‘70lb Baby’ from Jerry Springer Show: Rare Genetic Condition Explained

Zach Strenkert, known as the “70lb baby,” appeared on The Jerry Springer Show in 1996 as a toddler. He suffered from Simpson-Golabi-Behmel Syndrome (SGBS), a rare genetic condition causing rapid growth.

According to MedlinePlus, SGBS leads to “infants being considerably larger than normal at birth and growing at an unusual rate.” Zach grew an inch and gained 2.5lb every few weeks as a child.

The episode remains iconic, watched even by people born after its release. Zach’s story highlights the challenges of living with a rare genetic disorder that impacts physical development.
