Dr. Lucy Burns - 'The Hormonal Approach To Treating Obesity'

Dr. Lucy Burns is a GP in based in Frankston just south of Melbourne, Australia. She graduated from Monash Medical school in 1993 and received her fellowship with the RACGP in 1998. She also has a diploma of obstetrics, a certificate in clinical hypnosis and has board certification as a lifestyle physician with ASLM.

Lucy worked in general practice whilst having her children until 2005, and then worked for the dept of Defence at HMAS Cerberus as a civilian medical officer for 13 years. During that time she noticed a large increase in obesity in the current serving members and the new recruits.

Lucy discovered Keto like many people after years of yoyo dieting. She found that as she got older following the standard low fat style of dieting was unsustainable and unsuccessful. Another Dr friend introduced her to keto and she was hooked. A year later she opened her low carb general practice clinic called 'Epiphany Medical Weight Loss'. Her strong belief is to empower people to manage their health through nutrition and the low carb way of living.

When she isn’t doctoring, Lucy lives with her husband, 2 teenage daughters, 2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 horses, 4 ducks, 3 frogs a goat and a miniature cow.
