Regarding your cleanse, I have to say this has been one of the most personally rewarding things that I have done for myself and my family. It has put me so much more in tune with my body and how I feel and how food effects me. This has opened a new and exciting chapter for our family. Thank you so much!

Dear Tracy,
I wanted to give testament to your Cleanse. I have conducted the cleanse using your routine 3 times over the last 1 1/2 years (every 6 months) and for the first time in 20 years my cholesterol has dropped significantly. In fact, my total cholesterol dropped 40 points from 197 to 152 and LDL dropped 120 to 79. My ratios went from the 4 range to the 2 range. The only thing I have changed in the last 1 1/2 year is adding the cleanse. It is astounding!!! I have always been fit, exercised and watched my diet, but it always frustrated myself that my cholesterol hovered so closely to 200. My cholesterol over the last 20 years has always been 180-190′s and my LDL have always been 120-130. Cleansing every 6 months will now be a lifestyle change for me. Anyone struggling with high cholesterol should definitely try this cleanse and I am more than happy to speak with anyone. Thank you so much!!!

I just wanted to thank you for all of your support & knowledge throughout this process. Doing this cleanse has been, by far, the best thing I have ever done for my health. I didn’t realize how bad I actually felt until I started feeling good. It’s amazing to me how easy it was to eliminate sugar & processed foods, considering that was the majority of my diet! I never thought I was going to be able to do this. This cleanse along with all of the information you supplied has changed the way I think of food. I can’t wait until your cookbook comes out!! Thank you so much!!

I am really glad that I did the cleanse. I was suffering from plantar fasciitis, and now, my feet are no longer bothering me. Which means that I can go hiking again and have started taking yoga classes. I have a lot more energy. My DH is calling me the “energizer rabbit” and I’m sleeping a lot less. I actually woke up at 3 a.m. the other morning feeling like I was done sleeping and got up and did a yoga tape then! One of my reasons for doing the cleanse was to get over my sugar addiction – which I have. Thanks for your help and support!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to Thank You! For the first time in years (so many I can’t remember), I did not have to take Claritin during ragweed season. In the past, in mid August I’d get the perpetual ragweed cold (runny nose, itchy eyes, itchy skin). I kept waiting and it never happened. Ragweed levels have been high this year so I can’t say it wasn’t a bad year.

I can’t explain it except that I did the late April cleanse and the summer program. I have also really been trying to stay true to eating healthier. My friend and I were chatting about it and she, too, has not had her typical allergy problems. I have a long way to go in how I eat but you truly helped me take a big step.

Over the course of many years, I’ve been to many doctors with many health issues, all of which you know. Although they each had a medical history from me, no doctor ever made any connections or saw a common element in any of my complaints. No doctor ever attempted to get to the root cause of any ailment. Instead , medication was prescribed, with side effects which were just as bad as the original problem, and then caused other ailments, etc.,etc. You are the only person who has integrated all my issues, gotten to the root causes, and treated them naturally with proper nutrition and supplements. Instead of more medication, you have been able to help me wean off the toxic medication I’ve been taking for so many years. This speaks to the idea that doctors focus on and react to disease, as opposed to focusing on wellness and prevention. To me this is a major issue and has been an amazing eyeopener.

The most important happening for me is the education and knowledge you impart —-very empowering. Now I can make intelligent choices with knowledge and confidence. I can discuss intelligently my health issues with my doctors . I can take more control of my well-being.

Tracy has truly changed my life! I had been on diets for many years, losing weight only to regain it. Frustrated with the rollercoaster of dieting, I was ready to embrace Tracy’s philosophy. She has taught me how to eat and cook healthfully. Life changing information!

Myah Stone
Milford, MA

Tracy is amazing! It has been overwhelming having been recently diagnosed with kidney cancer and disease to comprehend what I would need to keep myself as healthy as possible. She has given me the knowledge and support I have needed and explained things in a way that I can understand. The doctors say that you cannot reverse kidney disease but with the help of Tracy my tests have been improving!

Buddy Murphy

I can’t say enough good things about how Tracy has helped me. Based on how we’ve changed my diet and my awareness of food, I have more energy and feel better about myself. She put me on to nutrition solutions that I didn’t know existed and wouldn’t have thought to look for.

What made it particularly work for me is that she’s so smart and knows her subject so well. I’m not someone who wants to master all the information. For years I’ve found it so confusing how varied and conflicting the theories of healthy diet are that I long since threw up my hands. With Tracy I felt very confident about just following her directives, and I’m very pleased with the results.

During Tracy’s presentation, “Beat the Sugar Blues”, to our group of about 40 employees at Akibia last week, we were utterly mesmerized by her! Not only did Tracy take some very complex and often mis-understood myths about sugar and make them understandable, she also made the learning enjoyable. We were on the edge of our seats listening to what she had to say next. One attendee described her style as “infectious”. As a member of the Wellness Committee at Akibia, I was proud to host and have Tracy deliver another hugely successful program!

I first met Tracy after being diagnosed with diabetes. She took me through a difficult time, making the process seem effortless, enjoyable and positive. Tracy has been the primary motivator in my dealings with diabetes. She has impressed me with her vast knowledge of how body systems work and their interrelationships with nutrition. Through Tracy’s individual attention and support, I have been able to address my diabetes, as well as other heath issues, and achieve my goals. Through encouragement, she has taught me what and how to eat, how to prepare food, and why. I now am more aware of how to select foods and am experimenting with different foods. I am enjoying thoroughly this change in my life without any sense of deprivation. My experience working with Tracy has been fabulous; I am forever grateful to her for her guidance and provision of sustainable tools to maintain and continue to improve my health.

I used to have daily digestive discomfort and very low energy most days. Through blood testing Tracy recommended, I discovered that I had high sensitivities to a variety of foods including wheat and gluten. After eliminating these foods from my diet in addition to taking various supplements, my digestion has improved immensely and I’ve had a tremendous increase in my energy level. When working with Tracy, I always looked forward to our semi-monthly meetings. She often brought supplements, packages of foods to sample, and new menu ideas. In addition to this one on one work with Tracy, she also catered two separate functions that I was involved in. On the first occasion, Tracy cooked for eleven women at a three day retreat. In addition to cooking amazing snacks, appetizers, and meals, she also shared much nutrition information with us over the course of the long weekend. All of the meals were incredibly creative and fresh tasting. Tracy also catered a 50th birthday party for a friend and everyone raved about the food. Tracy has great energy, a wealth of nutrition knowledge, and truly cares about helping you to discover what changes are necessary to create a happier and healthier life. I feel blessed to have been able to work with her.

Tracy is PHENOMENAL! I have recently taken several of her “Eating on Purpose” courses and have been amazed at her teaching abilities and the wealth of information she has to share. I have begun to take control of my health and life by putting into practice the many facts that Tracy has been teaching me. It has been an absolutely amazing & eye-opening education with her…and her teaching style is fantastic. She is warm, giving, extremely knowledgeable, and on a mission to educate and help people make lifestyle eating changes that will assist them in taking back their lives.

Thank you very much for coming into the school to do the presentation. I really liked it, and I think everyone especially liked the youtube clip. Your examples, like the coke bottle with sugar, were very cool. After the presentation, all my friends and I were talking about food, giving our own opinions, saying what they were going to have for lunch, because you had changed our thoughts. I think you approached it at the right level, because you disgusted them without making them feel like being contrarian.
I wish that all kids could learn this. Thank you again!

We hired Tracy to come into our company and present a series of nutritional seminars to our Associates during their lunch hour. The seminars were presented to a diverse group of people with diverse health concerns. Tracy did a wonderful job of presenting material that can confuse the best of us in a simple, easy to understand way. She shed light on our behavior as consumers of fast food, pre-packaged “health food,” and eating patterns that get us into trouble. Beyond that, she personally helped me create a reward chart to get my 6 year old son to fall in love with vegetables. I am happy to report that he asks every night for his vegetables and the chart that started him on the right path has become irrelevant. Thank you, Tracy!

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with the results from your efforts in discovering the underlying causes for many of my ongoing health concerns. I especially want to thank you for your diligence and follow through with my food allergies, vitamin deficiencies and thyroid concerns. By uncovering my gluten, yeast and dairy allergies, I am now eating better and also avoiding the allergic reactions which were causing me so much distress. I am so pleased that my acid reflux has improved to the point that I do not need to take the Nexium which I had been taking for several years. I have also begun to lose the additional weight which I was unable to do before I met with you. I am certain that the dietary allergies and the Vitamin B12 deficiency which you uncovered have played a significant role in my inability to lose additional weight and fatigue. Overall, I am thoroughly pleased with your services. I would strongly recommend your services to others. Thank you and God bless you!

Tracy changed my relationship to food. Before Tracy, my eating was rarely thoughtful, and too often compulsive. But I didn’t like the visible outcome—being overweight—so I tried hard to battle compulsion with discipline. As a result, food often felt dangerous, like an enemy ready to ambush me whenever I let down my guard. After Tracy, I feel (mostly) at peace with my relationship to food. I certainly enjoy eating far more: I experience much more flavor, and am much more satisfied by what I eat. I rarely have that “I know I just ate by I still want more” compulsion. I also really enjoy the high level of health and vitality which for months now has become normative. Oh, and one other thing, I do kind of like being 50 pounds lighter!

The girls really enjoyed the program you offered! I think that you have a really great way with pre-teen girls. They LOVED your hands-on approach. They absorbed much of the material on sugar too – two of the moms commented on how well versed their daughters were on sugar content and healthy food/drink choices. I am looking forward to working with you again!

Working with Tracy was one of the best things I ever did – for myself! I had been struggling for a few years to lose the last 10 pounds my body was holding on to after giving birth to my daughter in 2005. I recently had been working out with a personal trainer for almost a year and hadn’t lost any weight. When I first met with Tracy, I immediately felt that she understood my situation and truly wanted to help me achieve my goals. She is an amazing listener, and each session with her was specifically designed to address my questions and concerns. Tracy shared information and strategies to help me make small changes in my eating habits that have had a huge impact on my health and well-being. Now I know what works best for my body and my lifestyle, and I have lost 10 pounds. More importantly, I have the energy to get through each day and the right information to make healthy choices for myself and my family.

I’m doing so much better than a year ago! Your helping me figure out that soy was the trigger for my IBS symptoms was a huge win. As long as I don’t eat it, I don’t have any IBS symptoms at all. It took me about 3 months after we stopped working together to get all the soy out of my fridge and pantry. I could not believe how many food items have soy!!! Soy flour, soy protein isolate, soy lecithin, soy oil….. It’s ridiculous. It’s also somewhat forced me to eat more whole foods by ridding my home of processed foods. I’m still taking all the supplements (mag, D3, fish oil) you recommended. I’m sleeping great and have not had to take any medications for over a year now! I also lost the 7 pounds I put on last winter before I had adopted all your recommendations; so that tell’s me all the changes I made the past 9 months are putting the right things in my body. I hope you are doing well and your business is thriving. Thank you again for all the help you gave me.

Asking for Tracy’s help has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. She made it so easy to succeed. Tracy is always so cheerful, positive, and full of fascinating information. I looked forward to meeting for every session. While following her nutrition suggestions, I always felt satisfied. This was definitely different than any “diet”. In 6 weeks I had lowered my total cholesterol from 253 to 206. My LDL (bad cholesterol) went from 168 to 113. After 4 months of improved nutrition, I lost 25 pounds. I feel amazing. I’m much more energetic, healthy, and happy. Now, I’m working on my cooking skills. My family and I have had several cooking classes with Tracy. It’s been a fun and wonderful bonding experience. We’ve made all kinds of healthy meals and I’m looking forward to this week’s healthy dessert session. How about this extra bonus : After cooking with Tracy, my son is even entertaining the idea of becoming a chef.

Overweight, no more “prince charming”! Disgusted with what you see in the mirror? Sex life lousy? Feel like crap (even depressed) over the state of affairs? Well join the club. First thing I suggest you do is not deal with it. If you feel like you can never, ever lose weight, then it is time to surrender, give up, quit, don’t try to lose weight ever again! Take a couple of deep breaths and do what I did: call Tracy and get some advice. It changed my life, simply changed my life and I feel so good… no B.S.. I am not “back on track”; I am on a new road to health. No BP pills, no cholesterol pills, no Viagra necessary. Reconstructed through nutrition: one day at a time. It is so refreshing – thank you Tracy!

Tracy worked with me over a period of five months. It would be a gross understatement to call her simply a “nutritionist” because she is much more. I think that more accurate descriptions of Tracy are “body chemist” or “health therapist.” She is incredibly knowledgeable on how food affects all aspects of one’s body and overall health, and the importance of including various supplements in one’s daily health regimen. Tracy is also well-versed in the role our psyches play in our eating habits and what we choose to put in our bodies. On top of all of that, she’s a great cook! Tracy is a wonderful, supportive health coach who is capable of making huge improvements in a person’s health.

I just wanted to let you know that so much has improved for my son and myself since taking “How to Heal Your Gut” class. My son has not had one stomachache at all, and his accidents are greatly reduced. He definitely thinks about what he eats and has become more confident and proactive at asking about ingredients. For me, my knee pain is almost non-existent, and I have stopped thinking of surgery as a necessity! I actually have energy and can do things with my kids when I get home from work. I figured you deserved to hear the good news from our clan.

Life is short. For that reason, I only do business with other fun, alive folks. Tracy Harrison, nutrition extraordinaire (and fellow singer), fits the bill. Her Glorious Greens cooking demo intrigued me, so I signed up hoping to learn to cook something other than broccoli. In a word? Fabulous. Tracy encouraged questions and conversations while she taught participants how to create organic, mouth-watering greens in a classy, rustic setting. I enjoyed it so much I signed up
for a second demo. If I am what I eat, I want it to be good for my body.

Your training came at a vital time. My work situation changed; I’m blessed to still be employed, but now I work basically 12 to 15 hours a day, 6 days a week. But combining our new eating styles learned from you, exercising and rest has given me the energy to endure the new schedule. Great news: I have lost a total of 41lbs. since we starting working with you. We are doing well!

Before going to see Tracy I had tried every diet out there…Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, South Beach, Atkins, and several Nutritionists/Dieticians. At each one I would lose weight at first, but I would gain it back. I wasn’t creating a life change and let’s face it, every diet never made me happy. Working with Tracy has been one of the best decisions of my life. The changes we made are easy, life-changing decisions that I will stick with. The bonus? I have lost some weight. And I know that I will continue to lose more as I follow a new life style of a more natural diet. I have never felt this good….and who knew that I would enjoy eating so much! Tracy helped me learn that food was not the enemy. I now enjoy life more, sleep better and enjoy eating every bite of food! Who knew that food could taste this good? Thank you Tracy!

In meeting with Tracy, I found her advice to be not only comprehensive but also fascinating and educational. I was already very aware of the dangers of processed foods (staying away from them is hard with three kids!), but Tracy taught me how to stay as close to nature as possible in all my food choices. I’m happy my children are adapting too. I also learned from Tracy about emotional eating and how to avoid falling into that trap. We also work on an exercise solution which has been my biggest hurdle. Tracy is definitely an asset to anyone who needs nutritional guidance; she is well-versed, educated, and thorough.

Tracy is the whole package!

Over the years, I have turned to Tracy as my personal nutritional consultant – even long before she officially became one. She is able to explain concepts clearly, providing research and resources when appropriate. She has a seemingly unending supply of practical ways of incorporating new ideas, methods, or ingredients. With Tracy’s help, I made small changes that gradually became part of how I regularly shop, prepare, and eat – without my family or me ever feeling like something drastic was happening. How exciting to discover that it was – our health!

Two years ago I was working with Tracy to lower my blood sugar levels (I was “pre-diabetic”). My usual breakfast was some kind of toast and a great deal of my meals were pasta-based. So I switched over, and my breakfast foods of choice were eggs and cheese. I ate this just about every day for the last 2 years. I just had my physical again and my cholesterol levels (which are very good) are virtually unchanged. So, here is one person’s testimonial on how eating high cholesterol foods did not change my cholesterol levels. And yes, my blood sugar levels are also very good now. Thanks Tracy!
