Virta Health’s Push to Reverse Metabolic Disease at Scale

from Vanguards of Health Care by Bloomberg Intelligence · host Bloomberg

“We cannot fix a food problem with drugs,” says Sami Inkinen, CEO and co-founder of Virta Health. Inkinen joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Jonathan Palmer to explain why Virta is betting that reversing metabolic disease can become one of the most important cost and outcomes stories in health care. He details how the company combines nutrition therapy, intensive telemedicine and AI to deliver sustained weight loss, diabetes reversal and significant savings for employers and health plans. The conversation also explores Virta’s long commercialization path, its growing traction in the B2B market and why Inkinen believes disease reversal is a far bigger opportunity than simply managing chronic illness more efficiently.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
