The Founder

Tracy Harrison’s vision and values are the roots of the entire SAFM experience.  A scientist who left the high-tech corporate world in 2007, Tracy built a wildly successful, multi-modality practice utilizing functional medicine principles.  In 2011, she founded The School of Applied Functional Medicine.

Tracy is a powerhouse of applied functional medicine insight (among other talents), which she generously shares with SAFM students and public audiences. Her energy, authenticity, and relatable analogies demystify the complexities of medicine making learning fun and engaging.  As a dynamic speaker and natural teacher, Tracy drives health practitioners to a level of clinical savvy on systems “interconnectedness”, empowering and inspiring the capabilities and confidence that distinguish AFMC practitioners from the rest.

A scientist and systems engineer at heart, Tracy holds three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and further graduate education from Bridgeport University and The Institute for Functional Medicine.
