A proven approach for deprescribing GLP-1s

Our first of its kind research study shows sustained weight loss after deprescribing GLP-1s among a real world population.

Following GLP-1 deprescription, patients weight did not significantly increase at 6 or 12 months post deprescription, compared to many well-known drug trials (in red) where patients regain up to two thirds of weight loss after discontinuing the drug.

Dan lost 110 pounds and changed his attitude

“The Ozempic helped, but there is no magic bullet out there. I needed to change my diet. The energy level I have now is amazing, I’m walking 6-8 miles a day. My attitude is way better too. I didn’t care about a lot of things before, but now I do.”

Benefits leader Sheri knows Virta works first hand

“Within the first three months on Virta, all my numbers had come down and I lost 60 pounds! I can play with my grandkids now and get back up again without pain. It is incredible.“

Linda lost 65 pounds and celebrated new victories

“For decades, I had tried everything to lose weight. Bariatric surgery was next. Then I found Virta. Since then, I’ve lost 65 pounds, while reducing my medications. I can finally fit comfortably behind the steering wheel in my car and put the tray table down on an airplane. It feels like a miracle.”
