Dr Preeya Alexander

Practicing GP, Mum of Two, Podcast Host, Author & TV Presenter

As both a doctor and mum of 2, Preeya is passionate about sharing accurate health information and empowering people to make informed decisions around their health. Preeya is a practicing general practitioner (GP) in metropolitan Melbourne and in 2015 was awarded the Richard Clinton Gutch medal for the highest overall score in general practice exams in the state of Victoria. Preeya has authored several books including the children’s book Rainbow Plate, Eat Sleep Play Love (a practical evidence-based parenting book for caregivers of children aged 0-2), and the cookbook Full Plate. Preeya has also been awarded the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential, having done additional training in this area.

Preeya uses her social media platform, podcast, and blog to combat health misinformation and deconstruct complex medical topics to make them digestible. She hosts the popular “Happy to Health with Dr Preeya” podcast and previously co-hosted 2 series of the cooking show Good Chef Bad Chef on Channel 10. Preeya has found a way to combine her passion for medicine and her role as an educator to become a shining example of the qualified “expert influencer.”

Preeya has been featured as an expert on Sunrise, hosted 2 Catalyst episodes on ABC, and regularly appeared on ABC’s The Drum. She also appears regularly on ABC NewsRadio & Nova FM as a health expert and contributes to publications such as Mamamia, and Body and Soul.

Aside from her work as a GP, Preeya is passionate about gardening (particularly managing the the family veggie patch), cooking, and travelling (preferably somewhere warm with kid-friendly restaurants and awesome food!).

Preeya is available for TV and podcast hosting, expert medical commentary, keynote speaking, media campaigns, and brand partnerships.
