Vida Health

While the occasional treat is fine, a balanced diet is key to maintaining long-term health. That’s where our coaches come in. By deploying Vida, you’re not only helping your team build healthier habits, but also reducing long-term healthcare costs. A well-rounded approach to nutrition paired with coaching support, leads to better energy, focus, and overall productivity, saving your business money while investing in your employees’ well-being.

Health literacy is one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, components of healthcare. When individuals don’t fully understand their conditions, medications, or treatment options, they’re less likely to make informed decisions about their well-being. We strive to empower members with the knowledge they need to take control of their health, ask the right questions, and make decisions that support long-term wellness.

There are a lot of misconceptions about obesity. It’s a complex disease influenced by many factors, including genetics, hormones, stress, sleep, and more, and has been recognized as a serious disease by the American Medical Association. In fact, obesity also has a significant economic cost, with trillions lost due to reduced productivity and absenteeism, making it much more than a cosmetic issue.

Across the US, social determinants of health (SDOH) like food deserts, unsafe neighborhoods, and limited healthcare access in rural areas have a profound impact on health outcomes for over 200 million Americans. At Vida, we recognize that health isn’t just about physical symptoms; it’s about the unique circumstances each person faces. Our coaches take into account the environmental and social factors that impact our members' well-being. By addressing these challenges, we help individuals build realistic, sustainable paths to better health, no matter where they live or what obstacles they face.

Many providers prescribe GLP-1 medications for weight loss, but that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Without access to coaching, dietitians, and therapy, patients aren't getting the comprehensive care they need for long-term success. By investing in a more holistic approach, combining GLP-1s with personalized support, Vida helps members achieve sustainable results, reduce the risk of costly chronic conditions, and ultimately lower healthcare expenses over time.
