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

Having the practioners there to ask questions about your concerns with your situations. You have to make the decision to commit and continue with this program. I was hesitant at first but after I started it came to be easier for me. It's the first part that is the hardest because after we went shopping I began this program and they wanted me to empty my cupboards and replace with healthier, nutritious foods. I thought that I was eating healthy, but I was not. So this's my input.

My experience with this health company has been very good! 👍🏼 Dr.Josh Axe and his team (Savannah in particular) clearly stated in videos and personal check in appointments their full support. I never felt like I was being scolded for not doing everything just like I should. Encouraged in every phase and given clear guidelines of what to expect. The supplements were not overwhelming like some companies and Longevity’s 120 is delicious! 😋

I was so overwhelmed with many different things going on with my health over the last year and so ready for someone with the knowledge necessary but who would also take the time to REALLY LISTEN. The Health Institute program also included the mental and spiritual emphasis which was a huge bonus, teaching how everything in our bodies were and are designed to work together, how to pursue getting to the root causes and not just looking at individual symptoms! This caused me to make and keep the commitment to work my way through the process and I'm very glad I did. The only reason for giving four stars and not five is for the pressure to make the financial commitment right then and not allowing my hubby and I to work through our budget in a timely manner. Also the financial aspect was not up-front.

I learned so much about my body and how to listen to it. I was able to get relief from my fatigue and pain that I had not received doing anything else. This is a lifestyle I will be able to follow the rest of my life and live a full and healthy life.

My health had been in a downward spiral for months and my doctors were not helping me. On top of that, I had a lot of stress from a job I had just left that I had brought with me into my new job. I was desperate to get better because I couldn’t function or live my life normally. My husband & I have read Josh Axe’s books & listen to his podcast, so we knew about him before doing the program. Overall, I do feel a lot better! I was able to live my life again. I’m grateful that this program helped me to feel better because I couldn’t function for months. My hair & nails grew longer, I lost weight, & my clothes got looser! The best thing was that my husband did the program along with me. Having my teammate do the diet & workouts with me was very encouraging. I was wishing my practitioner would’ve been more involved in my health journey. We didn’t meet as much as I thought we would be. She didn’t always respond to my texts the day I’d reach out and never responded on the weekends. During our zoom calls, she didn’t always remember correctly what we had discussed in previous zoom calls or texts. My practitioner didn’t like when I would look ahead to the next upcoming phase & ask her questions about that ahead of time. Mind you, I would only ask a week prior to starting the next phase. She made it very clear to me in a rude text about wanting me to stay in the present and stop looking to the future. I didn’t appreciate that at all and believe I did nothing wrong. For the amount you pay for doing this program, I expected more time, attention, & care from the practitioner throughout the whole program. I will say I was hoping that this program would mostly or completely heal my thyroid, but I ended up having to get back on thyroid medication while taking the supplements. The thyroid medication is a lower dose than what I had done before, so that part was nice. I don’t understand why they don’t provide a blood test kit at the end of the program. I get why they give it to you at the beginning, but they should provide one at the end to see how your results look in comparison. I think that’s a huge oversight. The cost of the program is something to really think over. The price was more than I imagined, but wanted to give it a try. I did get a small discount, but still thought it was a lot to spend. We were not told up front that we’d have to pay for so much groceries & if we needed more supplements or protein powder, we’d have to pay out of pocket ourselves. It wasn’t covered by the program. The Facebook group was helpful in knowing what was ok to eat & get recipe ideas. The downside was that we bought so many groceries to stay in line with the diet that it got to be expensive. Plus, the prepping and cooking took so much time out of our days. We were tired of having to cook every single meal we ate. I admit that I missed a lot of what I used to eat before doing this program. Eating healthier didn’t make me not miss the food that was off limits or stop the cravings. The video calls were always live when I would be at work, so I never got to watch them. I’d watch the recorded ones if I thought they applied to me or were interesting. I didn’t end up watching very many of them. I felt that the mindset worksheets were not necessary for me, so I never did those. I’m going to go back to how I ate before doing the program while incorporating how I ate during it to see how I feel. I wish this hadn’t been so expensive & that my practitioner had been more involved. I felt like I did this mostly on my own with the help of my husband, so fail to see why we had to pay so much. I’d recommend that The Health Institute cover all supplement and protein powder purchases no matter what phase you’re in. Also that they give a grocery voucher to help save money on buying food that align with the program’s diet. I’m truly grateful that I’m healthier & proud of myself for completing this very challenging health program!

Connecting each of us to our individual practitioner and having the check-ins via Zoom - very helpful! Having a system that truly cares about your success and how you physically feel during each phase and transition. Quick response to texting questions and needing to adjust a supplement due to a doctor’s visit. Slight blip from a delay in supplements that were ordered and then not processed which put me a week behind my husband in our journey together. We are not on Facebook so we are not part of that conversation.

I learned the best foods to eat and it made me feel better and I lost weight. I would recommend this program

The program was a good experience overall. I learned how to change my eating habits, it was ok prior to the program, but was far from improving my current health. The program was an eye opener and if followed as recommended it took away the cravings of foods that weren't the best until my goals were reached - but that depended how healthy my original choices were! as stated - it was a good eye opener of all my previous choices
