Dr. Now: The present of the doctor from Quilos Mortais at 80 years old
Known worldwide for his role on the reality show Kilo Mortais , Dr. Younan Nowzaradan—or simply Dr. Now—became a leading figure in the fight against morbid obesity. Born in Tehran in 1944, the bariatric surgeon starred in eight seasons of the TLC show between 2008 and 2020, totaling more than 100 episodes that captivated millions of viewers.
From television to the doctor's office
After five years without recording, Dr. Now continues to work at his clinic in Houston, Texas, where he treats severely obese patients who are struggling with lifestyle changes. On his official website, he presents himself as one of the most experienced specialists in bariatric surgery and weight-loss treatments.
A doctor with a strong digital presence
Away from the cameras, he maintains a community of more than 1.4 million followers on Instagram, where he shares health tips, reflections, and iconic cases from his television career. He is also the author of the book "The Scale Doesn't Lie, People Do ," in which he recounts experiences with patients and the physical and emotional challenges they face.

A surprising makeover
His current appearance is a far cry from what he displayed on television: he left behind his signature black mane and today appears with thinner hair, partially bald and a completely gray cavanhaque, a sign of a different but equally active stage in his professional life.
