The Health Institute With Dr. Josh AxeReviews of thehealthinstitute.com

I’ve listened to Dr. Axe for a while, even before enrolling in his program. His guidance is very helpful and I live the products he recommends. Even though I did not follow the program 100%, I have felt a difference in my energy and the way I feel. I plan to go through the steps of the program until I’m at least at 80%. Thank you!

My experience with the Dr. Josh Axe program was very very positive! I really know it was an answer to prayer. I had received a worrisome report from my bloodwork in May of this year. My liver enzymes were elevated and after the second test, they had continued to rise! This wasn’t my only issue but my main concern! After my second month in the program, my doctor ordered more bloodwork and my liver enzymes had already gone back into the normal range! What a relief that was! Needless to say I knew this program was a godsend! Dr. Axe’s videos, recommended recipes and great supplementation targeted several other issues in my body too. He educates his clients so well on healing at a cellular level for permanent results! His support team is so well informed on all of his protocols and is always there if you need to reach out! My practitioner, Jessy Rivera, was so helpful and always responsive when I needed advice. She was a huge part of my success! At the end of the program I had lost 24 pounds, had healthy liver enzymes, regular bowel movements ( which had been a lifelong problem), great thyroid numbers and just an overall feeling of wellbeing. I would recommend this program to anyone needing to restore their health. It’s worth every cent!

What a scam! What a waste of my precious time that could have been used for anything else. What an annoying sales pitch. It felt like the worst job interview. The most obvious sales tactics used to convince you to buy something that’s not explained to you at all for $8500. And when you say you need to think about it before you commit they pull out another terrible sales tactic meant to make you feel a sense of urgency as they can only accept a limited number of people. What a joke! They don’t even wanna tell you anything about what this program is unless you agree to move forward. I didn’t know what I was signing up for all or I would have never agreed to waste my time. I wanted to hang up so many times from how bad it was. They play some psychological game on you trying to make you feel that you’re not committed to your health if you don’t commit to this mystery program. I usually look up things online to read testimonials before I pay for anything. I don’t know why I fell for this one. If you are smart and you came to read reviews first, my advise it don’t do it and run for your life! The sad part is that if I spoke with a real health care practitioner not some cheap car salesman and had the program really explained to me and how things will be done to help me, I might have agreed to pay that price if I saw the value in it. No value was sold to me in this cheap sales presentation, so disappointing!

I had my consultation today, and I was very pleased. Mr. Murat started our meeting off by congratulating me on my numbers. We went through all the markers together and at the end of the consultation he advised me to just keep up the good work. He was very pleasant, thorough, and did not try to sell me anything. I truly feel the Dr. Axe Team sincerely wants to help people. Pursuing good health takes effort and is not cheap. I have spent thousands of dollars over the last 20+ years pursuing good health. Today I felt very rewarded for all my efforts.

I am writing this review to warn others: AVOID The Health Institute with Dr. Josh Axe. This service is an absolute waste of time and money and feels like a scam disguised as health consultation. The entire process was defined by service failures, incompetence, and dishonesty: 1. The Scheduling Nightmare: The original consultation was canceled by their team with less than 24 hours' notice. The rescheduled appointment resulted in a NO-SHOW by their assigned Senior Health Advisor. I was present and ready for the Zoom call, but the advisor never showed. Adding insult to injury, their administration then falsely claimed that I missed the appointment. 2. The Useless Results: After the advisor no-showed, I demanded a resolution via email. My raw blood work results were dumped in my inbox 25 hours after my complaint. Crucially, they NEVER rescheduled the promised consultation. The entire purpose of paying for this service—clinical interpretation and actionable steps—was completely unfulfilled. I have no idea what my results mean or what actions to take. 3. Refusal to Refund: Despite multiple severe service failures and their absolute failure to deliver the core service, they have refused to issue a full refund. My Verdict: This company provides data, but no discernible clinical service or professionalism. I am now going directly to a real medical professional for a full, proper blood panel and interpretation. I strongly advise everyone to save your money and time. Go directly to a qualified practitioner who offers real medical care, such as a Doctor of Osteopathic (DO) or an Integrative Medical Doctor (MD). Do not fall for this service.

So my husband & I started this program back on October 20th, however before that we were already eating mostly clean! My husband had injured his back while in the military, & he struggles with MANY allergic reactions to medicine in general but especially to pain medication. In researching we found that much of what we eat caused inflammation, hence pain! So we started changing our ways several years ago. When my husband hooked up with Dr Axe about 5 years ago he started learning many helpful things! So when we received the invite for this program we jumped on it. Not knowing exactly what we were getting into but trusting Dr Axe! I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes 49 years ago & although I have NO major complications, I have had things... like in January of 2025 I was diagnosed with arthritis in my left knee. Several years ago I was also diagnosed with Psoriasis on my hands & was given steroid creams to help, but they say it's incurable. 😪 We also have 16 grandchildren & 1 great grandchild! 🎉🎊 We also pastor a church in CNY. So my goal with this program is to get healthy, ALL the way around! Well within the first week I noticed that the skin on my hands was so soft! Almost like a babies bottom! I have since noticed, depending on how many dishes I wash & how much my hands are in the water, that sometimes my hands get a little dry but there have been NO open wounds & the lotion (which I bought that has NO yuck in it!) is the answer to that! It's also happening less & less frequently! Thank You Jesus! I sent my Practionor pictures of my insulin pump (& of my hands), showing that my sugar is running at almost 100% in target range constantly! I can't wait to get my next A1C done! As I stated at the beginning, we have been eating mostly clean for some time now so it really hasn't been that hard for me! When I think I want something that I shouldn't eat, I remind myself that we are paying a lot of money for this program & if I do it once it will only be easier to do it again! So I don't! 🎊🎉 To me this is the best program I have ever done! The people involved are so helpful & friendly! You just need to be open minded & have a desire to be healthy! We are just starting our 4th week now & I promised myself I was NOT going to jump on the scale frequently, so I haven't weighed myself since we started. (My plan is to weigh myself & take measurements only once a month) That being said even if I don't lose weight, the goal here is to be healthy above all else, I believe the weight will come off in time! However, I feel like I'm losing inches! I can move better & that is what this is all about! Ohhhh & my knee, we live in CNY & are going into the winter months... so it's cold here! So I still get pain from time to time, but overall my pain level has decreased tremendously!! And I am walking better, if you didn't know that I've been diagnosed with arthritis, you certainly wouldn't know that I was struggling at all! 🎊🎉 IF you are serious, I recommend this program! It's a winner in my eyes, I'm seeing great results already & we still have 3 (5) months to go! But YOU have to do the work! Noone can do it for you! Best of luck to you all! Kathy Kotlarz

The practioners were extremely helpful in answering every question I had throughout the program. They were very good at pointing out progress over perfection. I liked being able to watch videos of some of the Zoom meetings I missed. Dr. Axe is a wealth of knowledge and very patient with answering questions, as were the other practioners. I've seen improvement in sleep, digestion, more energy, less pain, and I've lost 17lbs without being hungry. They also pointed out how important lowering stress by breathing techniques, exercise, sunshine, journaling (which I haven't done enough of), and meditation. The only thing I would like to see changed is having an instruction book that would also include recipes.

All the information that I received was very helpful! When I started I was desperate to feel better, sleep better and get a grip on my poor eating habits. All the information and resources were awesome. Check in calls with my practitioner were wonderful. The supplements were exactly what my body needed.
