With a 60% success rate in type II diabetes, and an average weight loss success of 14 kilograms, Virta health is leveraging the power of data, AI and human expertise to maximum potential and changing people’s lives. If you are one of the millions and millions out there feeling hopeless, ashamed and given up on your chances of weight loss and diabetes success, stop whoever you are doing and listen to this potentially life changing 60 minutes.

Sami Inkinen is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Virta Health, the leader in type 2 diabetes reversal and creator of a new standard in medical care for people living with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or obesity.
