What if your diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or fatty liver wasn’t a permanent sentence, but a condition that could improve or even reverse through targeted intervention?
In this episode of the Metabolic Mind podcast, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with Dr. Adam Wolfberg, Chief Medical Officer at Virta Health, to explore groundbreaking data that challenges the conventional approach to managing chronic metabolic disease. They dive into Virta’s latest annual report, which highlights powerful clinical and economic outcomes that could reshape the future of medicine.
In this interview, you'll learn:
- Why "reversal" is replacing "management" in the metabolic care conversation
- How Virta’s data shows a 56% reduced risk of heart attack, stroke, or death
- The role of carbohydrate-restricted and ketogenic nutrition in improving metabolic health
- How patients across socioeconomic backgrounds, including those in food deserts, are seeing results
- Where medications like GLP-1 fit into a lifestyle-first model
- What this model means for healthcare costs, medication reduction, and long-term patient outcomes
Virta’s annual report highlights how a shift toward value-based care and personalized, nutrition-driven approaches can drastically improve patient outcomes.
