Radio Maine is a weekly podcast that listens carefully to the people of Maine. Each episode brings host Dr. Lisa Belisle into conversation with an entrepreneur, educator, physician, artist, or community builder whose work reflects something essential about the state. Produced in partnership with the Portland Art Gallery, Radio Maine has built an archive of more than 370 episodes with one quiet purpose: to broaden your view of Maine and connect you with the people who live, work, and love it.
Dr. Lisa Belisle is a board-certified family physician and preventive medicine specialist whose clinical work integrates Western medicine with acupuncture, Five Phase theory from Chinese medicine, mindfulness-based stress reduction, qigong, and herbalism. She holds an MD, PhD, MPH, and MBA. Across more than three decades of practice, she has understood health as something that unfolds within relationships, rhythms, and time. She is a physician, a writer, a host, and a teacher.
She lives on Littlejohn Island off the coast of Maine. She and her husband have six children, and she carries a multigenerational commitment to medicine. Her late father, Dr. Charles Belisle, was a family physician for nearly fifty years. Dr. Belisle writes The Bountiful Path, a Substack of seasonal reflections on medicine, place, and the creative life, and teaches online courses that connect integrative care to everyday living.
Radio Maine is one of several ways she works at the intersection of medicine and the human spirit: in the clinic, on the air, on the page, and in conversation with artists, healers, entrepreneurs, educators, and thinkers who believe that how we live matters as much as how long we live.
