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

Too many changes from when I started the program and not worth the money I spent and am still paying. The best coaches left and alot of calls. Very disappointing!

Dr Josh Axe bases his recommendations on TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and considers it "Evidence Based". It also focuses highly on Mindset. (There, I just saved you $$$$!) He has a very kind and knowledgeable staff, however, this costs over $7100 and much of the program they had me on (auto-immune and blood sugar balancing) did not make sense. The instructions were confusing, such as foods to avoid 'Smoothies', but there were recipes for smoothies on my personalized plan! I was encouraged to eat oatmeal and rice, yet both of those raise blood sugar! I went to my Dr for labs... my cholesterol and my A1C (blood sugar) are now high! The "evidence" shows I shouldn't have wasted my time and $$$$! Most of the information shared I already knew. There were only a few recipes I enjoyed, some were pretty strange. Also, the salesman at the beginning stated the program would help open up my clogged cells to work properly, and that I should be able to get off of all my supplements. Now I'm taking more. Very disappointed with this plan, but will keep a happy mindset, eat healthy, and exercise. I hope you do the same.

I signed up for the $27 consultation hoping to jump start my road to being more healthy. I have been a loyal follower of Dr. Axe for years and love his passion. I attended the Zoom call which I thought would be a personalized discussion but it turned out to be a woman reading off a presentation who was not equipped to answer questions and actually yawning every few minutes while doing it. I received no useful information other than I was being "accepted" into the program, like I won a prize, but wait! it's going to be $3,000, $5,000 or $8,000 depending which level you choose. Oh, and wait! you have to decide NOW. So be ready for high prices and pressured decisions if you want to sign up for this. In retrospect, I have to put this in the bad decision column and will be paying for it for months to come (with interest). And, I am right back where I started. I thought I was investing in my health but what it got me was a box delivered to the door filled with 4 months of supplements, a generic eating plan (half of which I cant eat) and if there are any questions I can submit a ticket and will get an answer in a couple of days. For $3,000 (the cheapest basic plan) I really went from respecting the mission to feeling taken advantage of by a money making machine and I am truly disgusted with myself for getting sucked in. Sorry Dr. Axe, I respect your knowledge, but didn't enjoy sacrificing $3,000 I didn't even have and will be making payments on for months in exchange for a self guided tour. For that much money I expected some actual help. Extremely disappointed.
