Anschutz Health & Wellness Center on ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss”
Aurora’s Anschutz Health & Wellness Center has a starring role in Season 4 of ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss,” the reality show in which “super obese” candidates aim to reduce their body weight by half. Like, by hundreds of pounds. Next season, currently in production, opens with a 90-day stint at the Anschutz Center, with medical director Holly Wyatt in charge.
Wyatt, a medical doctor and associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, and James O. Hill, the Center’s executive director and professor of pediatrics, medicine, physiology and biophysics at the CU School of Medicine, are billed as supporting trainer Chris Powell, the show’s host and a “transformation specialist,” through the year-long process. Wyatt leads the team of dieticians and fitness experts who assist with each participant’s weight loss.
