Virta Health has grown from around 20 people when Amit joined to over 500 now, demonstrating impressive scale and impact.
Amit shared how Virta's unique approach combines personalized nutrition, continuous monitoring, and clinical support through a tech platform to achieve sustainable lifestyle changes without medication or surgery.
