About the Author

Victor Poteet

Victor Poteet is the founder of STAAR LABS and a healthcare and metabolic health entrepreneur focused on long-term weight maintenance, metabolic recovery, and patient education following GLP-1 therapy.

Through his work with clinics, pharmacists, and patients, Victor has spent years studying the practical challenges people encounter after weight loss — particularly the transition phase when appetite returns but metabolism has not fully recovered. His educational work focuses on explaining why rebound weight gain occurs and how muscle preservation, metabolic support, and structured transition strategies influence long-term outcomes.

Rather than focusing solely on short-term weight loss, his writing emphasizes sustainability, metabolic resilience, and patient understanding. He works closely with healthcare professionals and dispensing pharmacies to better understand real-world patient experiences, including weight regain, energy instability, and maintenance difficulty after discontinuing therapy.

Victor’s goal is not to replace medical care, but to help patients better understand the biological processes behind weight change so they can have more productive conversations with their healthcare providers.

Education & Research Focus
