Meet Dr Aileen Alexander

I want to empower my patients to become healthier, not just prescribe pills for illness.

I left the NHS in 2019 to practise medicine differently. To look beyond illness and understand the whole person, empowering my patients with the knowledge, support and confidence to take ownership of their health, prevent problems and live healthier, longer lives. You can't do that in a 10 minute appointment.

My story

I burned out as a junior doctor.

“I burned out as a junior doctor while juggling long shifts, chronic sleep deprivation and two young stepkids at home. What I came to learn is that sustainable health isn't about perfection. It's about understanding your body and making realistic, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life.”

“I knew what I needed to do. I understood the science completely. I still couldn't act on it. That taught me something no textbook did. Good health isn't about perfection. It's about understanding your body and making realistic changes that fit the life you actually have.”

“These days I'm a wife, a mum and a stepmum of three. I enjoy a glass of red wine and a good burger. Healthy living should be practical, balanced and something you can live with.”

Why I work this way

Your blood tests being “normal” doesn't mean they're normal.

Doctors are very good at saying you have diabetes, here are your tablets, but blood tests 1 point away from diabetes would be marked as “normal”. There's a huge gap between disease and truly thriving and most people are stuck there, not knowing who to ask for help.

That's what I've built my life's work upon since 2016. I do the bloods, the examination, the nutrition, the supplements and the behaviour change, because splitting those jobs between four people is why nothing changes.

My approach

Health is about balance

Don't worry, I'm not going to tell you to cut out carbs, fast or hit the gym at 5am. Good health is about balance and making small, sustainable changes over time.
