Avi Charlton

Dr Avi Charlton is an Australian-based family doctor with over 20 years of experience. Her passion for lifestyle medicine comes from her journey. A few years ago, feeling overweight, tired, and balancing life with young kids, a patient mistakenly asked if she was pregnant. Determined to make a change, she joined a gym challenge, following a prescribed diet from her trainer and incorporating running. This sparked a transformation—she lost weight, regained energy, and embraced a healthier lifestyle. Inspired by her success, Dr. Charlton founded the Melbourne Low Carb Clinic, where she helps patients lose weight, reverse type 2 diabetes, and reduce medications through sustainable nutrition and lifestyle changes. She has seen remarkable improvements in her patients’ health, showing that natural solutions can lead to lasting results. Her interest in breathing techniques led her to become a certified Functional Breathwork Instructor and Breathwork Facilitator. She now integrates breathwork into her practice to help patients manage anxiety, stress, and overall well-being. In 2024, she launched Breathe In Health, offering coaching, workshops, and retreats to promote functional breathing. Dr Charlton also hosts Prescribing Lifestyle, a podcast educating listeners about the importance of lifestyle changes and featuring inspiring interviews. Passionate about empowering others, she is dedicated to helping patients thrive through holistic, practical approaches to health.
