This week our "Wellness Innovations" segment, sponsored by the University of New England, featured The Epidemic of Financial Anxiety: What You Can Do, from Psychology Today.

Tom ShepardOur featured guest was Tom Shepard of Shepard Financial. For 17 years Tom has helped people get to know themselves through a deeper relationship and understanding of their values by teaching and working with them and their money. First teaching students powerful math about financial choices, habits and addictions, then through writing about age appropriate allowance and created currency and finally as an observer and chronicler of the effects of wealth on health. Tom connects the evolution of money past, present and future with a spiritual understanding of value that makes life come alive. He takes us out of an approach based on perpetual growth and into a world view that puts the focus back on money as a tool that promotes lifelong development for each of us, our families, communities, country and the world. In his work he visually respresents the stages of money maturity and stresses that we grow, develop, die and evolve several times in life. Money honestly earned through the pursuit of passion allows us to make sacrifices for our friends and families that brings beauty into the world and ships it clear around the globe making it possible to have heaven here on earth. The trick is to see it as a currency of the power of love instead of the love of power.

This week our "Wellness Innovations" segment, sponsored by the University of New England, celebrates wellness innovator Dr. Christiane Northrup, our featured guest.

376061_280748351977230_140647579320642_846398_948703432_nDr. Christiane Northrup's #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new vision of midlife - and will continue to so for generations to come. As Dr. Northrup has championed, the "change" is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be "fixed," but a mind-body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now - from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet - have the power to secure vibrant health and well-being for the rest of her life.
“Once you engage your own inner wisdom, you can change or improve your habits of thought, your emotions, and your behaviors… and create a more positive and joyful life experience right away,” Dr. Northrup says. “This process, when engaged in regularly, heals both your present and your future. It also enables you to live a life full of joy, meaning, and purpose—right here, right now.”

Weavings: Dr. Lisa # 12

 

The show began with our "Deep Dish" foods segment, co-hosted by Maine Magazine wellness editor, Genevieve Morgan. Our conversation centered on the ways we feed ourselves, physically and emotionally. We discussed an inspirational food book (The Flavor Bible by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg) and ways to cook one of our cruciferous favorites: Brussels Sprouts.

This week on our "Wellness Innovations" segment, sponsored by the University of New England, was about "The Neuroscience of Why Gratitude Makes Us Healthier," by Ocean Robbins:


Negative attitudes are bad for you. And gratitude, it turns out, makes you happier and healthier. If you invest in a way of seeing the world that is mean and frustrated, you’re going to get a world that is more mean and frustrating. But if you can find any authentic reason to give thanks, anything that is going right with the world or your life, and put your attention there, then statistics say you’re going to be better off.


There’s an old saying that if you’ve forgotten the language of gratitude, you’ll never be on speaking terms with happiness. This isn’t just happy talk, it turns out. Your brain knows the difference. Several studies have shown depression to be inversely correlated to gratitude. It seems that the more grateful a person is, the less depressed they are. Philip Watkins, a clinical psychologist at Eastern Washington University, found that clinically depressed individuals showed significantly lower gratitude (nearly 50 percent less) than non-depressed controls.

389926_259304460788286_140647579320642_791908_1403603063_n-1The first guest on today's show was Jill McGowan, Clothing Designer, of Jill McGowan Inc.

The first line of clothing from Jill McGowan, Inc. was a series of white shirts. This line was inspired by her work as a patternmaker in the men’s shirt industry. After comparing her work on men’s shirts to women’s clothing of equal price, she realized the genuine need to improve the standard of women’s clothing.


Jill’s shirts and seasonal collections are now available in over 300 speciality stores around the country and her work has been featured in several publications including Women’s Wear Daily, Harper’s Bazaar, the New York Times, Victoria, Real Simple, Rescue and More magazines, and the online fashion site: Daily Candy, Maine Magazine, Down East and the Boston Globe.


Jill has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and Martha has blogged about her visit to the studio. Her shirts have been worn in many feature length films, and the television shows SportsNight, What Not To Wear and Martha Stewart. Jill McGowan was selected as one of the fashion innovators for the television show, Main Floor, sponsored by Cotton, Inc.

Jill McGowan Retail, the company’s flagship store, opened in November 2010 in Freeport Maine.

They work towards creating culturally relevant films that not only provide information, but that are also engaging works of art.

In addition to their use of media for humanitarian purposes, they work to support the creative ideas, educational initiatives, and business aspirations of local people in the communities where we film.

Spencer is a musician, producer, and front man of the Maine-based rock band Spencer and the School Spirit Mafia. Previously, Albee fronted As Fast As and was the keyboardist and backup singer for the band Rustic Overtones.Albee was raised in the town of York, ME where he was influenced at an early age by his grandfather, a banjo player and music enthusiast. Early groups that influenced Albee included The Who, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles. In particular, Beatles bass player Paul McCartney left an indelible mark on Albee’s musical development.

Albee was first introduced to the piano by his parents, and without much formal training picked up the instrument mostly by ear. From there he dabbled in guitar (playing right-handed despite being a natural lefty), bass, tuba, recorder, harmonica, and accordion.

306964_630466887200_5900691_33985746_989499212_nOur "Give Back" segment featured two guests this week: Delia Gorham of the Maine League of Young Voters and Carlin Whitehouse of Family Crisis Services.

Delia Gorham is the Program Director of the Maine League of Young Voters. Delia was born & raised in the smallest town in Maine (Randolph-by area!) Delia has been fighting the good fight since she started marching on picket lines during the ’87 strike in Jay. Growing up in the labor movement and seeing the struggle first hand it was no surprise Delia opted to attend college in the liberal enclave of Northampton, MA where she double majored in Government & American Studies at Smith College. Degree in hand, Delia turned right around and headed home to Maine where she started organizing on various campaigns and causes. From the 2008 & 2010 electoral cycles to pushing for comprehensive clean energy reform on the federal level to fighting for worker’s rights in the Maine State House, Delia has been mobilizing communities across the state to actively participate in the democratic process.

Delia encourages all eligible voters to head to the polls on November 8th!

N1066752264_329064_2442872Carlin Whitehouse is a youth educator from the Young Adult Abuse Prevention Program of the local Family Crisis Services. Carlin Whitehouse was raised on plenty of dirt and fresh air deep in the blueberry plains of York County. Academia proved to be an awkward fit throughout adolescence, so he took his education into his own hands with some formative post-secondary travels through the US and Europe. Arriving to Portland in 2001, Carlin’s been delighted to have the daily opportunity to learn and grow in our seaside community. He makes his living helping to foster feminism and intersectional justice in the hearts and minds of young men and women alike. Talents and/or hobbies include bowling, singing, playing Ultimate and rabble rousing.

Carlin discussed an upcoming screening of the film "Miss Representation," hosted by the Family Crisis Services, on November 9th.

Sunday, October 30, 2011

From healthy Halloween teeth to happy kitties, with a whole lot of ghosties in between! We discussed ways to approach  Halloween candy intake, how our "past lives" haunt us, and helping animals who are in need. Our guests included orthodontist Dr. Michelle Shems, psychotherapist & author Patricia Reis, visual artist & puppeteer Rebecca McNulty and Marcia Carr of HART.

Hauntings: Dr. Lisa Radio Hour #7

 

Dr.Shems
Our show began with a food segment, co-hosted by Maine Magazine wellness editor, Genevieve Morgan. We highlighted "Healthy Halloween Treats," and kid-pleasing Halloween evening meal options, all courtesy of Whole Foods Market (Portland). We also spoke with Falmouth orthodontist Dr. Michelle Shems about keeping teeth healthy during the Halloween season (and beyond). Next week Dr. Shems will host her office's 9th annual Halloween candy buy-back.

Their office will donate $2 for every pound of candy that is brought in the office during the week of Halloween: one dollar to the child and the other to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Portland (up to 5 pounds per child). This program helps decrease the over consumption of eating candy, reduces breaking of braces and teaches children the beauty of giving back. According to Dr. Shems, "As a parent, it is a relief to have the ‘hard earned candy’ go somewhere other than their mouths."

~~~~~

Patricia Reis JPGOur featured guest on today's show was psychotherapist & author Patricia Reis. Patricia Reis is the author of The Dreaming Way, Daughters of Saturn, and Through the Goddess, and creator/producer of Arctic Refuge Sutra. She has degrees from the University of Wisconsin in English Literature, an MFA from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in Sculpture (in the 1970s and 1980s Reis exhibited nationally and in the 1980s she worked as an illustrator for archaeologist Marija Gimbutas and others), and an MA from the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Depth Psychology. Holding positions as faculty, lecturer, and dissertation advisor, Reis has facilitated many artists and writers in bringing their work to fruition. Reis also appeared in the film “Signs Out of Time” (by Canadian film maker, Donna Read), a documentary on the life of Marija Gimbutas. She has a psychotherapy practice and is currently engaged in writing fiction.

~~~~~

Rebecca McNulty, visual artist, storyteller and puppeteer, was our featured guest on our "Maine Magazine Minutes" segment with Maine Magazine wellness editor (and Dr. Lisa Radio Hour co-host) Genevieve Morgan. According to Rebecca, "My art has a curious way of twining itself into intricate stories. Drawing on myths, legends, and curious bits of history, I find the places of intersection between the old and the new. The works come alive in different ways. The Raven Scry Venture Company offers live roleplaying programs for young people that combine storytelling, sneaking, games, ciphers, puzzles and art into an experience of magic, mystery and mayhem. Raven Scrawl Studio offers intimate chamber theater works for adults that explore themes of chaos and order, light and darkness."

Stephen has a BS in physical education and health and an MS, CAS in Psychophysical Movement (a unique discipline that combines psychology and exercise science), both from Springfield College. Steve spent three years at the Fisher Island School, where he wore numerous hats (including that of Athletic Director, Department Head of Physical Education, Department Head of Health, and Coach). In 1985 he moved to Portland, and worked as the city's wellness coordinator for seven years. In 1992 he became a personal trainer and worked out of a local health club. Anderson opened The Body Architect personal training center in 1997. And in 2004 he created The Body Architect fitness center, his ideal facility for helping others reach peak health and fitness. “I consider what I teach to be a practice, like yoga or qi gong. It’s actually a synthesis of many Eastern and Western practices. The environment needs to be compatible to the practice. In the new Body Architect my goal was to create a space that fosters and nurtures my clients’ practice.”

Glow (#5)

Sunday, October 16, 2011

Ready to get your glow on? We can help you do so, from the inside out. Beauty is, as the saying goes, more than skin deep.

Lisa Brodar of Portland General Store was the featured guest in our "Maine Magazine Minutes" segment with Maine Magazine wellness editor (and Dr. Lisa Radio Hour co-host) Genevieve Morgan.

Lisa and her partner, Troy Tyler, became very interested in sustainable living several years ago. As a part of that discovery process, Lisa happened upon some vintage soap and perfume recipe books and a collection of antique, Czechoslovakian pharmacy bottles. These were her creative inspiration! Her experimentation began with creams and bath salts and led, eventually, to today's line of products, made from simple, natural ingredients using time-tested methods. According to Lisa, "We take no shortcuts and don't use the fragrance oils and chemical additives which are commonly found today. Our products and their packaging have an earnest quality which comes from their hand-crafted nature and the 'authenticity' we seek in our lives and what we do. This theme is resonating with a wide audience, especially in today's tumultuous times!"

Lisa holds a BFA in Illustration from the Art Institute of Boston and has worked as a producer and marketing executive in NYC.

Portland General Store will be featured in the November issue of Maine magazine.
