Discovery Life Channel konzentriert sich auf nonfiktionale Programme rund um Gesundheit, Medizin und persönliche Veränderung. Die Inhalte begleiten häufig medizinisches Fachpersonal in Notaufnahmen, Operationssälen und anderen klinischen Hochrisikobereichen in den gesamten Vereinigten Staaten. Der Sender zeigt auch dokumentarische Serien über seltene medizinische Erkrankungen, Gewichtsverlust-Reisen und von gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen geprägte Familiendynamiken. Reality-basierte Sendungen über Geburten, Traumaversorgung und Rehabilitation sind üblich, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf echten Menschen in realen Lebenssituationen liegt, nicht auf inszenierten Dramen.

Ausgewählte Episoden und komplette Serien sind auf Abruf über teilnehmende TV-Anbieter-Apps und digitale Plattformen verfügbar. Das Programm des Senders wird in den üblichen TV-Programmführern aufgelistet, wobei neue Episoden typischerweise zur Hauptsendezeit ausgestrahlt werden.
