Turn meals into milestones with clinical care and coaching
Discover your best you with Virta.
We’ve all been there. The last day of December rolls around and
you swear that this will be the year you buckle down and get
serious about your health… and that usually lasts about a week.
Health improvement doesn’t happen overnight, which can be
discouraging. That’s why Virta Health now provides a tool that
will actually show you what your weight loss and health outcome
success could look like in only 90 days.
The State of New Mexico and Local Public Bodies is excited to announce that we have extended the Virta benefit to anyone with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater!**
Why lower the BMI requirement?
Our goal has always been to help people prevent the risks associated with weight gain, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes. For many, that means getting in front of it sooner.
How does Virta work?
Virta is a virtual clinic that helps members eat their way to better health and lasting weight loss* without starvation or a life of injections.
Virta has helped so many people, they can now predict success
with the
Virta Results Calculator.
