Take On Healthcare Podcast

Mary Sheehan, RPh

Mary Sheehan is a registered pharmacist who has spent the last 17 years in community pharmacy. She has used this role as an avenue to identify and understand what each patient needs in order to establish their own health goals. Her work behind the pharmacy counter is part education and part inspiration.

Because she knows first hand that the system itself can make even the strongest most capable practitioner unwell, Mary has spent many years creating programs for groups and individuals to help them stay well in mind, body and spirit so that they can continue to heal others. 
Part pharmacist and part medicine woman, Mary believes that healing is equal parts individual and practitioner. It’s a relationship and a process that you do together. 

Mary graduated Summa Cum Laude from Duquesne University Mylan School of Pharmacy 29 years ago. She won the 2019 “Outstanding Customer Service Award” at Giant Eagle Pharmacies. 
She is part of NEOMEDs ancillary faculty and has hosted and produced a show for cable television called Good Medicine.

She appeared on local Channel 3’s Can You Relate? with Kathy Dawson and Golden Opportunities as a contributing health expert.

CO-HOST

Ted Suzelis, ND

Dr. Ted Suzelis has been helping people in the Mahoning Valley for over 20 years to achieve a level of health that allows them to not only do what they want with their lives, but have the energy to fully enjoy it.

Dr. Ted believes that when given the right tools, the body can heal itself. Because of this, he focuses on helping patients with a healthy diet, along with vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional supplements tailored specifically for each patient. In order to understand what is needed for each patient, his evaluation goes deep into all that encompasses health, in order to get to the root cause of the problem. Only then can therapy be truly healing and not just a covering up of the symptoms.

In August 2001, Dr. Ted received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and Health Sciences in Tempe, Arizona, which is a four-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical school. He was educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD, but also studies holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness. He received his Bachelors of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Bowling Green State University, in Bowling Green, Ohio in August 1996.

Dr. Ted lives in Canfield with his wife, Robin, and two children Evan and Dean. He enjoys spending time with his family and running on the bike trail whenever possible. Both of his children have been diagnosed with autism, which creates a combination of challenges and blessings for the family. Dr. Ted and Robin work hard to help their children grow and develop to reach their full potential in life.
