Feeling Healthier
My goal in the program was to get to the core issues with my digestive issues I have had for some time now but also found out there were several things that needed improving. What I found was that having meal plans helped me greatly. I also wanted to be able to lose weight, get off my blood pressure meds (which I did)!!!! My calls with Naomi Dicus were very helpful. Lots of good dialogue and suggestions for other things to do in addition to the supplements. Very positive experience over these 4 months and I feel healthier for having done it. The supplements also made a huge difference in everything overall.

Hi Theresa!
Thank you for sharing your experience and the progress you’ve made over these past few months. It’s inspiring to hear how committed you’ve been to understanding the deeper layers of your digestive health and how the structured meal plans and support helped you move toward your goals.
Your dedication is reflected in the results you’ve experienced, including changes in energy, digestion, and even stepping away from blood pressure medication under your doctor’s guidance. We’re grateful to know your conversations with Naomi were helpful and that her guidance supported you in building healthy habits that felt sustainable and clear.
Warmly,

I purchased the promised book and other…
12/11/2025
I received the pdf- I also requested a return. They contacted me yesterday after many tries.
I thought it will be more in detail about the cell healing etc.
That is why I purchased it but the information I received was generic.
12/10/2025
I purchased the promised (pdf) book and other items that were included in special offer for 27$
I received about 4 automatic emails to schedule a consultation.
Nothing else. They promised a lot .

What a comprehensive program!
What a comprehensive program!! The eating plan has been easy to follow and not hard to adjust to. My practitioner has been with me every step of the way to add support, answer questions and cheer me on. Lessons and mindset focus have been a real breakthrough for me to see patterns that I didn’t know I had. Focus on sleep - mind-blowing!!!! I’ve been in programs that have some of these items. But what has closed the circle for me has been the spiritual component of fueling and caring for my body so I have the energy to do what God has planned for me!

Kudos to nutritionist Andy Babkes and clarification of REAL value vs out of pocket expense
Before I respond to the comments in the comment box
I want to give kudos to Sr Health Advisor and Clinical Nutritionist, Andrew (Andy) Babkes, CNC, FDNP, whom I just had my phone from my phone consultation with
And say it was a truly enjoyable peer to peer conversation, during which time he reminded me of things I had forgotten, and helped me refocus
Definitely grateful that I got to speak with him. He is definitely knowledgeable, kind and caring. And I am sincerely grateful to have met him and can’t say enough that I would recommend him to others if you are looking for a good nutritionist who really knows his stuff
That said, I want to address the frustrations and concerns expressed by several people in the chat box in hope of reframing your perception as to the value you will find here
As an ex nurse/self educated nutritionist, utilizing the same knowledge gathering skills that allowed me to be a straight A student and pull 91% on my boards, I understand the concern & frustrations of many of those who have commented that, in summary, they didn’t get a magic bullet of instant gratification they were hoping for, that is the false promise of modern pharmacologically based medicine.
But I want to reframe your expectations and to remind you that while medicine promises overnight results, such as instant pain relief, you didn’t get sick overnight.
And true healing also doesn’t occur overnight.
I.e. we can cut a patient open and give some immediate relief to some of their pain, but we can’t make them heal. Only nutrition can do that.
And that is something Mds are deliberate kept the dark about,
Because in our disease focused model of medicine, there is no profit to be made in healthy patients.
So it’s not the MD’s fault.
But if you want to heal, you’re going have to take it upon yourself to do so, because no insurance company is going to pay to help heal because once you’re healed, there’s no repeat business from you
So given you didn’t get sick overnight, you’re not going to heal overnight. it’s going to take time. Time which translates into a financial cost.
Ie just like you know that when you go to see your MD, it’s not the 15min allowed by the insurance companies that he spends with you that’s being paying for
It’s his years spent in college, to gather the basic knowledge that he was taught, that enables him to be able to help save your life, if and when, in the spur of the moment, you need someone to be able to.
So what you’re paying for, or rather your insurance is paying for, is both your MD’s previous time spent gathering the knowledge he now has, in addition to his current time spent staying up on the latest drugs and paraphernalia.
It is no different with going to a nutritionist, who also has spent years in school gathering his knowledge base and must also spend most of his free time studying to stay up on the latest knowledge of the REAL workings of the body.
You’re basically getting an MD’s worth of knowledge, only without the MD behind their names,
Knowledge insurance companies won’t pay for because, again, once you’re healed, there’s no repeat business
At least here you have a support system HELPING YOU GET WELL, FOR LIFE
So Please remember that next time you compare real value to cost. Your personally supporting Them so THEY CAN SUPPORT YOU. something the insurance companies won’t pay them to do

Wow… this place it’s a scam … people stay away from this place … wow Dr. axe a big scammer …. Pay for a blood test and got a zoom call telling me that I need 8000 $ diet … .. scammers
Response from The Health Institute With Dr. Josh AxeDec 9, 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We want to address your concern clearly so there is no confusion.
To be clear, the Cellular Health Regenerator program is not a diet. It is a four-month, comprehensive 1:1 health program that includes personalized coaching, targeted supplementation, custom nutrition guidance, education, community support, and ongoing accountability. This program has helped tens of thousands of students make measurable improvements in their cellular health.
Reducing it to a “diet” or calling it a scam simply doesn’t reflect what we deliver or how we serve.
When someone completes a blood test with us, they receive the kit, the lab review, and an explanation of what their results indicate. Part of that review includes outlining all available options for next steps. There is never any requirement to enroll in a program.
The recommendation you heard on your call was exactly that: a recommendation, not an obligation.
It sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding, and we’re more than willing to walk back through your experience to make sure everything is clear and handled properly. Our team is available at [email protected] and we will respond promptly.
We take both accuracy and integrity seriously, and while we respect every person’s perspective, we also want to make sure anyone reading this review has the correct information about what we do and what we stand for at The Health Institute.
Warmly,
The Health Institute

Great program, but a little pricey.
Program is easy to follow when you are motivated and want to/know you need to improve your health. There is so much guidance and support, whether it be in terms of the weekly calls, facebook support group, or your practitioner. My practitioner Alice Fabian was so great. Always there with information, guidance and realistic points of view. For me the program was successful, but you have to want to change. You can't come in to this thinking they will fix you. It's hard work. They will give you all the tools and knowledge but it's up to you. But trust me when I say if you follow thru, you will improve your health and your life. The only downside to this program is the cost. It is very expensive and unfortunately limits the people that could participate.

Hi Tammy!
Thank you for sharing such an honest and thoughtful reflection on your experience. It’s encouraging to hear how the structure, community support, and guidance from Alice helped you stay engaged and move steadily toward your goals. Your dedication and willingness to do the work clearly played a meaningful role in your progress.
The Health Institute was founded by Dr. Josh Axe and is supported by a team of highly trained health practitioners and educators dedicated to evidence-informed, cellular-health–based coaching. Our program is designed to equip students with education, tools, and a supportive environment that helps them build lasting change—just as you described.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding cost. Creating a comprehensive, multi-phase educational program with live support requires significant resources, and we understand that it may not be accessible to everyone. Hearing your perspective helps us continue evaluating how we can best serve students in different seasons and circumstances.
