    Ep 73 - Keto After 60: 6 Months In – Clarity, Energy & 10kg Lost at 64

    In this uplifting episode of the Mood & Food podcast, chartered psychologist Andrew Bridgewater shares the profound changes he has experienced after six months of living a ketogenic lifestyle. At 64, Andrew describes feeling better than he did in his early forties — a stage of life that included significant mental health challenges. The physical results are clear: he has lost ten kilos almost effortlessly. Yet the deeper gifts have been even more transformative — sharper mental clarity, restorative sleep, steady energy throughout the day, and a quiet sense of wellbeing he had not known for more than two decades. He prefers the word “lifestyle” to “diet,” noting that the original Greek root of “diet” simply means a way of living. Far from deprivation, this approach has become a natural way of being that supports vitality rather than restricting it. Andrew explains how the ketogenic lifestyle helps reduce the risk of the conditions that often shadow later life: type 2 diabetes, dementia, certain cancers, stroke, heart disease, and ongoing mental health difficulties. At this stage of life, he says, those protections feel especially meaningful — which is why he created KetoAfter60.com and the free Facebook group of the same name. The episode also touches on a parallel decision made six years earlier: stopping alcohol. What once seemed essential for social ease and confidence turned out to be an illusion. Once Andrew recognised he was gaining no real benefit, the choice became straightforward. He draws on an insight from Tony Robbins — that a true decision means cutting yourself off from any other possibility — and shows how that same clarity has made the shift to keto feel surprisingly simple. Whether you are already living this way or simply keto-curious, Andrew invites you to explore the earlier episodes in which he documents his journey, and to join the growing, supportive community inside the free KetoAfter60 Facebook group. There is no cost and no pressure — only shared experience, practical encouragement, and people discovering that later life can feel lighter, clearer, and more energetic than they expected. If you're ready for more vitality, mental sharpness, and a practical path forward after 60, this episode offers both personal proof and a warm invitation to begin.

    Ep 72 - Keto After 60: The Simple Shift That’s Given Me Clarity, Energy & A New Lease of Life

    I’ve been living a ketogenic lifestyle for nearly five months and the results have been remarkable — over a stone (7kg) in weight lost, clearer thinking, better sleep, steady energy, and far less hunger. At 64 I realised how powerfully this approach can protect against the silent risks of fatty liver, type 2 diabetes and cognitive decline. In this episode I share my personal experience, the simple changes that made the biggest difference, and why I’m launching KetoAfter60.com — a practical hub with an audio course, resources and coaching designed especially for people over 60 who want to feel vibrant again.
