Why Cancer Rates Are Exploding (And What You Can Do) | Dr Anisha Patel

The Tom's Talks Podcast is a place where we speak to a vast array of people from different walks of life and find out what makes them them. We will speak about their unique journey and delve into the highs and the lows which ultimately define them.

What happens when a doctor suddenly becomes the patient?

In this powerful episode of Tom’s Talks, we sit down with Dr Anisha Patel — a GP, author, speaker, and bowel cancer survivor — who shares her deeply personal journey from diagnosis to recovery, and everything that came after.

At just 39 years old, Anisha was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer — despite having no obvious risk factors. What followed was a life-changing experience that reshaped her mindset, her career, and her mission.

This conversation goes far beyond cancer. It’s about resilience, perspective, mental health, and the small habits that could genuinely save your life.

This is one of those conversations that could change how you look at your health forever.
