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
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.

My experience with the program.…
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…
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
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!
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 test results…
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.

that is where the program helped.
