Vida Health Advances Sustainable Weight and Chronic Disease Management Through Integrated, Personalized Care

Vida Health delivers clinically guided, relationship-centered care that supports long-term behavior change and optimized outcomes in weight and chronic disease management. By leveraging cognitive behavioral techniques, its care teams work closely with members to foster lasting lifestyle improvements across physical, mental, and emotional dimensions.

Registered dietitians at Vida provide medical nutrition therapy that includes:

• Evidence-based, prescriptive nutritional guidance,
• Nutritional support tailored to mitigate medication side effects,
• Tools and strategies for sustaining dietary and behavioral change.

Each member is supported by an integrated care team that includes physicians, lifestyle coaches, and mental health professionals. This model ensures:

• Continuous oversight and dynamic treatment plan adjustments,
• Ongoing progress monitoring and personalized support,
• Stronger health outcomes and higher satisfaction, particularly when paired with GLP-1 therapy, if clinically indicated.

According to Dr. Richard Frank, Chief Medical Officer at Vida Health, the company’s latest outcomes data validates this comprehensive approach: “With or without medication, the key to success is surrounding each member with a coordinated care team. By addressing the physical, mental, and emotional needs of each individual, we consistently identify the right care pathway—often not reliant on GLP-1s—and deliver sustainable health outcomes while managing costs.”

Vida’s approach reinforces the value of combining medical expertise with behavioral support, offering employers and health plans a scalable solution that improves engagement, satisfaction, and return on investment.
