Dr. Jessica Turton – ‘Low-Carb Diets For Type 1 Diabetes Management’
Dr. Jessica Turton is the Director of Ellipse Health and holds a PhD in nutrition awarded by the Faculty of Medicine and Health at the University of Sydney. Her thesis investigated the use and efficacy of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management, with a specific focus on type 1 diabetes. Dr. Turton conducted a clinical trial in collaboration with the CSIRO using a fully online delivery model which enabled Australia-wide participation. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and effect(s) of a nutritionally adequate low-carbohydrate diet on type 1 diabetes management outcomes.
Jessica has also co-authored several research articles in leading scientific journals, including “An Evidence-based Approach to Developing Low-carbohydrate Diets in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review” in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism. Jessica was invited to speak at the American Diabetes Associated Conference in June 2020 to present the evidence for low-carbohydrate diets and nutritional ketosis in the treatment of diabetes and obesity.
Jessica has a passion for working with individuals to identify the primary nutritional problems affecting their health and preventing them from reaching their goals. She was the recipient of the Charles Perkins Centre Summer Research Scholarship in 2016/17 where she was part of a team that conducted analyses to investigate the association of industry-funding and results in published studies examining the effect of whole-grain intake for cardiovascular disease prevention.
