in managing metabolic health medications. Going forward, any member seeking a GLP-1 for weight loss that meets the FDA criteria will be required to work with Virta to ensure members receive the proper level of medication and side-effect support.
