The program was very good. I have always followed and like Dr. Axe.
I'm on fixed income and need to keep my health in check so the program helped me greatly.
The things I was hoping to get through I still have, my migraines, aches in my hips and on top of that I have just got planterfaseitis.
Confused a little but hoping the program is still accessible, so I'm going back to the restart it over again and this time hopes what ever I missed I will be able to accomplish.

Hi Linda!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re so glad to hear that you found value in the program and that it’s been a helpful resource for maintaining your health. It’s completely understandable that you’d want to revisit the program to make sure you’re getting the most out of it.
We know that healing takes time and consistency, and sometimes revisiting the material can help clarify things and bring new insights. Migraines, aches, and other challenges can be frustrating, but with patience and focus, many students continue to see improvements as they move through the phases at their own pace.
With respect,

To better help the company I definitely…
To better help the company I definitely will be honest no reason not to, I didn’t think it worked for me to stop all my vitamins that I was taking before I started taking Dr. Axe recommended supplements, one of the reasons is because I was already taking three of the supplements that he recommended, and I paid more through the program for my supplements than I did through ancient nutrition that was not worth it to me. I would’ve been better off without the supplements, instead the program should ask what supplements am I already taken? so that they don’t make me take the same thing and pay more for it. And some of us make a big sacrifice to join the program for the amount of money that it is,
I think it would be great if they gave us an option of taking supplements or not or get more information on what supplements we’re already taking so it was a bad start for me when I got my supplements and realized it was quite a few that I was already taking which are three.
I tried to cancel the supplements, but that was not an option.
I also missed a few of the first Q&A‘s with Dr. Axe at the beginning because they had my timing wrong, I was logging in at the wrong time, that was corrected after,
I feel that this program works much better for a person who does not have a full-time job or has a spouse to help with every day Life, as I am a single mom and full-time worker, and that was hard and stressful at times, the time went very fast for me and with busyness I couldn’t catch up and kind of stressed my own self out.
Also, when listening to Dr. Axe Q&A’s, I would get certain information information and then get A different one from my practitioner and that just left me confused at times,
One thing I could say that I learned is mindset, to shift your mind to thinking differently I think that’s very important because some of us don’t even know how to do that, but with the steps through the program, I learned how to do that and continue to learn I am still in phase 4, and trying to work through it and will go over it again until I get it
Thank you I hope this helped

Hi Sonia!
Thank you for sharing such an honest and thoughtful reflection. It’s clear how much dedication you’ve brought to this process while balancing the demands of work, single parenting, and daily life. That takes real strength, and we appreciate you trusting us with your experience.
Your feedback about supplements, scheduling, and the learning curve in the early phases is valuable. Every student begins with a unique health history, and understanding what someone is already using can absolutely help us provide clearer guidance and prevent any confusion. We’re grateful you highlighted this, as it helps us continue improving how we support each person entering the program.
We’re encouraged to hear that the mindset practices have been meaningful for you and that you’re committed to continuing through Phase 4 at a pace that serves you.
With respect,

Beneficial, but Could Be Better
I appreciated all the information and help that was given, the people that I interacted with, and what supplements I was given. I did think the blood test was interesting, and I did feel mostly better. I do wish more tests were included in the price because it is a huge amount and there should have been more done for me so I didn't have to waste more time finding other means to have things checked (like gut, cortisol, parasite, etc.) I probably wouldn't do it again because of what I got (and didn't get) for the price. This isn't to say that the people that helped me were terrible, because everyone was amazing, but things could be better because of how expensive it was.

Good with reservations
I appreciate the thoroughness of the bloodwork. The consultation was fine though I did feel a bit of sales pitch regarding purchasing the plan. My biggest complaint is that I have yet to receive the results of my blood work in any format. I’ve emailed with no response

For the cost it was a disappointment
For the cost it was a disappointment. I did learn a lot, but felt more time could be spent with my coach. Didn’t see results like I thought I would.

Cost/Benefit - Not Great
The best part of this program was the weekly calls with Dr. Axe and his generosity in be available to answer our specific questions. I do however think the questions should be limited to the participants of the program and their health concerns and not the health concerns of their family members. The rest of the program is very canned and not specifically targeted to the individual. For the cost, it should be more specific to each individuals needs. The practitioner that you meet with is very limited in what they are allowed to recommend so it would be better to have practitioners with higher educational degrees or licenses in order to be more prescriptive to the individuals needs. Again, given the amount of money that this program costs, I think the benefit is just not great. I would have rather spend the money on a functional medicine doctor that could tailor everything to my specific needs.

Thank you for your honest and thoughtful feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you found value in the weekly calls with Dr. Axe and appreciated his personal engagement — it’s something we know means a lot to participants, and we’re grateful you experienced that firsthand.
We also hear your concerns loud and clear. Your feedback about the scope of the practitioners and question format during the calls is important, and it helps us continue refining how we serve our clients at a higher standard.
While we aim to provide a structured system that equips as many people as possible, we recognize it may not offer the level of individualization that some are seeking — especially when compared to ongoing care from a licensed functional medicine provider.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. Your insight is helping us grow.
With respect,

So the diet was what I already knew
So the diet was what I already knew, my goal was to get rid of joint pain and balance hormones. I'm sure it was quite helpful to have all the supplements however I ended the program with the same amount of joint pain and then we entered a program for heavy metal detoxing. So the amount of money I spent on your program was of minimal help. I realize for the average person it's probably a brand new way of life but for me it did not improve my symptoms.
Response from The Health Institute With Dr. Josh AxeAug 4, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the program didn’t lead to the improvements you were hoping for.
While many clients see significant changes in energy, inflammation, and overall health, we recognize that everyone’s journey is different — especially if you’ve already implemented many foundational practices.
If you’d like to speak further or share more about your experience, please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected] or give us a call at 878-295-8339 ext. 1004 and again, thank you for the feedback.
