We talk a lot about reconnecting with our ancestors through kapa haka and te reo Māori, and that mahi matters. But there's another side to who they were.

They were lean and strong. They ate good kai from the whenua and the moana, they didn't eat all day, and they moved to gather their food.

We live in a different world now, so we have to adapt. That means being selective about what we put on our plates and getting as close as we can to a tūpuna diet.

Reconnecting with our ancestors isn't only something we learn. It's something we live. 💪🏽

Kei te tūnga o te Tōtara tēnā koutou!

Ready to take the next step after Fit Whātua? 🌿

We're opening applications for a 30-member hauora pilot in partnership with Autonomy Health. It's a small group journey built around movement, good kai and whānau connection.

Here's how it works:
1️⃣ Fill in the application form: https://survey.autonomy.health/zs/AiB4UW (or scan the QR code in this post)
2️⃣ A doctor at Autonomy Health checks the programme would be safe for you
3️⃣ A selection committee chooses the 30 participants

If you're accepted, you'll hear from us by Friday 30 October 2026. We'll then go through a full consent form with you before anything starts. Nothing is final until then.

❓ Pātai? Flick us a message

Kia ū, kia toa. 💪🏽

Kua kī pohapoha te kete wairua i te rangi nei. 🌿

Fit Whātua was never just about the workout or the kai. Real hauora is whānau standing shoulder to shoulder. It's kaumātua and tamariki moving together. It's neighbours catching up over a plate of good food, and a community choosing to show up for each other.

Movement feeds the tinana. Good kai fuels us. But it's connection that fills the wairua.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who came through and made today what it was. To Hina and the FitFam crew, Wiki and Ngahere to Plate, our stallholders, sponsors, and every whānau member who turned up: you are the kaupapa.

This is just the beginning. 💪🏽

Our Tumu Whakarae hosted a very special guest today, Dame Farah Palmer, in her capacity as Pou Akonga at Massey University. The northern campus sits on the south east corner of our rohe that Te Taoū shares with Kawerau a Maki. We are rebuilding our relationship with the University seeking alignment on research needs, student academic and vocational opportunities to help South Kaipara advance in real terms. Ngārimu couldn’t resist taking the Dame who is a multi Rugby World Cup winning Black Ferns captain to Helensville Rugby Club for a photo and to discuss all things women’s rugby too!
