Amy Slaton's New Focus: Mental Health

Amy Slaton, known for her role on TLC's '1000-Lb. Sisters,' is now prioritizing her mental health after her divorce in 2023. She shared that her mental state was at its worst post-divorce, leading to a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, depression, and acute stress disorder. Slaton expressed relief in understanding her conditions, stating it was a significant factor in her emotional well-being.

This focus on mental health comes after Slaton's extensive weight loss journey, which began before the show's premiere in January 2020. She qualified for bariatric surgery in 2019 and has since lost over 150 lbs. Her motivation for weight loss was deeply rooted in her desire to become a mother, a goal she achieved with her two sons, Gage and Glenn, born in November 2020 and July 2022 respectively. Slaton is now married to sports journalist Brian Lovvorn.
