After Patrick Northern lost his job, he and his family need motivation to get back on the right track. His wife, Kim, has taken on the role of sole breadwinner, causing a serious blow to Patrick's self-confidence. Meanwhile, his 14-year-old twins look to him for direction, and since Patrick lost his drive to get off the couch, so does his family. During Jillian's stay, the family gets active with a step competition, roller-skating, and they throw out a deep fryer that has attributed to their weight gain.

The Vivio clan is unlike any other family; all six family members are over six feet tall. Two years have past since disaster struck the Vivio family, when a bridge over their creek collapsed, damaging the father Mark's right knee, which led him to discover a threatening heart problem. With injuries preventing him from working, Mark was forced to close his roofing business and take a job as his youngest son Elijah's school bus driver. With the events of the past year, Elijah is also headed towards an unhealthy downward spiral. Jillian must rally the Vivios around Elijah and reverse the damage that has been done.

Dolores Plunkett and her daughter, Coralie, are two of three cultural leaders of their tribe, the Yavapai-Apache Nation. Both want to see a change in their family's unhealthy diet (the result of snacking and convenience), and to help improve the health of their tribe. Jillian travels to Camp Verde, Arizona and joins the family in a traditional Yavapai welcoming ceremony and Apache dancing and shows them that there are still ways to be traditional and stay healthy at the same time by roasting an agave plant and planting corn.

Part of a large, close-knit Cuban extended family, David Sr. and Carmen Alvarez have an obstacle in their way that they need to overcome. Their 9-year-old son, David Jr., is already pre-diabetic and on his way to health complications due to his weight. Unfortunately, David Sr. is also overweight, but he fails to see it as a problem that needs to be fixed, which proves to be a bad influence on his son who idolizes him. In order to help the family succeed, Jillian takes the parents on a boat to get them to open up about their health and lack of communication which hopefully will kick-start a new way of life for them.
