Programs offer education, coaching and AI-supported accountability for adults using GLP-1 meds or navigating treatment changes with their prescribing clinician.
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Autonoma Health announces the launch of its virtual health-coaching programs, the Metabolic Independence Protocol™ and Metabolic Independence Journey™, designed to support adults working toward long-term weight management. The programs focus on practical nutrition habits, consistent movement and ongoing accountability, including support for people using GLP-1 medications or considering what comes next with their prescribing clinician.
For adults who have lost weight with GLP-1 medications, maintaining progress can raise questions about daily routines and ongoing support. Autonoma Health’s coaching helps clients set goals, identify barriers and develop habits that fit their lives. Participation does not require stopping medication.
“People put a great deal into improving their health, and they deserve support as they think about what comes next,” said Richard “Rich” Planzo, DC, NP-C, founder of Autonoma Health. “I created the Metabolic Independence Protocol to give people a clearer plan, consistent encouragement, and practical tools to support their long-term goals.”
Depending on the selected program, services may include live coaching sessions, educational modules, scheduled progress reviews and access to Coach Rich AI. The AI-powered coaching experience supports learning, reflection, and accountability alongside the program’s other resources.
Rich brings more than 30 years of healthcare experience spanning chiropractic care, therapeutic exercise, nutrition, functional medicine and work as a nurse practitioner in surgical orthopedic practice. That background has given him firsthand experience with the ways excess weight and physical limitations can affect mobility, comfort, confidence, and participation in everyday activities. His background directs the company’s focus on practical habits and the everyday activities clients value.
Autonoma Health provides structured education and personalized coaching with its Coach Rich AI system, an AI-powered coaching experience that reinforces what clients learn during scheduled sessions, prompts them to reflect on their progress, and keeps them accountable to their goals in between scheduled interactions. Coach Rich AI does not replace a licensed healthcare professional and does not provide medical treatment or medication management. Decisions about starting, reducing, or stopping GLP-1 medications remain with each client and their prescribing clinician.
