We are devastated to share the news of the passing of our friend and colleague Dr. Sarah Hallberg, and will miss her dearly.

Science-backed nutrition that helps you lose weight & lower blood sugar. For good.
- We're very excited to share with you the one-year results of our groundbreaking clinical trial. We've demonstrated that type 2 diabetes can be reversed safely and sustainably with the Virta Treatment.
- Has anyone ever told you that a low carb diet isn't sustainable because the body (and the brain) requires carbs? Drs. Phinney, Bailey and Volek are here to provide an evidence-based review of why this isn't true.
- Type 2 diabetes is now understood to be due, in part, to inflammation. Drs. Phinney, Bailey, and Volek explain how a well formulated ketogenic diet can reduce inflammation:
- "Nutrition policy makers have indicted the wrong nutrient for the crime of raising blood saturated fat levels.” But how did we get here? Virta co-founders Drs. Phinney and Volek break down the history and science of saturated fat like only they can.
- Miss the carb restriction and ketosis conference hosted by @OhioState? You can watch all the talks here! blog.virtahealth.com/videos-confere…. Ft. @garytaubes @PeterBrukner @DrSarahHallberg @ProfTimNoakes @bigfatsurprise @DominicDAgosti2 @ColinChampMD @BriannaStubbs @SteveTashjian and more!
- We are thrilled to announce new peer-reviewed cardiovascular outcomes. For those with #type2diabetes, the Virta Treatment significantly improved 22 of 26 cardiovascular disease risk factors. (Usual care showed no improvement in any of the same factors.)
- Imagine it. For 25 years you're injecting yourself with insulin every day, occasionally passing out by taking too much. You begin a new approach, and after 4 months, your blood sugar is normal and meds no longer required. This is Kenneth’s Virta story
- Many of you have asked both Virta and @DrSarahHallberg about research on low-carb. We took Dr. Hallberg’s list, updated it here, and will continue to maintain it as a comprehensive source as more and more research is done.
- 15 years following her diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, Bonnie was paying $300/month for just 1 of her 3 diabetes medications. 1 month into the Virta Treatment, Bonnie said goodbye to all 3 of her diabetes meds & hello to thousands of dollars in savings.
- For the past 7 years, Virta has been writing the science on diabetes reversal and remission. Today, we’re sharing the latest installment, with 5-year outcomes from our landmark clinical trial & 2-year results from our work with Veteran patients.
- Proud to announce that Virta has raised $133M from Tiger Global, that we’ll put towards scaling our diabetes reversal treatment to serve & save even more patients w/ chronic disease. It’s time to take #T2Dreversal mainstream. #telehealth #digitalhealth virtahealth.com/blog/diabetes-…
- Tide turning? @JAMA_current taking notice of low-carb nutrition for treating type 2 diabetes and other conditions. “It could be game changing for the field of chronic disease.”
- Science journalist and author Nina Teicholz shared her research on vegetable oils at this year's Emerging Science of Carbohydrate Restriction and Nutritional Ketosis conference. You can watch her full presentation here:
