How clinician protocols and coach support work with bariatric tracks
Two different people, two very different levels of access. This page is exactly what each can see and do.
Your care team
Their protocol replaces ours. Loopa shows published reference guidance when nobody has told it otherwise. The moment your care team sends theirs in, theirs is what you see (their stage windows, their targets, their supplement lines, their lab schedule) and the screen is headed Your care team's protocol.
How it works. You generate a single-use link with a passcode and give it to them. They fill it in once. Nothing takes effect until you have looked at what it changes and accepted it. You can withdraw it at any time, and the published reference comes back with a notice saying so.
You cannot edit what they wrote, and that is the point of it. It is their instruction, not your recollection of it. You can decline it, withdraw it or delete it whenever you like.
A Loopa Coach
A coach is a person who helps with training and habits. A coach has coaching power and no medical power.
What they cannot do, at all: change your stage, change a supplement line, change your lab schedule, or touch anything your care team sent in. There is no permission for any of it.
What a granted bariatric category shows them:
- Which stage of the eating plan you are in, and how long you have been in it
- How many days you logged in the last two weeks, with your average protein and fluid against that stage's target
- How many of your supplement reminders are switched on: the number, never which ones
- Which symptoms you flagged and how often, over the last 30 days
- That your care team has sent in a protocol, if they have
What it never shows them:
- Any supplement name or amount
- Any lab result, and any lab date
- Your weight, and anything measured from it
- The notes you write on a symptom, and the food beside one
- Your food-tolerance list
- Any question you wrote for your care team
- Anything your care team wrote in their protocol
Nothing reaches a coach until you switch it on, it is one switch, and you can switch it off whenever you like. Every time they look is recorded and you can see it.

Where this comes from
Everything on this page is drawn from published clinical guidelines and peer-reviewed research, cited above. The full list, with a link to every original, is at loopahealth.app/sources. Loopa does not give medical advice. It does not decide whether a procedure is right for you, does not recommend one over another, and never sets a dose. Your care team does all three, and where they give you an instruction, theirs is the one to follow.
