My 600-lb Life: Where Is Justin McSwain, The Star Of ‘My 600-lb Life,’ Now?

In My 600-lb Life, Justin McSwain of Rock Hill, South Carolina, faced a food addiction, gaining nearly 700 pounds.

His overeating stemmed from a tough childhood during his parents’ divorce. Bullying, including from his stepmother, worsened his struggle.

By his teens, he gained 90 pounds, fueling his food addiction. His weight made daily tasks challenging. Anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia kept him housebound.

Justin sought help from Dr. Now, arriving at 687.5 pounds. Devastated, he committed to Dr. Now’s diet and exercise plan. After a year and gastric bypass surgery, he shed 334 pounds. Justin, once lost in eating disorder, regained control and health.
