Changing A Nation

- Tonight on losing it I'm gonna make them do every single one that you're not.
We're gonna start over! - Native Americans have some of the highest numbers In terms of diabetes.
- That food is poison.
That's one of you that just quit.
- You could become part of that native American statistic.
- How long are you gonna let that stuff kill you? Up! - Yes! If you want to help an entire nation of people, It needs to start with you.
Why? Why don't you care? Why? - It's so hard to say no.
- To what? To diabetes? To cancer and to heart disease? To what? So what's it gonna be, you quitting too? - I'm learning to live living to learn starting to sing my song right or wrong learning to live - Just landed in Phoenix, Arizona, And I'm on my way to The Yavapai-apache Indian reservation.
I'm about to move in with the Plunkett-Marquez family.
There are three generations in this family That desperately need help Grandma Dolores, Mom Cora-lei Her husband Brian, Their son Brandon, And Cora-lei's sister, delight.
Diabetes is rife in the Yavapai-apache tribe, And these guys need some help right now.
- The history of our people Was that we were hunters and gatherers.
We roamed this land To gather our food and to hunt.
Today our people turn to those things that are unhealthy, And they've turned to the more modern style Of living.
You know, we've got obesity, We've got diabetes.
It's here in our community, And we're living with it every day.
- I was told I had diabetes.
I've had two heart attacks.
I had two stints put in.
I've had a stroke.
With my mom having diabetes, it's scary.
But I'm going in the same exact direction.
- Because I currently sit on the tribal council, People see me as their leader.
And if I can't take care of myself, Then how can I do that for my people? I am pleading, um, for Jillian to come.
- Native Americans, unfortunately, Have some of the highest numbers In terms of obesity and diabetes in this country.
Dolores, you've had type 2 diabetes With almost all the complications.
If we don't start changing it today, Then your beautiful family won't have you.
So delight, if you look at your height And your body build, There's an ideal or healthy weight for you, About 132 pounds.
But let's take a look at what your actual weight is.
Do you relate to your mom in this Or do you think that you're protected from it? - I know I'm not.
- Yeah.
- That's why it scares me.
- Brandon, we see you at about 158.
Let's look at what your current weight is.
In 15- to 19-year old native American children, We see a 68% increase in diabetes.
You're 15.
You could become part of that native American statistic.
Cora-lei, with your body and your build, There's an ideal weight, And that's about 120.
Let's look at your current weight.
We've talking about obesity here.
You have a high ldl.
Your blood sugar is just pushing those upper limits.
Did you know that? - I've never had the doctors tell me this, But I knew I was on my way.
And as a parent, you want to protect your child.
And all this time, I didn't realize That my son was so close To having the type of diseases That my mom has, and it's I wanna help him.
- Yeah.
- These genes are bad.
They're in your tribes, they're in your nation, But it can be changed.
- We're here.
- Careful, Dale.
- Hey there.
- I'm looking for Brian and Cora-lei.
- I'm Cora-lei.
- You are? - I'm so excited, I'm gonna cry.
- Oh, good.
Hi! How you doing? You have no idea how good it is to see you actually.
Hi there.
- My son Brandon.
- Hi, Brandon.
- This is my husband Brian in the red.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- This is my sister delight.
- Nice to meet you.
- And this is my mother Delores.
- Ah, yes.
I've heard a lot about you.
- I was humbled because all of our prayers Have come true, and now it's up to us To make the rest of it happen.
They're gonna roast an agave, So that's what the men are doing, Making sure they get it in the right spot So we don't burn it.
And it's gonna take four days to cook it.
- And why are you doing this now? - This is traditional, but there's a big gap Between the ancient times and now.
- Do you want to bring these things back? - Yes, we do.
- Wow, this is very cool.
So what am I doing here? 'cause I know I'm not on vacation.
- For me, it's more than just us standing here.
It's my community.
We see every day the effects of diabetes.
We see every day the effects Of not exercising and not being healthy.
And it's because we have lost connection With who we are.
And I think you being her Will bring light to a lot of things That we've forgotten.
- So let's see if we can't get you guys As healthy as possible And pay it forward to the rest of your people And bring them on this journey alongside of you.
You know? - That would be great.

- Cora-lei fell apart, delight fell apart.
We've seen it before, But Cora-lei wants to lead her people.
She's not even able to lead her family right now.
It's my first night here, And I'm staying at the lodge on the reservation.
Tomorrow I'm supposed to meet the rest of the tribe, And I guess then we'll see what I'm really up against.
And honestly, I don't know what to expect.
This is rough, and not only is this one rough, This is one that if you don't handle the right way, I mean, the whole world Is gonna jump down my throat for this one.
Coming up on losing it Fry bread.
What's fry bread? - We're gonna actually fry it in lard.
- What would happen if the fry bread left the building? Out of the mouths of babes.
- I swear, I'll throw it all over you.
- As long as that doesn't go in your body.
- Jillian, this is my sister-in-law Debra.
We call her "girl.
" And, girl, this is Jillian.
- Hi.
- So we're preparing for this party? - Yeah, what we would like to do, Jillian, Is welcome you to our community With traditional foods.
We're gonna be cooking some fry bread.
- Fry bread? What's fry bread? - We take our dough, and we're gonna actually Fry it in lard.
So are you up for that? - Okay.
I want to see this fry bread.
What's that, white flour? - Yep.
- Enriched, bleached.
- Can you tell me what that means? - Uh-uh.
- Well, when something is enriched, It means that they're adding vitamins Back into it.
Now if you have to add vitamins to something, That usually means that it's pretty darn bad for you.
Now what do you think it's bleached with? - Bleach.
- You wanna go do some laundry and have a cup together? - No.
- No.
Why is it that it think that your elders Probably didn't have enriched bleached flour? Am I crazy? - No, you're probably right.
But just about any Indian community, You're going to find fry bread.
- Why? - I think it goes back to our history And to when we were taken away from our traditional foods And we were given types of things Like blocks of cheese, blocks of lard, flour.
You know, and we've learned this along the way.
We've evolved into this.
We come from a people who were hunters and gatherers.
- Yes.
- And so we want to bring those back, But in a modern way.
You see what I'm trying to say? - I see perfectly what you're trying to say.
And fry bread is not only 100% not of your tradition, It is seemingly A representation of everything horrible That's ever happened to your people.
- And that is true.
- Then why? - We don't know any other way.
- Now I've seen what goes into this fry bread, And I'm trying to understand That it's a treasured part of their heritage.
What I'm not understanding Is why are you treasuring a part of your heritage That's killing your people? Look how happy they are to see me.
If only they knew what I'm about to put you through.
- Well, to begin, I'd like to welcome you out, The community members of the Yavapai-apache nation.
As we were at the Fields roasting agave, This Tahoe came pulling up, And then, like a little whirlwind, Jillian jumps out of the Tahoe.
I knew my prayers were answered.
The creator has sent us an angel, And I am praying that everything Our family is able to take in this week, That we can give it to all Of the community members.
So I just want everybody to welcome her Into our community.
It's not every day You have somebody as special as Jillian Come into your community.
And there's a lot of excitement in the air and happiness.
- Songs have been sung, dances have been done, And I don't think I've ever been received So graciously in my whole life.
But this is gonna be really tough, Because there are deep cultural things That I'm ignorant about, But my intentions are the best.
- Elders first! Elders! Oh, and here's homemade salsa.
Come on, elders first.
- Looking around, And everybody's obese.
90%.
Meantime, we're out there dishing out fry bread.
I'm watching the little ones "Na Na Na Na" On the fry bread.
It's killing them.
You want a tortilla, don't you? - Oh, you scared me.
- No, no, no, no, just the tortilla.
- No, I want both.
- No, tortilla.
- No.
- What would happen if the fry bread left the building? Let's see.
I'm done with it, Cora-lei.
I'm dumping.
- They're watching you.
- Out of the mouths of babes.
Oh, boy.
Gonna be a long week.
- No! - Are you serious? - I saved some.
- Give it.
- I swear, I'll throw it all over you.
- As long as that doesn't go in your body.
Oh, pfft.
Well, maybe you'll live longer, kid.
I hope it was worth it.
Ugh.
Well Ugh, think we're making some progress.
- What happened to the fry bread? - Jillian came in and made the change.
- You know, tradition teaches us That you don't throw food away.
In the Indian way, It's difficult to see that happen.
- I just hope that they realize That, you know, she didn't mean it To be insulted.
- How you holding up? - You know, I have to say that was quite an experience.
Our ways and our belief Is we don't waste.
And we kind of felt, like, Are you crazy? Are you insane? And it was a lot to have to take in so quickly.
- Gosh, buddy, I'm sorry.
But how long are you gonna let that stuff kill you? You asked me to come here, right? - Yes.
- And today, you were in tears About your people being unhealthy.
I don't know how to tell you this Anymore clearly.
- Mm-hmm.
- That food is poison.
It's the reason that your people have diabetes.
It's a big part of it.
- Mm-hmm.
- So I'm gonna throw it away And know that at least people Are gonna think about it tonight.
- Mm-hmm.
I guess - It killed enough of you, didn't it? - Yes.
Yes, it has.
- Okay, we've had a long day.
- Yes.
- I know you're a little shaken up.
So we'll get some sleep.
- Okay.
- And tomorrow's a new day.
- All right.
- Seems as though the fry bread in the trash Food throwing incident Has whipped up a bit of controversy, Which is just what you need When you have a really tender, touchy situation Like this one.
Coming up on losing it Come on, you got it.
They're all obese.
Eight! Are these guys willing to do what it takes? Nine! - These people need a leader.
- Ten! - All the way up, go.
Go! Come on, go! - Welcome the Marquez and the Plunkett family! - Well, they're all obese, Morbidly obese.
And are these guys open to making real change? And I need to find that out.
- Come in! Ah, it's time.
- Hello there.
How's everyone this morning? Holding up? - Yeah.
Yeah.
- We're excited and - Nervous.
- Nervous, okay.
Question for you.
I was wondering if you would be open To having Dr.
Van Herle come out And speak to the nation about how to prevent diabetes In their home.
- I think that is a great idea.
- You do? - Mm-hmm.
- Good, because I already printed up flyers.
I asked her to come out, and she's on her way.
It's a very short flight from Los Angeles.
- This is a nice day to walk.
Nice, cool breeze.
- We're having a meeting this evening About how to prevent diabetes in your family.
- So if you guys aren't doing anything at 4:30, We'd love for you to come out And hear what she has to say.
- Cora-lei, who's this little guy? - I don't know who he belongs to.
Poor thing.
- He's homeless? - How to prevent it? What if we already have it? - Well, she'll explain more of it to you.
- This being done so quickly, I would just have to wait and see what the turnout is.
I'm excited.
- I want that dog.
- Testing, testing.
Testing.
More testing? - Oh, boy.
- Okay, we're tested.
- In the tribe - There's 2,000 people in the tribe.
- We got some we got some work to do.
- Hi, everyone, welcome.
- Am I gonna be able to help The Plunkett-Marquez family and mobilize a nation? It doesn't look awesome, Especially with that diabetes turnout.
That was a real whopping success.
I'm so glad I made van Herle Come all the way out from Los Angeles for that one.
These people need this.
They need this.
Here we go.
Nice light jog.
Pace ourselves.
We're gonna take it bit by bit, okay? You have a big job ahead of you.
Just changing our own lives is enough for one person, But you wanna galvanize a nation of people.
Gotta use your voice.
The fry bread incident was a disaster.
The diabetes meeting was a disaster.
And it's clear to me now These people need a leader, And I have to change one person Before I can change a nation.
Nice pace, perfect.
Move your hips.
And shoot.
Good, there we go.
Three more, up! yes! Two more.
Go, like that.
Rip it! Yeah, there you go.
One more, go.
- Wrap this around your neck.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Watch your head.
It's about 80 pounds.
- Oh, my.
- Lean back, touch my leg.
Touch my leg.
Tough my leg.
And I know it's heavy.
Touch my leg, touch my leg.
Go.
Let me hear your voice! come on, go! come on, you got it.
- Six.
- Louder, go.
- Seven.
- Louder.
Eight! Go.
Nine! - Come on, pull.
- Ten.
- All the way up, go.
Go.
That's right.
That's my life right there.
80 pounds of heartache, Misery, pain.
That's my life.
- Talk to me.
Talk to me.
- That was so empowering.
- A smart leader Surrounds herself With the strongest, smartest allies possible.
They'll have the knowledge that she doesn't.
They'll have strength where she's weak.
A smart leader isn't afraid To ask for help.
- Thank you.
I'm realizing that I have to be strong first, Because I have to be the one to lead by example Before I can perpetuate it out to anybody else.
You know, it has to be Cora-lei.
And today, I felt it.
- Cora-lei is breaking through.
She's ready to take this on.
But she's gonna need people that will fight Alongside of her.
Coming up on losing it What are you feeding that four-year-old? - Junk.
- Do they want to change? Why is everyone so apathetic? If they don't, then you're outta business.
Why? Why don't you care? Why? - It's so hard to say no.
- To what? To diabetes? To cancer and to heart disease? To what? - Welcome the Marquez and the Plunkett family! - In our day care, We have Ophelia.
- Hello again.
- Hi there.
- So we are here about, you know, your walking program, And how we can help you.
- Sounds good.
It sounds really good to start it back up again.
It was unfortunate that it came to a stop.
- Why? - When I started it four years ago, We started it with no money.
- Why do you need money? If you don't mind me asking.
- Well, what we did is we provided incentives.
- Couldn't it just be every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, We go walking? - What would be wonderful if we could do that.
- But the first trick is to get them there.
- Okay, well, what about starting this this Saturday? Making it kind of a new beginning? Is that possible? - It's happened before, And I know it can happen again.
- And if you can think of any other people That can join you in this kind of endeavor, 'cause you guys gotta stick together.
- We're known to do amazing things.
- We can do it.
- Here's where the disconnect is though.
Do they want to change? 'cause if they don't, Then you're out of business.
- So what's this all about tomorrow? - Are you serious? You don't know? - Nobody tells me anything.
- We went to Ophi, and we said That we need to get her to do the just move it program again.
- Oh.
- And so now we're Trying to get everybody to come out tomorrow To do this big epic walk to kinda - Start it off.
- Yes.
- Oh! Can I give you a flyer? - Will you come out and walk with us tomorrow? - I'm inviting you to walk with us tomorrow.
I'm putting one in here.
- The dachshund's like this, "and another thing, stay out!" yeah, okay.
- So who's your family? - Me, my son, and my boyfriend.
- How old's your son? - He's four.
- You have a four-year-old son? What are you feeding that four-year-old? - Junk.
- Have you looked around here? It's almost like a mass suicide.
You're gonna add your four-year-old to that statistic? - I don't want to.
Just need to change it up.
I just have to make my body get used to it.
I have to force myself, is what I need to do.
- I'm going to have a meltdown.
What is going on here? Why is everyone so apathetic? "I don't know, maybe.
I don't know, it's so hard.
I'm not sure.
" You are not healthy, okay? You've got to be at least 50 to 75 pounds overweight.
You got a four-year-old.
You just told me you're feeding him junk.
What's it gonna take? What is it going to take? My God, what is it going to take? Why? Why don't you care? Why? - It's so hard to say no.
- To what? To diabetes? To cancer and to heart disease? To what? What is so hard to say no to? Donuts? What? Tell me.
Why don't you care? - It's not that I don't care.
- Tell me.
- I need somebody to show me these things.
- Okay.
- I need somebody to come and show me these I don't know these things.
- Okay.
- Crap, that's all I've done is that food, the junk.
It's what I've known.
- Okay.
- So it's hard to change it When you don't know how to change these things.
- Okay, I promise, I swear to God I will teach you.
I will teach you on the phone every single day, In the middle of the night If that's when it has to happen.
That's easy.
But you have to want to change.
Do you want to change? - I do.
I want it so bad.
- That's all you have to do.
- I hate this.
I hate it.
- Okay.
All right, but it's gonna require The desire to make it different.
If you believe in your ability to do it, It will happen.
Get a grip on this.
Get a grip on this, and make it happen.
- Wow, Jillian.
- How's it going? - Hello again.
- Good to see you again.
- Likewise.
Mr.
Decker, he's one of the tribal elders.
And I'm hoping to get some idea of, quite honestly, I mean, what are the ramifications Of the other night? I'm sorry for offending your people With the fry bread, But I would say that what was thrown away is not food It's poison and that what's really being wasted Are your people's lives.
- I understand.
- Don, as our elder, Can you help me get that message out To our people that fry bread Isn't part of who we are? - Well, I'll tell you what, ever since that happened, There's been quite a buzz in the community Regarding this incident.
And there's some people that are saying, "you know what, fry bread, we don't need fry bread.
" You know? That kinda food is not healthy.
I wanna thank you for that, for I just think if you hadn't of thrown that fry bread away, No one would be talking about it.
But there is the buzz in this community here That you've created a monster.
- Well, we've been talking about rallying up the troops To get the word out on the walking program.
- Well, I'll tell you what, It's gonna take, really, just a few key people.
- I think it just starts with a small group, And then eventually it'll grow.
- I can assure you that we're gonna do something About our overweight people.
- This is my final night here, And tomorrow is my last day.
It's the walk.
And if no one shows up tomorrow, It's kinda gonna be a disaster actually, Because that's symbolic Of everything we're trying to do here.
- Today is the day we're gonna walk.
And you know what, we're gonna make one last push, Because I never say die.
- Yavapai-apache nation community members! We need your support! Come to heritage park at 10:30 And walk with us! - Let's get these guys.
- Hey, you kids! Let's get to the park at 10:30! Let's walk together! All right, let's go! Matt, we're walking at 10:30 at the park.
Let's go.
Go to the park.
- All right, I'm there! - All right, Matt.
Take care.
He's there.
- I'm gonna tell you right now That if people don't show up for this, I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown.
- Nobody's coming.
- Is it possible That this is getting some traction? Holy crap, is this working? My gosh, is something gonna actually work out this week? - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- Take the floor.
- Community members, friends, and family, Thank you for taking the first step.
Today is the beginning of your life As we begin to inspire one another To become healthy, And I applaud you as I stand up here.
Let's walk.
- Let's walk! Okay, I think we hit that hundred.
- I think we did today.
- I'm feeling supremely confident.
How 'bout yourself? - It feels good.
- It feels real good.
- My community, they weren't walking behind me.
They weren't walking in front of me.
We were walking side-by-side.
And it was just a remarkable feeling, And I feel like we've accomplished something.
- Okay, Brandon, You gotta spring ahead and run back.
You gotta lead the young ones in a sprint.
- No, that's messed up.
- No, you gotta do it.
Run down to the car and back.
- My pants are gonna fall down.
- Come on! - Uh-oh, you're winning.
No! Come on! Feeling pretty good about this walk.
It's a first step.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Pretty hopeful.

- Yavapai-apache! Go! Go! - Okay, community members, friends, family, How do you feel? I can't hear you! How do you feel? - I love that.
- So Jillian, any closing remarks? - Just one thing.
I have a website called jillianmichaels.
Com, And on it, it creates personalized recipes for you, Meal plans, It makes workouts for you.
There's all different kinds of tools.
And what I wanna do is give a free membership To every single person in your entire nation.
So I really hope that you use it, Because you deserve it.
- I just have one closing thing.
Jillian will be back in six weeks.
- Oh, yeah, forgot that.
- And if I'm taking a challenge That I have to do something for me in six weeks, I'm gonna throw that challenge Out to every single one of you.
So when she comes back, She sees a change in our community Where we are all happy and proud of ourselves.
So take that challenge with me.
'cause in six weeks, she'll be back.
She's got all of our faces on camera.
- I realize that this isn't gonna be about Coming back and seeing the entire nation transformed.
It's gonna be a grassroots movement, And you're gonna see leaders emerge And possibilities become realities In time.
I've given the Plunkett-Marquez family All the information and tools they need to change.
And now it's up to them.
- Here we.
I'm open and ready, But my body's saying, "hold on a minute.
Step back.
" - I've lost six pounds, And I'm, like, really tied.
- It takes a lot out of me.
