The Health Institute With Dr. Josh Axe Reviews 

Taynua listens well and helps me come up with options as how to make the situation a win.

Fantastic products, videos, support, coaching! GIving a 4 because I believe the price for the package I got was a bit steep. Otherwise highly recommend!

I am a 72 year old woman who was not feeling much vitality and was not happy with the way I looked.
I was taking supplements that I thought would help with my symptoms, and eating nutritious foods, but not much helped because I really needed to detoxify my body.
The protocol that we follow at The Health Institute is one step at a time, and very supportive. After week one I could feel things starting to change internally.
From week two, my husband said he noticed a change like my body was getting firmer.
I am beginning week eight now. My brain-fog has cleared!My energy level is up much more than I expected, and I have lost 20 pounds so far! I was looking into the GLP-1 shots, but the horrible side effects kept me away.
It really is an educational program because you learn so much about how your body is intended to function. I don't want to live forever, but I want to feel great while I'm here!

“The Biggest Steal of 2026” —they got that part right.
I purchased The Health Institute’s $27 “Cellular Health Analysis” after seeing one of these Facebook promotions. I spent approximately an hour completing an extensive online health intake that was supposed to be reviewed before a scheduled one-hour consultation, where I expected to receive an analysis and comprehensive plan based on what I purchased and the information I provided.
That is not what happened.
I scheduled my one hour consultation for noon through their own calendar. Instead, I received a call shortly after 11 a.m. The man who called repeatedly told me I was not a “good fit” and claimed I was looking for bloodwork. I never requested bloodwork and had recently had extensive bloodwork done.
He also insisted that The Health Institute had sent me two confirmation emails, including one that morning. I told him I had received neither and asked him to tell me the email address they were using. He gave me an email address belonging to someone named Mary. I am not Mary.
That was particularly concerning considering I had just provided extensive personal health information through their intake process.
I also asked who the man was in the promotional video I had watched before purchasing. He couldn't tell me. I had not even known I was dealing with a Dr. Josh Axe program and advised that other emails I had sent were never answered. Instead of explaining the promotion I had actually purchased, the caller repeatedly told me about Dr. Axe, claimed he had approximately two million patients and described him as the number-one/top doctor in the country.
I never received the one-hour consultation I purchased. I never received the promised analysis or comprehensive plan based upon the intake I spent approximately an hour completing. I requested a refund.
Since then, I have continued seeing promotionals linked to them advertised heavily on Facebook through different doctor-branded promotions and different offers. I am posting this review because consumers considering these promotions should know exactly what my experience was before paying money and turning over extensive personal health information.

I’ll just start out by saying the intention to help people is honorable and the products I’m sure are good quality. Dr. Axe Dr. Will Cole are reputable doctors.

However, I have to tell you about my consultation. I couldn’t help but laugh throughout the majority and I really hope that somebody watches my zoom back and recognizes how excessive my sales advisor was.

Firstly, she smiled once and was pretty unfriendly. She spoke in some somewhat of a condescending tone. Using mmkay? and do you understand? After every sentence.

I recognize as someone who’s gone through extensive coach training and sales training that this was a sales pitch meant to utilize fear tactics to get desperate people to sign up for an $8500 program. At certain points her approach was so excessive I just burst out laughing and she just sat there and stared at me. She used language like “we only accept people that are actually committed to healing their health” and “ your scores are high and they should be confronted immediately, so are you ready and committed?” —BTW I never received my results, couldn’t access them through the link provided and saw ZERO documented material through out the entire call (I answered the majority of the questions on the questionnaire with sometimes, rarely and never) which subconsciously makes people feel like they need to prove they’re ready or worthy and als emphasizes the exclusivity of this “service” even though they’re accepting hundreds of people a month if not more.

They emphasize being a religious organization, so they’re very close knit, alluding to integrity but again their sales approach focuses on fear mongering, exclusive language, and “only if you sign up today” FOMO.

I told her I cannot agree to commit to anything because you’ve shown me zero material in regards to this program. You’ve shown me no structure, no presentation, and no evidence of the quality of your products. I said I would assume that all of the supplements you recommend have transparent labeling, and our third-party lab tested to which her response was “ you mean your blood work?” and I said no I’m talking about evidence that the supplements you are recommending are high-quality and third-party tested for quality standards. Her response was “of course…”

Anyhow, I told her to call me back in two weeks, which would give me time to do some research into the efficacy of their program and products if there’s any information online, which I highly doubt is readily available.

Overall, the experience read as an inexperienced sales call for a coaching program that isn’t fully fleshed out.

I have no doubts They’ve helped many many people heal and improve their health. But I will not invest in their program.

My Mother-in-Law trusted these people because they are "Christian" but their practices are very disceptive and misleading. The results call for the $25 blood test turns into a high-pressure sales pitch for an $8000 program.

She told them she couldn't afford that so, like any seasoned scam artist, they let her pay just 2,000 now and could pay the rest later. And that she could get a 10% discount, but only if she signed up today! All typical scam tactics.

That said, they are selling a real product, but it's a bunch of overpriced supplements and online courses. My mother in law doesn't even have a computer. My wife took her laptop to her Mom's house to help her with the video consult (which isn't with a dr or even a proper lab tech, but rather some 3rd party person that doesn't work for the company that's trained to read the results and sell you the program.)

My MIL felt so pressured, like the guy convinced her she could die soon without it, she felt she had not other option but to sign up. Now a couple days later, the reality is setting in. She cannot afford the program, she doesn't own a computer and it's all online, and it's all structured so that she cannot cancel or get her money back. They scheduled her next online consult, but my wife cannot be there because she already has prior obligations at that time. So, MIL won't be able to do this consult and they won't let her reschedule.

Aleksandra is an absolute gem!! She held space and allowed me to feel safe about being vulnerable. Although my life feels extremely heavy, she made me feel there's light at the end of the tunnel. The plan is organized, informative and just what many of us NEED right now. Anyone looking to make a positive change to their health, should give the assessment a try.

The care, concern, and consistent support was exceptional. I joined the program feeling so defeated. I felt like I had tried everything to improve my health and nothing was working. I graduated the program with a new sense of empowerment and confidence and seeing actual results!

From the first phone call with the advisor to my practitioner it has been an incredible experience. They have been so kind so sensitive with a true desire to help me in my journey onto better health. I always felt that I was truly heard, therefore there was a sincere desire to help me and guide me.
I know now that I do not have to depend on western medicine to heal my body. I have made improvements that I did not think possible. I have more energy, I feel so much better and so many of my joint pains have subsided. I cannot thank the program enough. Thank you Dr.Axe :)

My experience with The Health Institute of Dr. Axe was very positive and truly educational. What I appreciated most was learning about functional health and the importance of what we put into our bodies. The program helped me understand that wellness is about looking at the body as a whole and building a healthy foundation rather than focusing only on weight loss.
One thing that stood out to me was that although I did not lose weight during the program, I noticed significant changes in my body. I felt that much of the inflammation I had been experiencing improved. For example, before the program, my pointer finger was so painful when I bent it that I couldn't make a complete fist. During the program, I noticed a significant improvement in how my finger felt and my ability to bend it.

This program changed my life! I was constantly suffering from inflammation and fatigue. This program gave me the tools to guide me to better health using food that is easily acquired from your local grocery store and not some gimmicky products. It is sustainable. Well worth the money!

I suffered from long COVID for 4 years. I was extremely fatigued, had very low cortisol and felt unwell for such a long period of time. It almost seemed normal to me. I have been following Dr Axe for years. Love him! I have always believed in his TCM principles, philosophies, and teachings. And have implemented many of them over the years. So when I saw about doing the bloodwork and the program for healing at a cellular level, I decided to try the program. Throughout my healing journey on this program, I have felt supported , guided and cared for every step of the way. Holly P. my nutrition consultant/practitioner was compassionate , very knowledgeable, and readily available anytime I needed support. Especially for me, as I didn’t use the Facebook group like most people do. Which is another great route for support and answering any questions along the way, if you do social media. The recipes are super easy to follow and change along the way when your program is focused on your own health needs and goals after a period of time. Which I found very helpful. The program portal is super easy to navigate. It really covers lots of information. I love the playback calls as I couldn’t always join the live group calls. It’s great cause you can listen anytime to the replays. And when the program is completed, you own all of the material you learned throughout the entire program for life. So anytime you need to revisit the program, it’s accessible. As well as the recipes. After my 4 months on the program, I can actually say I feel like my old self again! I have sustained energy levels all day long! That was the biggest win for me! That’s how I know my body is finally healing itself. Another huge win was my blood sugar. It was out of control for a few years and very unstable. Following the proper diet and guidelines helped regulate it and I no longer have blood sugar issues. And since it’s balanced I no longer snack between meals or feel hungry all day long. Another win!! Being able to exercise again is another big win for me too! The workout guidelines are very easy to follow and doable for ever individual. Going forward with all my progress, I am staying the course and following these principles for the rest of my life. This lifestyle is absolutely maintainable long term. I know the expense of the program can be a little bit of a shock. But if you are anything like me and you have jumped from Dr. to Dr or tried one supplement right after another one etc , then you know how fast that adds up. But I can tell you , I had many failed attempts prior with other programs, Drs, and supplements etc.But finally had much success with this one. So if you are willing to 100% commit to yourself and to the program, then I say find a way and go for it. You will come out a different person. A much healthier and happier version of yourself. If you end up getting my nutrition consultant /practitioner Holly P. you will see she is one of the best!! She’s an inspiration to us all!! Good luck on all of your healing journeys ! Wishing you all much health and happiness !

The information we are given per videos by the Drs. are very informative and give very good results if one follows them. Our one on one time with Linda O. was very helpful; she showed and demonstrated genuine interest and expertise needed for my progress. When I had specific questions she always got back to me in a timely manner with the help I needed.

I have a lot of input to share but I am to slow at typing to explain it all

The people is what makes this great! The nurse practitioner I meet with (Linda) monthly is fabulous. Enjoy the zoom calls when I can pop in. The information builds in the sessions so it’s not overwhelming. An emphasis on progress over perfection.

Im on week 3 of phase 1 and I have lost 6 lbs. these are pounds I could not get to budge. my sugar cravings are gone and my energy level is up, I still have some days where I get tired in the afternoon but it is improving. I am not bloated....which I love the most. I am so excited for this journey and hopeful that my health will be restored and I will be able to do all things I love to do well into my 70's and beyond.

Since being in this program I have taken each day in stride. Taking the supplements and making my mind up to eat well with each meal. The biggest change is my heartburn at night is completely gone. Then my afternoon tiredness began to ease off.
Then cravings for sweets just went away. Treating myself to a small ice-cream once in a while didn’t throw me off. I focused on the changes a little at a time. Feeling better and loosing 9 lbs. so far is a result of a “one day at a time” mentality. Focusing on our health is necessary so we can keep enjoying the blessings of each day we are given.

Mia was so knowledgeable And so kind and compassionate.i actually thought she was one of the practioners.I am living on ss and don't know how I can afford this but Mia was wonderful.

Lots of support and information. Jade was a wonderful, friendly, and professional guide.

Holly Peyer made my experience great. The information she provided was extremely useful for my health care. The program in general is extensive and you can do a deep dive into your personal health care. I’m enjoying the vitamin system and my overall health has definitely improved.
