Finding Voice, #98

Sunday, July 28, 2013

If we have the strength to keep using our voices, we may have the chance to use it to help others—perhaps those who have no voice, or whose voices are not like ours. Our voice is our gift, and we can give it to others. Through the human voice, the breath of the world can flow.

This week, I speak with two women who are intimately acquainted with the power of speech for the episode “Finding Voice.” Listen to the full podcast below, or skip down to hear the full interviews with Judith Cornell and Cathy Plourde.

Viewpoint, #96

Sunday, July 14, 2013

As a physician, I’ve learned that viewpoint is everything, and everyone has a story to tell. Things are not always as they seem. We’re never entirely sure that what we see is reality, or what we hear is reality. So if you can have an open mind, and be compassionate, and listen to what we are told, or explore more what we think is going on around us, we’re certainly going to be better off in our own lives. We also treat those around us better, strengthening our ties to the community, and enhancing our interpersonal awareness.

This week on the Dr. Lisa Radio & Podcast, we explore the topics of perception, memory, and judgment. We talk to attorney Stephen Schwartz about bias in the courtroom, and how our memories can sometime deceive us. Next, we discuss both inner and outer realities with Jungian psychotherapist Dr. Stephen Aronson, who explains how these dual worlds can often be out of sync.

Interdependence, #95

Sunday, July 7, 2013

“Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency.” – Mahatma Gandhi

This Sunday, our show focuses on the concept of “Interdependence.” In Buddhism, there is another word for this idea: “interbeing.” Interbeing refers the relationship of individuals with one another, which is necessary for mutual coexistence. Whether we realize it or not, we are all “interbeing” with those around us. Our actions have a great effect on others; unkind words can hurt, a helping hand can change a life.

We are all interdependent, and interbeing. Always. The more independent we believes ourselves to be, the less likely this is the case. Happy Independence Day weekend to my fellow interdependent American beings. Thank you for reading.

Art & The American Cancer Society, #94

Sunday, June 30, 2013

Growth is normally considered a good thing. Gardens, plants, babies, even mutual funds grow, and when they do, we benefit. But there is another kind of growth as well. Cancer cells grow, and when they do, it causes destruction of the body, sometimes even of the self. Yet while cancer can lead to destruction—even, in the worst cases, death—it can also result in more growth.

Cancer patients may find themselves stronger and more resilient than they ever thought possible. They may finally tap into creative potential that had remained dormant until becoming necessary for their healing. In its own way, even this terrible destruction can lead to new life.

Maine Home + Design Show, #93

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Home. It’s a short word, but it means so much. It’s where we raise our children, make our sanctuary, find our peace, and support our community. Home is more than a place—it’s a state of mind. When we embrace people and places, when we call them ours, we become part of the landscape itself. Our contributions and our experiences help enrich our surroundings, just as our surroundings help to shape us. Every individual is a product of their surroundings, and every town, every home, is reflective of the people that have called it theirs.

Join the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour this Sunday, June 23, as for our discussion on the Maine Home + Design Show. We will talk about houses, homes, and landscapes, and what these places mean to us. Tune in on Sunday, or click on the link below to listen.

Sports Medicine, #92

Saturday, June 15, 2013

We all like to be part of the game. We strive to be part of the action, whether it’s through participating in team sports, diving headfirst into a cold Maine lake, or even just cheering on a favorite sports team. Athletics, like many aspects of modern life, is a highly personal pursuit. Some people naturally gravitate towards group sports, while others prefer more solo activities. For most of us, it is less about the win than it is about the game.

This week on the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour, we speak with a variety of guests involved in sports medicine and healing. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Herzog from Orthopedic Specialists, LLC, Jared Buzell and Stan Skolfield from Orthopedic Associates Performance Center, and Mike Chapman and Jim Greatorex from Premier Sports Health and Black Bear Medical will all be joining me in the studio.

Maine YogaFest, #91

Sunday, June 9, 2013

Fitness, like many things in life, is all about balance. Though I prefer running above all else—especially at this time of year, when the sun is rising earlier, the air is finally warmer—I like to balance my running with other activities. I’ve found that the best way to counter-balance the stress of running on the bones and muscles is yoga. It keeps me flexible, and it keeps me calm.

This week on the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour, tune in to hear guests Justine Carlisle, Dana Gunnerson Woodbury, and Regan Johnson, founders of Maine YogaFest, talk about this inspiring physical event. I will also be speaking with Carissa Ciucca, owner of Breathing Room Yoga, and Melanie Burns of Wicked Good Yoga.
