Hello I am Dr Millie, your podcast host. Have you ever wondered how to live a longer, healthier life?
As a doctor, author and co-founder of iOWNA (a mobile health app), my purpose in life is to help people answer this question and enable them to live longer, healthier lives. This is at the centre of everything that I do.
Aside from the provision of excellent medicine, embracing the best scientific discoveries and adopting a healthy lifestyle myself I get so many tips on the different ways to achieve healthy longevity by speaking to a range of people from all walks of life. I enjoy exploring different perspectives on life, and want to share tips with you all on how to live a longer, healthier life.
In my first series, The Art of Healthy Longevity, I share the wisdom of artists and people who love art; many are notable doctors. In my second series,The Art of Living I take a deeper dive into role models to learn how they live their lives to the optimum

A photograph captures a moment in time preserving a memory forever. The photographic exhibit Hold Still by HRH Duchess of Cambridge is an example of how photography can ensure we don’t forget what’s important in life.
As we emerge from the pandemic, we bring our first series of Live Longer: The Podcast to a close, with conversations with a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist and eminent doctors and surgeons who use photography to enhance their own lives and that of their patients.
In episode 11 of the series, Prof Furnham told us that of all the various artistic disciplines, photographers live longest. In my conversation with Dan White, I discover why this is so. This episode also sets us up for the finale of season 1 of Live Longer: The Podcast.
Toby Tanser runs with destiny. An appropriate book title for a true changemaker.
As a professional athlete, fundraiser, philanthropist, author and extraordinary visionary, Toby’s art of living is to see what children less fortunate than most need to live longer healthier lives and with selfless devotion take action to meet their needs.
Access to healthcare is key to preventing poverty and giving children the best chance in life.
Toby has run with legends like Sir Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe MBE and worked with musicians like singer songwriter Alicia Keys to set up schools and hospitals for children in need in Africa .
“9 out of 10 children with cancer in Africa will die. I want to do something about that” Toby Tanser
Do digital solutions enhance care and make patients and clinicians lives better? The answer is yes. Especially when deployed in a sustainable, collaborative way working with teams at the front line of care delivery.
It is important to develop easy to use, secure tools that save time on repetitive tasks to free up more time for those that need it.
One digital and key pathway at Milton Keynes University Hospital saves hours each week of nurses' time and reduces patient waiting lists. Join me as I chat to Nicola Daly RN, trailblazer and Advanced Nurse Practitioner at Milton Keynes University Hospital, creating a bridge between traditional and digital healthcare.

Join me in conversation with Christopher Wilkinson, OBE, an eminent and award winning architect and artist who has designed many notable buildings, but Maggie’s Centre, Oxford, for cancer sufferers is his most proud achievement.

Donald uses art in his day to day work to improve patient outcomes as he gives people function back in their hands. In his work in Nepal with leprosy sufferers where some of his patients live hand to mouth, regaining hand function is vital to their survival.
Donald teaches his students to see not just look and to listen not just hear their patients. These are key skills to enable our patients to obtain improved outcomes and live longer healthier lives. Join me as I support his Working Hands' charity to bring life back to hands of those less fortunate than many of us.

Join me in conversation with Dan White, a Pulitzer prizewinning photojournalist, who has captured the essence of many people from the jazz musicians of Kansas City to Professor Stephen Hawking at Cambridge University, from behind his lens. Dan thinks the biggest thing we can all learn from a photographer is how to look a little more deeply as we wander through our lives. He tells us to look where the light is to see the beauty around us.

He tells us how art, especially music is necessary and accessible for both the patient and clinician to live a longer, healthier life.
‘Asking questions helps us move forward’ - Professor David Isenberg
