Nearly 90% of Americans suffer from metabolic disease, Manu Diwakar tells us, citing a recent McKinsey & Company study. For Diwakar, CFO of Virta Health, that statistic defines both the scale of the challenge and the clarity of the mission.Metabolic disease, he explains, includes type 2 diabetes, obesity, liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, and high blood pressure—“branches of a tree,” he tells us, all sharing the same root cause: poor nutrition. Virta's model blends medical professionals and technology to reverse those conditions, partnering with insurers, employers, and government entities in a B2B2C framework.From a finance perspective, the impact is measurable. Diwakar tells us Virta uses pharmacy and medical claims data to compare enrolled members with non-enrolled employees who share the same conditions—creating what he describes as a “really clean A/B test.” For type 2 diabetes, the company delivers a “two-to-one ROI,” he tells us, making the value proposition tangible.In a market captivated by GLP-1 drugs, the numbers sharpen further. Virta charges about $150 per month, Diwakar tells us, compared with roughly $1,000 per month list price for GLP-1s—about $500 after rebates. More important, he notes that when patients stop GLP-1s, weight often returns. By targeting the root cause—nutrition habits—Virta aims to make results sustainable and long-lasting, he tells us.For Diwakar, disciplined measurement and root-cause thinking align strategy with impact—improving health while lowering cost.

Companies that once grew by “buying” growth with aggressive spend are now being forced to prove they can scale in a way that's sustainable, repeatable, and cash‑efficient.   Kevin Appleby sits down with Manu Diwakar, Chief Financial Officer at Virta Health, to unpack how high‑growth companies can scale aggressively without setting fire to their cash reserves  Manu draws on a career that spans Riot Games, the creator economy, AgTech, and now digital health, to show what disciplined, intelligent growth really looks like in practice. This isn't theory; it's the lived experience of a CFO who has repeatedly joined businesses in the steep part of the growth curve and helped them mature without losing their edge. Manu explains how Virta Health is tackling the massive, expensive problem of metabolic disease with a model that reverses conditions like type 2 diabetes while also reducing healthcare costs  Along the way, he breaks down how to think about capital efficiency, when to raise versus when to generate and reinvest your own cash, and why talent, culture, and clear unit economics beat vanity metrics every time. For finance leaders and founders who want to scale with ambition—but keep control of the runway—this conversation offers a grounded, experience‑driven playbook. Key topics covered: Manu's journey from Riot Games to digital health and why he chooses roles where the business is still being built and scaled, not just maintained  How Virta Health's model reverses metabolic disease while lowering costs, and what that teaches about aligning mission, product, and economics  Why scaling without burning cash starts with clear value delivery, not price cuts—especially in tough capital markets  The importance of hiring for growth: building teams whose capabilities can stretch with the business rather than constantly hiring “the next tier up”  How a CFO can balance regulation, data security, and innovation in complex sectors like digital healthcare  Manu's advice to aspiring CFOs: prioritize environments with steep learning, strong teammates, and real growth, not just impressive titles  Links Manu Diwakar on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps:  0:00 Manu's career in high‑growth companies – From Riot Games to Virta Health and why he gravitates to businesses that are still being built and scaled  4:00 Virta Health's mission and metabolic disease explained – What metabolic disease really is and how Virta's approach tackles the root cause, not just symptoms  8:20 Business model and unit economics – How partnering with health plans and employers, and charging per engaged patient, underpins a scalable, cash‑efficient model  12:10 Regulatory complexity vs. innovation – Balancing cost efficiency, patient outcomes, data security, and compliance in digital healthcare  15:40 Scaling without over‑spending – Generating capital internally, reinvesting in growth, and resisting the temptation to chase volume with discounts  19:30 Talent and leadership in scaling teams – Lessons from Riot on hiring for potential, designing growth paths, and building a high‑calibre environment  30:50 Career advice for future CFOs – Why continuous learning, working in truly growing businesses, and choosing stellar leaders matters more than almost anything else  Find out more about GrowCFO If you enjoyed this podcast, you can subscribe to the GrowCFO Show with your favorite podcast app. The GrowCFO show is listed in the Apple podcast directory, Spotify and many others.

Finding product–market fit isn't the finish line—it's base camp. In this episode, Hannah Clark sits down with Amit Shah, COO of Virta Health, to unpack what really happens after you've “made it” and the mountain suddenly gets steeper. Virta is scaling a fully virtual metabolic health clinic in a fast-moving healthcare landscape, and Amit brings a rare perspective shaped by nearly a decade inside the company—and a career that started in operations, not product.Amit shares how Virta navigated rapid growth while building a scalable product organization, why simplicity becomes harder (not easier) as you scale, and how they make deliberate choices about where humans add the most value versus where AI should step in. If you're wrestling with org design, prioritization, tech debt, or the ethics of AI in real-world products, this conversation offers a grounded look at what it takes to scale without losing your north star.Resources from this episode:Subscribe to The CPO Club newsletterConnect with Amit on LinkedInCheck out Virta Health

There has been a fundamental shift in understanding metabolic health and chronic disease, particularly Type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing dietary dogma by emphasizing that insulin resistance is largely driven by overconsumption of refined carbohydrates, not dietary fat or red meat. While highlighting the success of carbohydrate restriction and ketogenic approaches, nutrition is being seen as a powerful tool for reversing diabetes—often more effective and sustainable than conventional medication. The implications are far-reaching, not only for individual health outcomes, but also for reshaping public health strategies in addressing today's chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I speak with Gary Taubes, Sami Inkinen, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty about an approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes that works. I also discuss how red meat is not to blame, but we should be looking at high sugar and starch diets. Gary Taubes is an award-winning science and health journalist, and co-founder and director of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI). He is the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat, Good Calories, Bad Calories, and, most recently, The Case for Keto. Gary is a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for Science. He has written three cover articles on nutrition and health for The New York Times Magazine, and his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, Esquire, and numerous "best of" anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010). He has received three Science in Society Journalism Awards from the National Association of Science Writers, and is also the recipient of a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He lives in Oakland, CA. Sami Inkinen is the CEO and Co-Founder of Virta Health, a pioneer in reversing diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes through a nutrition-first approach. Sami's personal connection to diabetes and passion to advance global health was the motivation behind Virta and its innovative care model. Previously, Inkinen was the co-founder of the leading online real estate marketplace Trulia, serving as its COO and president and board member until its IPO and eventual sale to Zillow Group. Dr. Greeshma Shetty, board certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, currently serves as a Lead Clinician in the Virta Medical Group and the Director of Quality and Safety at Virta Health. Prior to joining Virta, she was clinical physician educator at Harvard Medical School, where she directed the combined Joslin - Beth Israel Deaconess Endocrine Fellowship program and Co-Directed the Asian American Diabetes Initiative. She is dedicated to clinical excellence, leveraging health technology, transforming healthcare delivery, driving health equity and building high performing teams.

What happens when a data scientist with IBS meets a digital health operator scaling virtual GI care? You get more than an acquisition—you get a glimpse of where gastroenterology is headed.On this episode of The Scope Forward Show, Asaf Kraus (founder of Dieta Health) and Bill Snyder (founder & CEO of Cylinder Health) join me to announce Dieta's acquisition. But we didn't stop at the deal.We talked AI, clinical outcomes, and why digestive health—despite affecting millions—remains underrecognized in digital health. Cylinder has already served 100,000 patients. GI care represents a $136 billion market, mostly buried in fragmented smaller markets. That's starting to change.Asaf's journey—from Uber to founding Dieta—shows what happens when lived experience meets data science. Bill's work at Cylinder is proof that virtual GI care can scale with rigor and stay grounded in patient outcomes.This conversation isn't just about what just happened. It's about what's next—and who's willing to build it.*Key takeaways:01:41 - Acquisition announcement on The Scope Forward ShowAsaf explains that he deliberately chose Praveen's platform because of its broad reach and innovation-focused GI community. He cites last year's GI Mastermind Conclave as an example of how influential this community can be.03:23- Dieta Health's OriginsAsaf recounts how a personal bout with IBS during his time as a data scientist at Uber inspired him to apply data-driven personalization to GI care.05:17 - Dieta's AI Revolutionizes GI DiagnosticsDieta ran four clinical trials and served 25,000 patients, confirming the viability of AI-based stool classification. Asaf references the trials to highlight that the solution is clinically grounded, not just theoretical.06:53 - Cylinder's Perspective and Asaf's MotivationBill details how he has known Asaf for years and admired Dieta's dedication to personalizing care.10:52 - The Scale and Scope of CylinderCylinder has already served 100,000 members with GI conditions and is on a rapid growth trajectory.15:12 - Future of Gastroenterology and AIPraveen asks both guests to imagine GI care a decade from now in light of recent AI leaps.22:36 - Bill's Background & Founding CylinderBill traces his career from Humana (understanding the payer/provider landscape), then Virta Health (diabetes-focused) to eventually founding Cylinder in 2021.25:27 - Fundraising for CylinderBill clarifies how investors recognized GI's massive, often-hidden market potential—buried in scattered claims data—and were drawn to Cylinder's proven outcomes and cost-saving evidence, resulting in about $50 million in raised capital.29:01 - Advice for entrepreneurs to fundraise in GIBill urges entrepreneurs to reveal GI's large, underrecognized market, noting that scattered claims data masks its full cost.32:19 - Bill's Path to SuccessBill highlights two key enablers: first, educating the market on GI's huge needs and second, strengthening partnerships with payers, employers, and providers.35:14 - Cylinder Health's operational modelCylinder's two-pronged offering combines a core product (health coaches + dietitians) with a full-stack virtual clinic (gastroenterologists + lab/prescription services).38:41 - How Cylinder differs from competitorsCylinder commits to measurable outcomes, ROI, and patient satisfaction.44:33 - Embracing Potential DisruptionWhen asked about AI advancements possibly surpassing human capabilities—thereby disrupting Cylinder's model—Bill views it as an opportunity rather than a threat.*#digitalhealth #gastroenterology #thescopeforwardshow #nextservices #gi #future #ai #theshift

"Reversing obesity, reversing diabetes is possible. You don't just have to manage a chronic condition." - Steve HastingsSteve Hastings, Leader of Health Plans at Virta Health, joined me to share Virta's strategy to help members reverse type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity. He also shared their findings on just how important food is to our overall health and the power it has as medicine.If you've listened to pretty much any episode of Self-Funded with Spencer, you've heard my thoughts on the importance of healthy nutrition and eating, and how so many of America's chronic health problems are due to what we eat. Steve shared how they put together effective plans that actually work to help people lose weight, and keep it off, without using GLP-1s or other drugs. And, if a member needs GLP-1s, they work to create a strategy to make sure the drug is effective and they can maintain that weight loss.Join us on Self-Funded this week to learn how it's possible to reverse diabetes and obesity!Chapters:00:00:00 Meet Steve Hastings00:02:53 Food As Medicine00:07:47 Membership-based Primary Care 00:15:29 Nutrition-Based Reversal of Diabetes and Obesity00:17:35 America's Obesity Health Crisis00:20:03 Long-term Health Goal Support00:27:42 Tailored Nutrition Plans To Reverse Diabetes00:35:55 Mental Health Improvement From Weight Loss00:49:00 Optimizing Health Outcomes Through FoodKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/Key Words: Nutrition, Primary Care, Reversing Diabetes, Reversing Obesity, Diabetes, Obesity, Obesity In America, Behavior Change, Individualized Nutrition, GLP1s, GLPs, Ozempic, semiglutides, Food As Medicine, Wellness, podcast, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding, self funded health insurance, self funded insurance#Nutrition #PrimaryCare #ReversingDiabetes #ReversingObesity #Diabetes #Obesity #ObesityInAmerica #BehaviorChange #IndividualizedNutrition #GLP1s #GLPs #Ozempic #semiglutides #FoodAsMedicine  #Wellness #podcast #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding #selffundedhealthinsurance #selffundedinsurance

What if instead of managing diabetes with drugs, we focused on reversing it? In this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Sami Inkinen, CEO and co-founder of Virta Health, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty, a board-certified endocrinologist, to discuss an approach that's transforming how we treat metabolic disease. They share groundbreaking research and real-world results that prove type 2 diabetes isn't a lifelong sentence—it can be reversed with the right nutritional and care model. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why mainstream medicine still treats type 2 diabetes as a progressive disease—even though science shows it's reversible. How Virta Health is using a combination of nutritional therapy and continuous remote care to achieve Ozempic-level results, without the drugs. The critical role of personalized dietary interventions in reversing metabolic dysfunction. How a high-touch, tech-driven approach to patient care is leading to long-term success. The real cost of diabetes—not just for individuals, but for the entire healthcare system—and why prevention and reversal should be the priority. If you or someone you love is dealing with type 2 diabetes, this is a must-listen episode.

Curious if the latest weight loss trends are just hype or if they actually work? Dive into the truth about metabolic health and what really makes a difference! In today's episode, I talk with Sami Inkinen, founder of Virta health, about how we can tackle metabolic diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes. Sami challenges the idea that medications like GLP-1 or surgeries are the answer. Instead, he stresses that proper nutrition is the real solution to reversing these conditions.    Sami also shares how Virta health helps people improve their health without relying on strict self-discipline or extreme measures. The company offers free resources and works with employers to make it easier for people to get help.   Key Takeaways:   Nutrition is the key to reversing conditions like obesity and diabetes.   Medications like GLP-1s and bariatric surgery may help in the short term but are not lasting solutions.   Proper nutrition is key to sustainable health and avoiding reliance on medications or surgeries.   Resources: Sami Inkinen is a co-founder of Virta Health, where he focuses on reversing type 2 diabetes and obesity through personalized nutrition. With expertise in metabolic health and GLP-1 medications, Sami emphasizes long-term lifestyle changes over quick fixes.
