Dr Avi Charlton

Founder of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic

Dr Avi Charlton graduated from Melbourne University in 2000 and has been a General Practitioner since 2003.   In the last few years, she has taken up special interests in nutrition and the treatment of obesity and metabolic syndrome, and founded the Melbourne Low Carb Clinic in October 2022, a GP specialist clinic established to promote healthy nutrition and lifestyle. 


Dr Charlton also offers online courses to help patients with education on nutrition and lifestyle.   Dr Charlton has done additional training with The Australasian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM) and is now accredited as a Metabolic Health Practitioner with The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP).   


Dr Charlton has treated many patients for weight management and helped them lose weight, improve their understanding of nutrition, and even assisted them to reverse metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Her extensive knowledge of using the low carbohydrate approach to diet has allowed her to assist her patients to have a real breakthrough in this area and she also practices low carb nutrition herself.   


In her leisure time, she has taken up endurance running and strength training and in the last few years has progressed to running 2 full marathons, attributing the low carbohydrate diet approach to her success.   Dr Charlton will assist you and if preferred work with your regular GP to help you to improve health and nutrition, using a real food approach.
