Before, during, and after GLP-1s: the role of nutrition in metabolic care | Amit Shah (Virta Health)

Prior to the wave of GLP-1s, Amit Shah has spent a decade working on reversing metabolic disease through nutrition. As a leader at Virta Health, he's experienced the impact that changing what people eat can have on type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular events, and outcomes across a surprising range of conditions.

In this episode, he talks about the reality that 93% of American adults have some form of metabolic dysfunction, addresses patient preferences for medication or lifestyle changes through diet, and shares how Virta is showing that a nutrition-first approach, paired thoughtfully with GLP-1s, delivers better outcomes and lower costs for the employers and health plans.
