Kai and Connection

At FastTrack Kai ā Nuku, we believe that food is more than just fuel. It is a way to connect, to share, and to thrive as a community.

Grouned in evidence-based science, Blue Zone principles, and the Mātauranga of Aotearoa, our approach to kai supports both personal well-being and the health of Papatūānuku (the earth). Beyond nutrition, our kaupapa is about fostering positive relationships and building a stronger, more connected community through the power of shared meals, learning and cooking.

Kai as a Connector & FTKAN in the community
Food is at the heart of human connection. Whether it’s gathering around the table with whānau, sharing a meal with colleagues, or coming together at community events, kai has the power to connect us.
We are proud to bring FastTrack Kai ā Nuku to workplaces, local groups, and individuals seeking a sustainable, plant-centered approach to eating. Through our 12-week experience, we support in making lasting lifestyle changes with resources such as seasonal meal plans, Health Coach-led education sessions, and education. More importantly, we create a space for people to connect, learn, and grow together on their health journeys.

Seasonal Eating and Shared Resources
We support initiatives that encourage seasonal eating, making healthy food choices more accessible and sustainable (and cheaper!). We strongly encourage the use of, and getting involved with community shared gardens and pantries.These are just some practical ways for whānau to incorporate plant-based eating into their lives while strengthening community ties and making fresh kai more available.

Education and Whānau-Centered Well-being
Our programme is designed to work with whānau. We place a strong emphasis on education, empowering people with knowledge about nutrition and how it can lower the risk of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and pain.

A Lifestyle, Not a Diet
FastTrack Kai ā Nuku is not about restrictions; it’s about abundant health. Our fundamentals promote a 90% plant-centered way of eating, celebrating the goodness of whole foods while embracing flexibility.

At its core, FastTrack Kai ā Nuku is about more than food; it’s about whanaungatanga (relationships) and hauora (well-being). By making kai a shared experience, we strengthen our bonds and create a ripple effect of positive change.

Whether it’s through a workplace wellness programme, online recipe access, or a simple meal shared with loved ones, every step towards a more plant-focused lifestyle is a step towards a healthier, more connected world.

All meals are tried and tested by our rigorous taste testers - only the best make it to you.
