Strength For Your Purpose Podcast

Dr. Ben Hagopian is a board-certified family physician, specializing in integrative medicine. He earned his MD, as well as a Masters in Public Health (MPH), from Case Western Reserve University (consistently rated a top tier medical school) in Cleveland, OH. He went on to train at Maine Medical Center for four years where he was selected to remain on as chief resident.

Dr. Hagopian’s desire to focus on health promotion and disease prevention rather than simply treating symptoms of a disease led him to do a fellowship in integrative medicine at Maine Medical Center and the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.

After completing his extensive training, he spent 3 years working in Oxford County, providing primary and integrative care to rural Mainers.

After spending time learning about direct primary care and the value it brings to patients, he strongly believes that a focus on lifestyle medicine, coupled with relationship-centered, personalized care and lower costs are the solution to our healthcare crisis.

Tate Sandrock and his son have gotten in the water for over 151 days this year...seems pretty cool and somewhat obvious for some who live in or on the water during our gorgeous Maine summers but there are lessons here!

Tate began his Maine adventure in 2019 with his wife Claire and two young kids, trading the Great Lakes of Wisconsin for the salty shores of midcoast Maine. A former special education teacher and personal fitness trainer, Tate now dedicates his time to assisting buyers and sellers at Newcastle Realty. He is always ready to listen and is enthusiastic about helping others achieve their goals. An avid runner, Tate can be found early in the morning on his favorite route circling the Great Salt Bay.

2022 Highlight Series Part 3 Features Dr.  Roy of Saco River Dentistry!

This is such an interesting topic that is sweeping the dental field and is something I truly believe will have a HUGE impact on the lives of many moving forward. Give it a listen!

Dr. Nicholas Roy was born and raised in Lewiston, Maine. He attended UVM for his undergraduate studies. Upon completing his B.S. in Chemistry, he headed south to The University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, a top-rated dental school. The four years flew by and there was lots learned. During this time, he developed a passion for comprehensive care. In order to help patients with such complex needs, he decided to enter an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) in Richmond, Virginia. This experience gave him the confidence and skills necessary to do implant dentistry, full mouth rehabilitation, sedation dentistry, and complex surgical treatment. Dr. Roy has a passion for Continuing Education in Dentistry. He is a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), Maine Dental Association (MDA), American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), Board Member and President Elect of the Maine Academy of General Dentistry (ME AGD), President of the New England Master Track Program (NEMTP), Past President and Vice President of the Greater Portland Dental Society (GPDS), member of the Greater Portland Dental Study Club (GPDSC), and recipient of the prestigious Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (MAGD), which is obtained by less than 1% of general dentists in the U.S. He has lectured to his peers at local dental meetings and was featured in the leading dental podcast in the world, discussing his passion for dental adhesives and continuing education. Dr. Roy’s goal is to provide dental care in a comprehensive manner. This means he will focus on patients that have been away from the dental world for some time, and have a complex set of issues. He looks forward to continuing to be a big part of the community, mission trips to Honduras, and providing assistance to veterans of U.S Armed forces through the Smiles for Vets Program. Dr. Roy has a passion for golf, hockey, running, fishing, hiking, and playing guitar. He enjoys time with his wife Danielle and their dog, Neely, a silver lab.

This week I am joined by someone who was a part of a major pivot (first thing we can learn from) that had a significant impact on our Nation’s health during the pandemic (second thing we can learn from). 

Here’s more about Derek:

Derek has spent the last 5 years with Puritan Medical Products. During this time, he’s served as the company’s Senior Manufacturing Engineer, COVID Project Manager and most recently their Director of Corporate Engineering. As Director of Engineering, Derek has created a diverse and inclusive engineering department serving all four Puritan locations. Derek enjoys all that Maine has to offer and can often be found with a fly rod enjoying the outdoors.  

You can't build a house without a solid foundation. Building that foundation isn't always done with the "sexy" exercises but you can't get to them without it!
