Today I turn 60. Here's what the last decade taught me

Ten years ago, I looked older than I do right now (well that’s what I’m told). That's not arrogance, that's metabolic health in action.

When I shifted my focus to fibre and protein, moving toward a more ketogenic approach rather than loading up on carbs, everything changed. Not overnight, but consistently. More energy. Clearer thinking. Better recovery. And yes, according to those around me, I actually look younger now than I did at 50.

Here's the thing, this isn't about vanity or chasing some anti-aging miracle. It's about what happens when you give your body the right fuel. When you prioritise protein for muscle maintenance and repair. When you increase fibre for gut health and satiety. When you reduce the blood sugar rollercoaster that comes from carb-heavy eating. Your body responds. It thrives. The inflammation drops. The energy stabilises.

The decades start working in your favour instead of against you. I just made different choices about what I put on my plate. Choices that all Clubwell members can make today, tomorrow, next week. The food industry wants you to believe that aging means declining, that your 50s and 60s mean less energy, more medication, acceptance of "normal" deterioration. That's rubbish. You control this process more than you've been led to believe.

Your action today: You don't need to overhaul everything at once. Just start noticing. Then start choosing differently.
