3 Holistic Lessons I Learnt From A Doctor
Cancer is a word that often evokes fear and overwhelm, but what if the lessons we learn about health from cancer can teach us something valuable about life itself? This week on Millennial Mind, I sit down with Dr. Ranj, NHS clinician, author, and columnist, to discuss the critical importance of early detection, overcoming cultural stigmas, and how education empowers us to act rather than fear.
In this episode, I share my top three holistic life lessons from our conversation that extend far beyond health, applying them to relationships, careers, and personal growth. Whether it’s learning to identify warning signs early, having tough but necessary conversations, or understanding that knowledge is power and these insights can positively change your life.

With statistics showing that one in two people will likely get cancer in their lifetime, this conversation emphasises why recognising early signs such as unexplained weight loss, excessive night sweats, new lumps, or persistent skin changes is vital for better outcomes.
