I am a 59 yr old woman who has been dealing with chronic joint pain, excessive hot sweats, weight gain, and interrupted sleep every day for years. Conventional doctors say “you are doing fine better than most”!
I have gone through several alternative functional medicine doctors and still nothing has moved the needle on my symptoms until The Health Institute with Dr. Axe. His team of practitioners are so knowledgeable and compassionate I would do this again and again! I am in my 6th week, I am sleeping through the night, 10 lbs has just rolled off of me without dieting. I can see who I used to be ! I am embracing their recommendations across the board and feel so good. I have always been a positive person, but when menopause hit and all of the symptoms came, along with the stress of caring for my elderly parents the negative voice took up residence!
Well it is gone now thanks to Falyn and the team! When you work this program and embrace it you can’t help but shift your daily routine habits! The benefits outweigh anything else! God bless the Health Institute.

Grateful
Michaela came up with some valuable guiding principles that assist me in participating in this protocol, as she does in every consultation I have with her. Her solutions help me to lift to the next level of healing. I am grateful. I wish to add that there are teachings in this protocol that go far beyond what I have heard from any conventional doctor I have seen, such as the importance of having the proper mindset to facilitate the body's ability to heal. To me, the protocol itself is not going to help me or anyone else--but we are to take self-responsibility in applying the teachings; it is up to us, not Dr. Axe or the practitioners. And that is when success can be found.

Busy Lady
While I’m a really busy lady and I’m learning to change my ways accordingly to Dr. Axe’s plan. Baby steps in changing my ways! Little by little it has opened my eyes to see what works for my body and what doesn’t! Got a ways to go but I’m glad I did this program! Thank you!

✅ It was all well worth it ✅
This program is not a quick weight loss program. Instead, it focused on my gut (the originator of all ailments).
At first, I was deceptive as to whether this will really work, especially with my health issues.
I made up my mind to devote my time and efforts to the subtle changes in food and supplements that met my needs.
I love the simple lessons and tracking my progress where I can observe what my body does. My weight was okay for a 74 year old but I was always uncomfortable with daily bloat and smelly gas and tight tummy which were not helpful, along with my mommy belly syndrome.
After getting rid of processed food, I ate according to “build your plate.” So very simple!
Supplements are gentle superfood and gentle detox. Breathing exercises helped me sleep and eat better.
With my habit changes, I had no more constipation and no more bloat and no more gas! I fit in my clothes better. BMs are finally normal. This was so successful to the point I am following the same simple and cheap ($) regimen for the rest of my life. Easy peasy.
At the end of 4 month program, what was most surprising is I have no desire for sugar like ice cream, cookies and candy. A thought of ice cream happened and I dismissed it and ended up not buying it and didn’t miss it. I admit while I cheated during the program, I was bloated, feeling unwell, gassy, and lots of saliva buildup. I don’t want that anymore. I also noticed no more bladder infections. 🙃
They have many videos, one-on-one with the dr, and simple stretching exercises. So it is never boring with these choices. Oh yeah, they have a Facebook group. I didn’t join because I am deaf and cannot benefit. But I do love my functional medicine practitioner Sydney Torres who is so personable and sweet and super helpful. I didn’t know how to cook sweet potato and she has a recipe to die for! I looked forward to my zoom call with her.
It was all well worth it! A healthier me! To my surprise, I love my graduation gift with free supplements for the remaining two months of my 6 months program. Thank you Health Institute ❤️

Life changing health benefits
My journey is at the halfway mark of 2 months & I couldn't be more pleased. My wins to date:
*Blood pressure 117/67 (from 150's)
*Off reflux meds & doing fine after being on 30+ years
*Lost 15 lbs & fit into shirts I haven't been able to wear in awhile
*Have walked 5 miles+ 28 days straight-not bad for a 70 year old
* Feel great!
My practioner Kristen O has been wonderful. You can tell she truly cares about your well being. She's given me many practical & helpful ideas.
You have to be open to learning new things, dropping some old habits & putting the work in. This is not a quick fix, but a lifestyle change that will benefit you forever. So glad I joined Dr. Axe's program.

This is a great program
This is a great program! I learned so much about the importance of eating healthy, recognizing the difference in my body when I am eating healthy as opposed to when I am not. The program provides great support! I enjoyed working with Michaela and I appreciate the support she provided. I understand more as to how my body works and what it needs to survive. My acid reflux has greatly improved, as well as my total gut health. This program has been so educational and I know now what steps I need to take to continue my health journey. Thank you Dr. Axe and your team. I would recommend this program to anyone and everyone.
