Save your money! I had reactions to some of the supplements. My time has run out and I haven’t gotten to phase 4 yet. I am really disappointed!

Great, informative interaction!
John explained the results assessment I took in clear terms, explaining where my health was at and Dr. Axes program extensively. By the time we were done, I knew exactly what to expect with the program and what it could do for me. He was friendly, informative and down to earth!

My experience with The Health Institute…
My experience with The Health Institute and Josh Axe has been amazing. I’ve truly appreciated the excellent customer service throughout the entire process. The program itself was a real eye-opener, and I completed it feeling healthier and empowered with a significant mindset shift toward better habits.I’m now more intentional about what I eat, how I care for my body, and how I feel day to day. Every dollar I invested was absolutely worth it, and I’m so grateful I chose this path for my health.

THI offers the whole package experience!
THI has a great support system, great practitioners, and a lot of really good information to learn and implement to help create overall improved health. I thought I knew quite a bit about holistic health but I was totally off track and my body was screaming at me. I am grateful for all I have learned and will continue to use my new healthy habits to heal and see more results. My gut health is amazing now and my weight loss has been a bonus and I even cured my “hangry” issues which I didn’t know I could change! I know there is more to learn and am excited to join the concierge portion of the program to continue my health journey.

Learning and acting
My experience became foundational knowledge that I’ll have long after the program ends and I stop continuing in concierge. Learning about the body at the cellular level and how intertwined all the pieces fit together (thanks be to God!), I have a new appreciation for what I consume and how it will affect me. I’m not a science person, so having Dr Axe and the support staff give this information in ways I can understand is invaluable. Thank you.

I highly recommend this program!
I highly recommend this program!I remember reading an ad by Dr. Axe that you shouldn’t feel bad in your 50’s, it is not normal. I was waking up with zero energy, no zeal and had such a hard time getting going in the morning. I didn’t realize how bad I felt until I started this program.I decided to join and I have not looked back. I am two months in and I am so happy to report I have lots of energy when I wake up, I have zeal again and jump out of bed. And a huge plus, I lost 19 pounds.I have an AMAZING coach - Donna who checks in with me. She is so helpful and supportive. I had an issue early on and she was right there beside me helping me tweak things so I was able to work through the challenge.I love their philosophy - to focus on small sustainable changes each week rather than trying to do it all at once. And to focus on our wins.There is so much support here - Donna encourages me to text her with anything that I need help with. I have never been a part of a group like this before. You are treated as an individual not another patient who they have no time for.I can’t tell you how this program has changed my life - I had no idea how bad things had gotten. It feels so good to feel good!I still have a ways to go and know that I will feel better and better as time goes by. I would recommend this to anyone … you will not be sorry you invested in yourself!And a HUGE bonus for me is how God is spoken of by Dr. Axe. God is an integral part of this program and that is very important to me!

Don't waste your time or money
I sent in my blood sample and was contacted by them and set a date to go over my test results. I never received the scheduled phone call. They sent me another blood sample kit after a request. I never received and call about my second blood sample. My wife had the same issues. Long store short I met with a staff member and felt like the whole meeting was all about sales. Very disappointed and I wish I could get a refund. Don't waste your time and money. I never received a physical copy of my blood results.

Mission accomplished!
I made it! Four months seemed impossible, but it wasn’t! I lost 23 pounds and feel 1000% better than I used to. Stephanie was awesome. She was kind and took her time to answer all of my questions. I feel informed for the future and have the tools I need to be successful. Here is to lifelong health!

Buyer Beware
My wife ordered this product/service on February 12 during what was intended to be an “informational” Zoom call, but turned out to be a high-pressure sales call, in which the level of support that would be offered was highly overstated. On February 17, she received an in-home blood test, which she was hoping to use on the morning of February 18. However, the instructions were unclear for a rather scary test and she was unable to reach support using the code they gave. Therefore, she did not go through with it. While this company has received some good reviews, I wish we had read the negative comments before signing up. Those comments are right in line with our personal experience, and this has been a complete waste of $8,000 for us. It was a weak moment when this decision was made, as we had both been dealing with the flu, we were exhausted, and my wife was desperately trying to find alternative help following harmful cancer treatments. It should be noted that I rarely write negative reviews, so for anyone considering this program, please heed my warning. Watch out for any high-pressure sales tactics that offer seemingly-unrealistic levels of support. They will have you sign a form that says you are not entitled to any refund under any circumstance, which my wife signed electronically as the representative was talking to her following my go-ahead to make the purchase. Make sure that the program is right for YOU, regardless of what claims are made about others’ successes. Under no circumstance would we ever have anything else to do with this company again.2/20/26-i just noticed that they somewhat responded to my critique. As expected, it had “canned response” written all over it. It was long and yet said little. To the National Health Institute, or whatever you are, perhaps you can fool some, but I doubt you’re really fooling that many people; certainly not me. People are smarter than you might think, and can see through the garbage. There is a lot of legitimacy to these negative reviews, as I have seen personally, and all you do is explain how they’re wrong and you’re sure sorry their faulty judgement led them to see what they see. Does that just about sum it up? I thought so. My wording was actually intentionally kinder in my first review than it could have otherwise been, but your condescending message only served to insult my intelligence. There is no need to bother; I see through it all, as I expect most others do too. Nice try though.

It’s not about perfection but persistence
This program helped me to realize how much my thoughts influence my health. I’ve tried many programs, that helped to some degree, but they did not address the importance of my mental state in having success and to address my health issues. I’ve had more success with the one-on-one support and worksheets. I’ve still got some health issues but I am on a great path to a strong, healthy lifestyle and know I have the tools (besides the clean eating) to reach my goals. It took 64 years for my body to get to this state so I know it will take time to reach my goal of resetting my state of health but I’m willing to steadily move forward and not look back.

Not what I expected
There were a lot of things that went wrong not to good of a start. Cost very expensive for the services. A nutritionist with 30 min block, once a month. Tried to cancel before continuing then gave it a try since 1 person handling all new client took forever. Cost too much for a few sessions with nutritionists, self study program, sure hard to navigate. You don't get anything like resources no one calls to help you with concerns I needed help was told I would be contacted and never was. I trusted Dr. axe but, he is not a man of integrity. I missed a whole month with no help when I started they did not make it up to me. My nutritionist left and they kept cancelling me to reschedule. I do not recommend this program. I am left paying 5 k because there was no one to talk to.

Dr. Axe-Cellular Health Regeneration
What made my experience great? My practitioner was very caring and knowledgeable of the protocol, the Facebook page where I could search any question and get the answer I was looking for, videos, meal plans, food lists, learning to listen to my body and much more. This program is life changing if you give it your time and stick with it.

I was expecting a review of results…
I was expecting a review of results from a doctor. We got a sales pitch that mirrored that of a time share. The sales person made ridiculous statements: all medication is toxic; all herbal supplements are good for you-regardless of your underlying conditions. She claimed his treatment would reverse glaucoma. She searched buzzwords in patient files as objective evidence. Yes. Send me information on how to get a refund.

The Health Institute with Dr
The Health Institute with Dr. Josh Axe, provided me with accurate information to improve my health. For the price, I wish it had included blood work at the beginning and end of the program. Also, it would have been nice to include more supplements if needed. It is comprehensive, working not only with nutrition but mindset, emotional, spiritual wellness. The supplements recommended were helpful, as well as information on where to get other supplements as needed.

SCAM!!
SCAM!!! Do not take the test and definitely don’t give them more money for their program. So much high pressure in a sales call! Lots of promises of getting you completely healed with the supposed problems you have from the test results. The test results were completely falsified. We have blood work surrounding this test that proves that. Supplement pushing of their brand only. Another bad sign! There has been no health benefits to this program. Just an $8000 loss and a waste of time. Paid in September so conveniently enough to long to get a chargeback to work for a refund. These are sales people - NOT health professionals. Do not waste your money or time. Lots of empty promises and money we could’ve used elsewhere for actual healing. Very disgusted with Dr. Axe and this scam of a supposed health institute. So many people in here saying they were promised things and it never happened. Listen to those! These other good reviews are all part of the scam.

I love all of the education that I received.
I love all of the education that I received! Not just from Dr Axe, but from my practitioner, and from the other practitioners in the FB group! I love that there are suggested recipes to help give you ideas what to make; activities to help you look at positives (turn your negative thought to a positive thought); suggested exercises on different levels; the program was segmented to help you process everything throughout the program.

In speaking with Gabby Cuoto
In speaking with Gabby, I felt like I got a lot of answers as to why certain things were happening in terms of my health, especially the chronic inflammation that's occurring and my cells being unable to uptake the energy/nutrients my body needs. Gabby was very patient in explaining things to me and asking/answering questions
