What’s Really Holding You Back? Hidden Beliefs Sabotaging Your Clinical Impact | E24
Limiting beliefs have a way of sneaking into the work of functional medicine practitioners and Tracy Harrison is pulling them into the light. Have you ever felt like you had to do everything on your own to be credible, or that you should wait until you know absolutely everything before you start? Tracy makes the case for why those assumptions hold you back and how confidence is built through real practice, not endless preparation.
Tracy also looks closely at the practitioner-patient relationship and asks a hard question: what happens when we carry the weight of “fixing” our patients instead of helping them take ownership of their own choices? From moving past overreliance on labs and supplements to creating a true partnership based on education, accountability, and community, she shares a more sustainable way forward.
How much impact could you have if you let go of old assumptions and focused on wisdom, collaboration, and practical action? This episode is a reminder that the future of functional medicine depends on practitioners who are willing to rethink, adapt, and lead with both insight and courage.
