First Dr. Now Bobblehead Unveiled to Celebrate Birthday

FIRST OFFICIALLY APPROVED DR. NOW TALKING BOBBLEHEAD LAUNCHES TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY

Exclusive, Limited-Edition Collectible Featuring Dr. Now’s Most Famous Sayings Available for Pre-Order Starting Today

MILWAUKEE, WI — October 10, 2025 — The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, in partnership with Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, today unveiled the first and only officially approved Dr. Now Bobblehead — a limited-edition, talking collectible honoring the world-renowned bariatric surgeon and star of TLC’s My 600-lb Life.

Timed with Dr. Now’s birthday, which is on October 11, this exclusive release gives fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a numbered collectible (limited to 2,025 pieces) that captures the spirit, humor, and motivation of the beloved doctor whose tough-love truth-telling has inspired millions worldwide.

Pre-orders opened Friday, October 10, exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s Online Store. Each collectible retails for $35 USD plus flat-rate shipping of $8 per order, with shipments beginning February 2026.

Standing proudly on a circular base bearing his name, the smiling Dr. Now wears his trademark white lab coat and gold stethoscope — crafted by his grandchildren — complete with the “Dr. Now Officially Approved” patch. Each bobblehead features authentic audio clips of Dr. Now’s most iconic sayings, including:

“No excuses. Just results.”
“You’re not gonna starve.”
“The scale does not lie, people do.”

“This isn’t just a toy—it’s a reminder,” said Dr. Younan Nowzaradan. “Every day, people face choices that affect their health. If hearing me say, ‘You’re not gonna starve,’ makes someone stop, think, and take action—that’s mission accomplished. Health starts with accountability.”

For more than a decade, Dr. Now has inspired millions of viewers around the globe through My 600-lb Life and his evidence-based approach to weight-loss medicine. Beyond television, he is widely regarded as a pioneer in modern bariatric surgery, having spent over 40 years developing and performing innovative techniques that make surgery safer and more effective for patients of all sizes.

His direct, compassionate style and commitment to long-term lifestyle change have helped redefine how obesity is understood and treated. Dr. Now is also the author of the bestselling book The Scale Does Not Lie, People Do, which shares his proven framework for weight loss, nutrition, and accountability — echoing the same life-changing guidance seen on television.  The new, licensed Dr. Now Bobblehead is part of new range of officially approved products and merchandise that Dr. Now is rolling out to continue expanding his Mission and take back his name, image and likeness that has been abused by unauthorized sellers for too many years.

“Dr. Now is one of the most respected and recognizable medical figures on television and beyond,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “This marks the first and only officially authorized Dr. Now collectible. It’s more than a fun keepsake—it’s a meaningful symbol of inspiration and transformation.”
