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

I was very hesitant at first. I wanted my money back. Extremely busy life. I didn’t follow to the tee, but it was ok. I learned so much. Kristen Owens (practitioner)made such difference. I’m no longer on my 3 pain medication. I’ve lost 12 lbs. I’m only on thyroid. The program has changed my life. The guidance you receive is amazing.

In the beginning of this journey, I remained open-minded to what the end result could be. Phase one there were many changes no cravings resting better more energy difference in skin. All good. The first week of phase 2 was a bumpy ride. Slight diarrhea, headache achy I’m tired. I understand. This probably goes with your body eliminating toxins. Overall I am more than pleased and very encouraged and anxious each week to see my body’s changes. We all spend so much money on the outside package. This is for lasting improvement and the education is priceless.

I genuinely wanted to leave a positive review because I’ve followed Dr. Axe for years and respect much of his work. Unfortunately, my experience with The Health Institute’s Cellular Health Regenerator program was deeply disappointing. I went into debt paying over $8,000, hoping for meaningful improvement in my health, but I did not experience any significant change. The initial blood test and consultation provided some helpful insights, but when the program cost was presented, I felt pressured to make an immediate decision. Out of desperation, I agreed. Once enrolled, I realized that most of the information was geared toward beginners. As someone who has spent years learning from health experts, podcasts, and research, very little of the material was new. While the included supplements were appreciated, any additional supplements recommended for my specific issues were not covered. For the price, I expected a more comprehensive and personalized approach. The four‑month program felt like an expensive review of what I already knew, and the protocol itself did not differ much from what I was already practicing. In the end, the program did not justify its cost. I’m now in debt and still struggling with the same health concerns. The money would have been better spent on targeted supplements and therapies. I cannot recommend this program.

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!

At first I didn’t notice much but I kept to the program and ended up losing 10 pounds, sleeping better ( 8-9 hours instead of 5-6) , my digestion improved dramatically and my energy returned. Being primarily vegetarian in the past I was never a fan of meat.. ( especially not organs and bone protein) but the stem cell shake made it much easier to get the amount of protein they suggest. Plus it’s delicious. I’m sticking to this protocol from now on. I had no idea that eating protein would make me feel so much better. If you stick to it …its a game changer.

I should never have signed up for this! It’s beyond my financial capability, and the monthly payments on my credit card threw me into debt I couldn’t afford. By week 6 I was thrown into high stress of the financial burden I started emotional eating, which I’ve never done to this extent before. I had to work extra shifts which took me away from any time to participate in the program. I cried so many times just wishing it was all over so I had the monthly payments stop. It’s going to take me more month to get out from underneath this dept. first time in my life I’ve never been able to pay off my credit cards each month. I so regret signing up for this program. I’ve never been so stressed out in my life.

I thought I knew a fair amount about gut health so I was blown away by the helpful information I received especially in areas that I did not realize were an issue. I would highly recommend the program!

The Cellular Reset program was a wonderful and very helpful experience. During the first week, I saw significant improvement with one of my health issues simply by changing my diet. I discovered that there were things missing from my diet that I didn’t realize could be contributing to my health concerns. Working with a nutritionist gave me the guidance and encouragement I needed to make meaningful changes. By about the third week, I began noticing significant improvements in other areas of my health as well, and I continue to feel better and better each week! I highly recommend this program. I think you have to first decide that you want help, that you’re ready for a change, and that you’re willing to put in some effort. But what you learn through this program can benefit you for the rest of your life. The resources—including printable materials and videos—were very helpful, and everything was organized by week, making the program easy to follow. I also really appreciated the Christian and spiritual aspect of the program. Through this program, I have experienced very positive health improvements by making changes to my diet, exercising, and learning how to better manage stress. I’m very thankful for what I’ve learned and for the positive changes I’ve experienced!
