Avi Charlton

I am a General Practitioner doctor in Melbourne, Australia. I have developed a special interest in lifestyle medicine, nutrition and now breathing.

I founded Melbourne Low Carb Clinic, a General Practice clinic to promote healthy nutrition and lifestyle. Having been a doctor for over 20 years, I have extensive experience in family practice and the management of chronic diseases. In the last few years, I have done extensive education in lifestyle and nutrition. I am affiliated with Low Carb Down Under, Diet Doctor, and accredited as a Metabolic Health Practitioner with The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP).

I have also developed an interest in breathing through the work of treating patients with improving lifestyle and nutrition. I undertook the Functional Instructor Training course so I could incorporate Functional breathing training into clinical practice. I can educate widely about nutrition, and lifestyle, using breathing techniques, and mindfulness practice.

Recreationally, I am an avid runner and have run 2 full marathons and walked 100km Oxfam challenge. I have incorporated functional breathing into my physical training and reaped the benefits.

I offer face-to-face and online consultations through my clinic. I also offer online courses and membership that can be purchased through my website. I am also highly active in social media.
