TLC’s hit series, My 600-lb Life, has been chronicling the journey of extremely obese people transforming their bodies and lives since 2012. As the title of the show is, the patients profiled in the show start out with hundreds of pounds of weight and the devastating physical and emotional challenges that come along. From their inability for mobility to hindrances in doing everyday tasks, the patients suffer the extreme physical and emotional consequences of obesity.

‘My 600-lb Life’ chronicles not only the struggles of the extremely obese people but also their attempt to shed weight with the help of diet, therapy and surgery. Dr. Younan Nowzaradan has been playing the significant role in those unbelievable transformations documented in the shows.
