"I lost 47 lbs in 8 months."

"I'd tried everything. ORIVA was the first time a doctor actually looked at my full picture and helped me build a plan I could stick to. The medicine was part of it — but having my care team a message away made me feel like I wasn't doing this alone."

— Marisa, 38, Texas

"My A1C dropped from 7.4 to 5.8."

"I came to ORIVA mostly worried about my diabetes. Six months in, my A1C is in normal range, my blood pressure is down, and I've dropped 31 pounds. My provider answers messages within a day."

— David, 52, Ohio

"It finally felt private and serious at the same time."

"I was nervous about telehealth. ORIVA didn't feel like an app — it felt like a real medical relationship that just happened to be online. I appreciated that they never promised anything before my provider said yes."

— Jenna, 44, California
