Dr. Lisa Belisle

Dr. Lisa Belisle is a board-certified family physician with a practice in integrative medicine. Her career spans more than thirty years across hospitals, teaching settings, private offices, and her own business. She holds an MD, an MPH, an MBA, and a PhD in leadership focused on leading through change.

For more than a decade, she taught in residency and graduate medical education. She has served on the executive team of one of Maine's largest health systems and on the leadership team of a virtual healthcare startup.

Alongside the clinical work, she has had a parallel career in writing, editing, broadcasting, and public speaking, with more than a thousand long-form conversations on the air and in print. She hosts Radio Maine, a video podcast in partnership with the Portland Art Gallery, featuring artists, healers, and community leaders. She authors The Bountiful Path, a Substack publication on medicine, art, and seasonal wisdom, and continues work on a memoir, Daughter, Doctor, Mom. Her belief that how we live matters as much as how long we live shapes the questions she asks on the air.

On A Healthy Conversation, she brings clinical training, leadership experience, and the long view of someone who has listened, for years, to patients, to artists, and to the writers connecting them. As a speaker, she also works in featured talks, fireside conversations, workshops, retreats, and panel moderation.
