Your low carb GP in the West

Olivia studied medicine at Monash University and has over 10 years experience in all areas of general practice.  As a Type 1 Diabetic herself for over 20 years, she has a special interest in the use of a low carbohydrate lifestyle to assist in the management of chronic diseases and metabolic health issues such as:

• Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
• High blood pressure
• Obesity
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Fibromyalgia and inflammatory joint disease
• Migraine
• Reflux/indigestion
• Fatty liver disease

She has recently spent time in the United Kingdom, working primarily in health screening and health prevention, researching the benefits of a low carbohydrate or ‘ketogenic’ diet in the management of a range of chronic health conditions.

Olivia has found that following a low carbohydrate lifestyle has drastically improved her diabetes management and has helped her to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. She is now passionate about working collaboratively with her patients, including adults and children with Type 1 Diabetes, to improve their health and wellbeing through low carbohydrate lifestyle changes.

Olivia is also the mother of twin boys and enjoys travelling, cycling and learning adult ballet – proving that it is never too late to fulfil your childhood dream of being a prima ballerina!
