Why do the Program?
This program is FREE for the staff (and their whanau at home) of Kōhanga Reo based in the lower North Island, Te Upoko o te Ika.

The purpose of the trust is to change the environment of our children by educating the whanau and their mentors around them. When i went through my own transformation losing 75kg and beating the diseases that come with being morbidly obese, my environment changed, as did my kids environment. Looking back through our photos when I was over weight, we were all overweight. And as I educated myself, it rubbed off on to my kids and we all changed. And as I educated thousands online with my program I noticed the same things happening to all the whanau.

The Te-Kakano 12 week online program is based on the four principles of Māori health "Te Whare Tapa Wha" - Sir Mason Durie. The 12 week program consists of tools that support the four pillars of Māori health - Taha Tinana (Physical) Taha Wairua (Spiritual) Taha Whanau (Family) Taha Hinengaro (Mental) Health. Nutrition is a big part of the program, we look at the evolution of disease in indigenous people and the links food has on us. Daily exercise and movement is another main focus for both physical and mental health. Other topics include, yoga, hot and cold exposure, weight training and the importance of sleep.

What’s in the Program?
Individual Ketogenic nutrition plans are made specific to YOU and the information you provide for me via an online form. The majority of my clients (and me) use a High Fat, Low Carb or ketogenic way of eating. I have found it the fastest way to lose fat and keep it off. Throughout the program I will teach you about getting into ketosis so we are using fat to fuel our body. This, combined with intermittent fasting, has successfully stripped the fat off me and my clients without having to adopt a deprivation mindset. This way of eating is enjoyable, nourishing and sustainable.

Home Workouts
As you go through the program your body will get fitter and lighter, and we need to stay in front of these changes so we continue to make progress. Every four weeks I supply you with a new exercise program to complete in the comfort of your own home.

Sunday online Zoom group meetings
I consider these are the most important. We talk about the ketogenic diet and how our bodies use fat as fuel. We also cover other aspects of training. I am there to answer any questions you might have, but also there is a lot to be said for accountability. Many of my clients find this component of the program contributes to their continued progress and commitment.

Online contact via Facebook Messenger
Day or night, fire through any questions or comments you might have, and I will get back to you ASAP. This is a big part of the program, as each Sunday Zoom sessions video is posted up in here in case you miss any of the calls. Plus each day i will be motivating you to keep exercising and eating the right things, plus answering any questions you might have.
