Katie is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Integrative Health Coach & accomplished public speaker. She’s a busy single mum, living and working in the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW, Australia. After completing her studies at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2016) and The Nutritional Therapy Association (2017) she founded Empowered Nutrition in Ballina.
Katie’s method is to empower her clients with the knowledge they need to make positive, lasting change.
Working with a wide variety of health conditions, she has a lot of experience working with restoring optimum digestive health in those suffering symptoms of indigestion, acid reflux, bloating and heartburn. Her focus is getting to the root cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms.
Her special interest is in working to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes. Yes, it is possible to reverse it! She has recently written a group program designed to get type 2s on the right path, which is available online and face to face. She is determined to play a big part in turning the tide on this epidemic of sugar-related disease, using whole, unprocessed foods through low carb, ketogenic diets, with the use of intermittent fasting where appropriate.
One of her favourite sayings is “Every bite you take is either fighting disease or feeding it”. It’s a great reminder that we have a lot of power in our health. The most powerful weapon we have in fighting disease is a fork! Katie offers a free discovery call to help you decide if she’s the right practitioner for you. She offers phone and Skype consults & classes, as well as face-to-face

In the last few years, I have developed a special interest and subsequent qualification in Low Carb Nutrition with Nutrition Network and Australasian College of Nutrition and Environment Medicine.
I have done extensive education with Low Carb Down Under and Nutrition Network. I am also affiliated with Diet Doctor, as a Diet Doctor Pro practitioner. I have done additional training with The Australasian College of Nutrition and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM)
I have now set up a Low Carb Clinic to help patients improve health and chronic diseases with nutrition.
I have treated many patients for weight management and helped them lose weight, improve nutrition and even reverse metabolic syndrome and diabetes. I have extensive knowledge using the low carbohydrate approach. I practice low-carb nutrition myself.
In my leisure time, I have taken up endurance running and strength training in the last few years and progressed to running 2 full marathons in the last 3 years, using the low carbohydrate approach.
Dr. Charlton will work with your regular GP, to help you improve health and nutrition, using a real food approach.
Shergill
Harley General Practice focusses on reducing the impact of diabetes, hypertension and obesity by improving your metabolic health.
At your first consultation we will assess what improvements we can help you achieve such as avoiding medication for hypertension through weight loss, reversing diabetes or avoiding becoming diabetic in the first place and reducing weight to improve how you look and feel.
If you are suitable for the programme we will provide you with biometric devices to monitor continuous blood glucose, periodic blood pressure and interval weight and body composition assessment. This will provide personal and precise measurements of your blood pressure, weight, visceral fat in a ‘real-time’ format. You will be monitored remotely to maximise your chances of success of meeting your objectives.
Nutrition and exercise will be tracked and optimised at 5 follow up appointments. These will be planned and agreed over the course of the year. We aim to work around your busy schedule to provide convenient consultations. There is an option to have these appointments via telephone or video call if it is difficult to make it to our offices.
