<p id=”par-2_54″><em>My 600-lb Life </em>Season 13 premieres Wednesday, Jan. 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC. Episodes stream the next day on Max. The new season will follow seven new patients in two-hour episodes. They’ll navigate the highs and lows of extreme weight loss, with the support – and tough love – of Dr. Now. </p>
<p id=”par-3_23″>The <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/my-600-lb-life-dr-now-job-daily-challenge.html/”>Houston-based surgeon</a> is dedicated to helping people lose weight and live healthier lives, even when that seems like a nearly impossible task. </p>
<p id=”par-4_71″>“It’s a daily challenge to work with some patients that can be self-destructive,” Dr. Now told <a href=”https://people.com/health/my-600-lb-life-dr-nowzaradan-why-difficult-patients-keep-weight-off/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a> in 2017. “My job is not to get aggravated, but to find a way to motivate them to work hard to get to their goals. There are times where I think it’s necessary for some tough love and I have to be stern with them, so I show some of my concern and frustration.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_103″>Each <em>My 600-lb Life </em>patient will have to make extreme diet and lifestyle changes, including high-risk bariatric surgery, to achieve potentially life-saving results. This season will highlight the stories of a pastor who is eager to lose weight so he can return to the pulpit, a woman who must overcome her fear of leaving the house if she wants a better life, a former first responder who has vowed to make a major change, an overprotective son whose love for his mom is preventing him from getting the help he needs, and a husband who is desperate for his wife to get healthy. </p>

<p id=”par-6_12″>In the <em>My 600-lb Life </em>Season 13 premiere, viewers will meet Jonathan. </p>
<p id=”par-7_50″>Once, Jonathan had his dream job, saving other people’s lives through his work as an EMT. Now, he rarely leaves his room. His wife must work full-time to pay their bills. If he wants to stay married and keep his life, he’ll need to break his unhealthy cycle of eating. </p>
<p id=”par-8_48″>Episode 2 features Krystal A. She’s realized that her weight is getting in the way of living the life she wants. She has a loving husband who supports her unconditionally. But if they want to have a happy life together, she knows she needs to get weight-loss surgery. </p>
