The Health Institute With Dr. Josh Axe Reviews 

I came into the program overly stressed, exhausted and my gut was a disaster. I had the goal to reverse Hashimoto's and though it has not happened yet, for the first time in 9 years my bloodwork had shown positive changes. I am now less stressed and can overcome stressful situations that pop up. I have more of a stable energy to get me through my days without having to crash on the couch. And my gut was one of the biggest changes. I don't feel the uncomfortableness of being bloated, gassy or irregular. After 3 pregnancies you forget what a normal gut should feel like. I believe with all the knowledge I have learned through the program and with the help of my practitioner if I continue this healthy lifestyle, I (with Gods help) will be able to reverse Hashimoto's. I definitely recommend this program.

UniI have asthma and cancer. A 5 day hospital stay made me realize I needed a change. Cellular health was my answer. After three weeks on the program I was a totally different person, functioning well all day without my oxygen, being able to walk (with my walker) greater distances without huffing and puffing, and better sleep and not so fatigued. I am 85 and am excited to see more changes in my life as I continue on in the program. I keep telling myself my life will continue to get even better. Hang in there. This program has truly benefitted me. Thank you Dr. Ax

This program has CHANGED my life so profoundly! This program helped heal more than just my gut issues. It helped me understand that true health involves the whole person—body, soul, and spirit. Through practical guidance, dietary changes, compassionate care, and a renewed focus on balance, I experienced healing in areas I never expected. I have gotten my life back and how can you put a price on that?! I am deeply grateful for Dr. Axe, Kristen Owens, and the entire team for helping me reconnect the dots and find hope again. It’s worth every dime! Dawanna Lewis

Overall this program was informative, resourceful and motivating. I honor Dr. Josh Axe and the work He is doing for the Kingdom of God. Not enough people in the medical community are inviting the Holy Spirit into the process, and the body of Christ needs healing...yesterday!

I was reeled in to this program from social media through the blood assessment test, and free consultation opportunity. The consultation call was unfortunately a bit overshadowed by a heavy sales push. I tried to ask if I could pray on it and get back to her but I was pushed through to the financing options, to later find out the financing partnership was a bad deal/loan. The program itself is already pricey at $8,000 and the way the loan was set up was to have me pay an additional $3,000 plus over time. (Not a good deal in my opinion)

I ended up pulling money out of savings to pay off the loan, but I still spent an additional and unnecessary $900 plus in fees to Clarity Pay. (Who The Health Institute chooses to partner with.) I would have still had to pull money out of savings to pay outright but I could have been better prepared if I was able to get back to her instead of being pushed through for the sale.

I felt a little duped and disapointed here when it came to feeling rushed to sign up and say yes, I guess I didn't expect that from a Christian company.

I was not able to join any of the additional calls because of my personal schedule so I can't speak to that, but the videos, documents and recipes were helpful and very organized. My practitioner Christina, was also kind and genuine.

I would recommend you take your time to pray through the process, on signing up and when the time is right for you to, and I would pay out right from the start. The loan partnership is not a good option.

I also was a bit disappointed to find out that there is no follow up bloodwork included. So you're kinda left on your own to test that again later down the line without seeing any results to compare and contrast to.

Overall, there is no regrets or ill will here, but there is definitely room for improvement!

May this bring you revelation and motivation in Jesus' name.

I hurt my back 15 years ago and was not able to walk for 5 years. I also was a caregiver during that time working from home at a sedentary job. My weight kept creeping up with very little sleep and no time for myself. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I took care of my brother and my son.

I still had trouble standing for long periods of time and walking when I retired last year. I took the magnesium that was with the program and everything started changing. I still have a very slow metabolism but feel that I have come a long way.

I am sleeping better. I added a pedometer to my phone and my steps increased. I am up to around 50,000 each month so far.

I found that if I removed all hidden sugars in the foods that I ate it helped tremendously with the insulin resistance.

I have lost 10 pounds so far which does not sound like much. I lost the same 4 pounds for 15 years. It was a major marker to move past the 4 pounds to 10.

Don't get discouraged if the weight comes off slowly. Continue to move forward and it will happen.

Best wishes

I am so grateful for my coach Samantha McCloud. So was very kind and patient with me as the last 4 months have been very difficult for me , due health issues with my husband and caring for a dear friend, who is 91. I was stressed and worn out which caused some setbacks for me. Samantha always lifted me up with her words and taught me how to listen to my body and to give myself some grace, which we all need! Samantha always gave me tools to work with and encouraged taking baby steps. She was amazing and never gave up on me. I will miss her very much but I now have the tools to succeed at my own pace. Getting older is defiantly difficult! I wish I had done this program earlier in life. Thank-you Samantha for sharing your knowledge and encouragement and your prayers. I have learned a lot and will continue healing and watching the videos! Tere Gardner 7-8-26

This program is a scam. Please don’t do it! Instead listen to Dr Axes podcast and you’ll learn far more and you’ll be able to take your health into your hands for free. Or better yet, find a naturopath doctor near you.
This program cost $8,000 for literally no personalized or individual care. You’ll be given some basic supplements like a multivitamin, probiotics, magnesium, some protein powder and given access to some recipes. That’s about it.

We were told my husbands health was super concerning and that he was headed down a dangerous path, so we signed up thinking he’d be getting a lot of care for his individual bloodwork panel to address his hormones and health. Since then, nothing that was “very concerning” has even been addressed or mentioned again.

Another thing is they don’t include follow up bloodwork. Like how in the world are we suppose to know for sure that his health is improving. Dr axe himself says “test, don’t guess” yet they only do the initial bloodwork to get you hooked and then won’t even retest a few months later to see what’s working or what things need more attention. I’m a huge believer in holistic healing, but this program is 100% a scam. If you want to pay $8,000 to be told to eat healthy, workout and take some supplements then this is the program for you! 🙃

Truly life-changing! I thought I knew a lot about health (not that I necessarily always incorporated those things, but had some knowledge), but entering the Health Institute world has been entering a world of incredibly deep knowledge far beyond what I knew and with such practical applications that it immediately impacted my health tremendously! The stomach pain that woke me up in the wee hours of the morning almost every night is gone. I feel stronger and more energetic than I have in a long time. I don’t have cravings, I am satisfied with my delicious whole food meals, and don’t walk around wondering when I’m going to get the next sweet treat! But it’s also so much more than that, it is this world of encouragement and support from every angle, my practitioner is utterly amazing and has been my biggest help and cheerleader— but there’s also a Facebook group that is always available to help answer questions or encourage or give meal ideas, it feels like a little village of people who are in this journey together and I just love it!! The videos of information from Dr. Axe or Dr. Cole are just amazing and again, go far beyond what I ever understood about our bodies and how everything works together, it’s not just about food. I hopped on a Bible study call last week and was in tears the whole time just so grateful for the opportunity to do this, to learn from these precious women, to grow in my faith, and to interact with other others who were going through the same process, I wouldn’t change a thing! This is truly a holistic, incredibly well organized program that has changed my life. I’m so very grateful.

Doris reviewed my blood test results for me, she was very thorough and explained everything in a manor easy to understand. If I had a question she patiently answered it and didn’t make me feel like it was an inconvenience. I learned many things and appreciate her time and knowledge with me.

over all I joined to get most out of blood test

though I know how to read label and get the most out food nutritionally over all, I had some lows and average scores that needed to be brought up.

that is where the program helped.

Well today is my 69th Birthday and no better way then to celebrate by sharing some encouraging words about
The Health Institute.

From day one I hopeful.
I came into this, knowing it was my last ditch effort to try to bring my body back into balance.
With rheumatoid arthritis, severe nerve damage in my left foot, arthritis in so many places and being in 24/7 pain for over 10 years. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It might be expensive to join this plan, but nothing else I was doing was working and no medication was helping.
So my attitude from day, one was …
“ you go for it girl”
and
“you’re in the army now!”
Give it your 100% !

I haven’t been perfect in everything but, I can say I’ve been at 90% and everything.
And there are many days where I’ve been 100% on.
Life throws things at you that you can’t avoid. You just have to work your way through it and get back to center as quickly as possible.

The one thing I heard someone say in a video I watched was put on your own oxygen mask first .
That has really stuck with me.
I have never been a person to put on my oxygen mask first I always put others first.
And sometimes I fall back into that pattern, but quickly remember what she said and then I do an about face and put on my own oxygen mask first.
I have learned to say no.
That’s a first.

It was never about losing weight even though I needed to.
It was about healing my cells and getting my body back into rhythm of health.
To my surprise, the weight loss has been amazing.

If anything that Dr Axe sends me doesn’t agree with my system they find out what will and we try something else and I really appreciate that attention.

My health coach Koren has been very wonderful to work with.
I’ve never been one to venture out of my comfort zone of foods but, I have been challenged to do so and to come up with new ways of eating.
That’s been the biggest challenge. But I’m doing it.

I love the list of foods they gave me to choose from and the recipes were a great help when starting this program.

I greatly appreciate the truth and the facts behind what food can do to your body whether it be harmful or helpful they tell you the truth.

My husband shared with me the other night that he noticed I haven’t been complaining about all the pain I’m in.
I have been feeling better. 😊

I’m looking forward to saying goodbye to all of this horrible inflammation in my body. I know it will continue to go down!

I have faith and I have hope!
I’m not alone in this journey!

That in itself is a great gift.

Dr Axe is so encouraging in the things he says and shares. I really appreciate his method , his knowledge and his attitude.

I hope this encourages someone today.

You’re worth every penny!
You’re worth every sacrifice it may take to get where you want to be in your own body and health.

God bless each one.

Gotta run now. Time to eat!

Terri
P.S. 70 is looking exciting!

I can’t recommend the Health Institute and Dr. Josh Axe enough. Before working with Rebbeca, my health practitioner, I was struggling with ongoing gut health issues and low white blood cell counts related to Epstein-Barr virus. I had tried many things without finding lasting improvement.

Through their personalized guidance, support, and holistic approach, my gut health has improved dramatically. Even more exciting, my white blood cell count is finally increasing, which is a huge sign that my body is healing and that my Epstein-Barr virus is much better under control.

What made the biggest difference was not just the protocol itself, but the encouragement and knowledge I received every step of the way. I always felt heard, supported, and empowered to take control of my health.

I’m incredibly grateful for the care and expertise that helped me get my life back. If you’re dealing with chronic gut issues or feeling like you’ve run out of answers, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this program a try. The commitment is worth it, and I’m so thankful I took that first step.

I. wasn't able to complete questionnaire tried to complete several times. After I decided to cancel my application I WASNT ABLE to. its very. Hard to talk to someone for help and direction I am requesting a refund of $27. I am very disappointed in your service

After multiple delays in registering my blood test kit, the Health Institute finally accepted my blood sample and scheduled my appointment. Then, shortly before my scheduled appointment they canceled it and informed me that someone would reach out to reschedule. After not hearing anything from them for several months, I called them again. Again, they said they would have someone call me to reschedule. They never called back. I tried to go online to reschedule, but now the website link they provided sends me to a page that is no longer active. I tried to chat online with them, but still have not heard back. This has been going on for a year, and I still have not got an appointment, and I have not been able to get a refund. I will keep trying, but my experience with DrJosh Axe and the Health Institute has been terrible. I'm no longer interested in their services. I just want my money back.

The program is great. I like the mindset exercises that put me on a track for healing. The TCM eating protocol elevated my journey, by showing me how to eat, it made a big difference for me. My glucose numbers are trending in the right direction. I highly recommend this program.

I didnot receive the results I should have gotten based on how expensive this was. Way overpriced and I corrected my problem essentially by myself with trial and error by listening to my body.

I really didn't know anything about the program. I was interested in what the blood test would indicate about my declining health and life. Once I started the program, I gave it everything I had and stuck to the plan as best I could. I generally looked at it as a moment by moment decision for my future self. I wrote out a statement that summed it up for people if they asked: I am giving myself permission to make healing choices for my mind, body and spirit. My first indication something was different was 3 days after starting the program (cleaned out my fridge and pantry day one). I noticed the swelling in my face and neck were GONE! Since then I've noticed no acid reflux and was able to stop taking my medication. My blood pressure is better and have been able to come off of that medication also. No more hot flashes (I'm in my 50's). My digestion is much better. I don't have random pains in my abdomen or gall bladder issues anymore. I haven't been sick at all since starting the program. No more earaches which were a very common occurrence. Plus, the fluid in my ears is finally gone. I'm healing faster, have almost zero cravings. No end of day swelling in my ankles.
And the coolest thing is someone mentioned skin tags the other day and I instinctively reached up to my neck to feel mine. THEY WERE GONE! All of my skin tags are gone and I didn't even realize it.

I would recommend this program for anyone that is struggling to figure out what's wrong. Your doctor tells you your blood work is in range, or you have to go on this medicine, or you're just getting old.

I have so much more energy now. Before I had to push if I had a day that I felt good. Now, I just wake up the next morning and keep working. It's truly amazing! I thank God and this program for helping me get my life back.

Didn’t know what to expect when I signed up for this program. Ready to enter phase 3 now. So grateful for the support, and encouragement Alexis, my practitioner has provided. Have lost some weight, eliminated indigestion, and bloated stomach. I have become more aware and careful of what I’m eating. Excited to be on this journey.

Honestly, I really needed help with my health but I wish didn't end up in debt 8,000 dollars for nothing. I don't think I was made aware of how little I was actually getting, I was also not made aware of the time commitment required for the program. I shouldn't have to chase my practioner online when I paid so much for this. You only get 30 minute sessions on zoom, I didn't really feel helped with that little hands on work. Additionally, this was a pretty generic, 4 month program I don't believe was worth the money when I have had a severe health problem for nearly 3 years. I think the sales person over estimated how good the program is for the chronically ill.

Sales people shouldn't prey on vulnerable people, if they don't think you are the right fit there should be integrity enough to consider a better option or referral. It was also concerning no follow up blood work was done to even see if any improvements had been made at all. Basically this is a program that is unproven to help anyone even though there are claims to the contrary. So I'm in debt with nothing to show for it, this is very disappointing as I've thought highly of Dr. Axe.

The only way to fix this would be to lower the price or give people more value for that much money. I can't recommend this program for people with serious health issues unaddressed rather than people simply looking to improve their health.

The advisor took time to ask good questions and really listen to my health concerns with the intent to understand. He took a lot of extra time to explain the program and all that it entails. I walked away from this first meeting feeling truly valued and supported.
