I Want to Save Your Life was a reality show that aired on WE tv in 2009. Hosted by author and nutritionist Charles Stuart Platkin, the show aimed to help individuals improve their health and well-being through education and lifestyle changes. Each episode of the show featured Platkin working closely with a different participant, who was often dealing with a range of health issues such as obesity, diabetes, or heart disease. The show's format centered around a 90-day challenge, during which Platkin provided personalized coaching and guidance to the participant in order to help them make sustainable changes to their diet, exercise routine, and overall lifestyle habits.

To assist with this process, Platkin enlisted the help of experienced personal trainers and nutritionists, such as Jesus Reyna and Caro Gonzalez. Together, they would develop a comprehensive plan for each participant, which typically involved cutting back on unhealthy foods, increasing physical activity, and incorporating more whole foods and vegetables into their diets.

Throughout the show, viewers were able to follow the progress of each participant as they took on the challenge and worked towards their health goals. Along the way, they also learned about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, as well as the many benefits that come with leading a healthier lifestyle.

One of the key elements of I Want to Save Your Life was the emphasis on making long-term lifestyle changes rather than focusing on short-term weight loss goals. As Platkin himself attested, "diets don't work," and the show's approach was centered around sustainable changes that could be maintained for a lifetime.

Overall, I Want to Save Your Life was an inspiring and informative show that aimed to educate viewers about the importance of healthy living. By following the journeys of the show's diverse participants, viewers were able to learn about the many challenges and triumphs that come with making positive changes to one's health, and hopefully gain the motivation and knowledge they needed to make similar changes in their own lives.

I Want to Save Your Life is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (8 episodes). The series first aired on April 25, 2009.
