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

I recently completed the Health Institute program, which cost approximately $7,000, and unfortunately, I walked away feeling disappointed and somewhat taken advantage of. While I appreciated the monthly consultations and supplements provided, I feel the overall program is significantly overpriced for what you receive. My biggest disappointment came at the end of the program. I expected follow-up blood work to evaluate my progress and see whether the program had actually improved my health. Instead, I was offered two additional months at no charge, followed by a $199 monthly fee, with blood work at the 3rd month. For an $7,000 investment, I believe follow-up testing should be included before the program ends. I also found the initial sales process uncomfortable. Although the representative was very pleasant, the conversation eventually felt like a high-pressure sales pitch, with questions that made me feel guilty for potentially choosing not to invest in my health. I don't believe anyone should feel pressured into making such a significant financial commitment. I do want to recognize Jade, who worked with me throughout the program. She was absolutely wonderful, professional, supportive, and genuinely caring. My disappointment is not with her, but rather with the structure, pricing, and overall approach of the program. Ultimately, I believe the Health Institute needs to provide greater transparency, better value, and measurable results as part of its program. At this price point, I expected much more.

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE THERE IS NO WEALTH IN HEALTH IMAGINE IF YOU WILL A MAN DRIVING A TAXI WITH A COUPLE SENIOR CITIZENS WHO ARE DISABLED. HE COMES TO A RAIL ROAD CROSSING HE STOPS THE TRAIN IS COMING BLOWING THE WHISTLE. HE DECIDES HE CAN BEAT THE TRAIN AND GET ACROSS THE TRACTS .SO HE STARTS CROSSING AND THE CAR STALLS .IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRACTS HE HAS A DECISION HE CAN JUMP OUT OF THE CAR AND SAVE HIM SELF OR HE CAN GET OUT AND PUSH THE CAR BACK OFF THE TRACKS WHICH WOULD SACRIFICE HIMSELF TO SAVE THE SENIORS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS JESUS SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO SAVE US. MAKING SACRIFICES TO HELP OTHER'S ISN'T EASY BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH OUR PERSONAL WANTS DESIRES. MY WIFE HAS A LOT OF HEALTH PROBLEMS AND I WANTED TO FIND A WAY TO HELP HER. I HAVE FOUND OUR MEDICAL SYSTEM OBAMA CARE TO BE A FAILED SYSTEM WHICH I DON'T TRUST OR USE . I CAME ACROSS THE DR AX HEALTH INSTITUTION. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THIS IS GREAT IT PROVIDES A WAY OF ESCAPE FROM COSTLY DIEASE CARE . BUT AFTER LOOKING AT THE COST OF TESTS FOR BLOOD AND HEALTH ANALYSIS I THOUGHT I CANNOT AFFORD THIS. BUT THEN DR AX SAID HE WAS DROPPING THE PRICE OF THOSE TESTS. SO I PAID FOR ONE FOR MY SELF A HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE WITH A BLOOD TEST AND ONE FOR MY WIFE. THE COUNCILING APPOINTMENT WHICH IS REQUIRED TO EVEN DETERMINE THE COST OF THE PROGRAM I FEEL WAS MISLEADING .I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT FOOD WE WOULD EAT AND WAS TOLD THAT WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM IT WAS ALL PART OF THE PROGRAM. THE PART THAT WAS LEFT OUT WAS THIS ARRANGEMENT IS ONLY FOR FOUR MONTHS. I WOULD NEVER HAVE AGREED TO PAYING $ 8,497.00 FOR 4 MONTHS OF FOOD AND COACHING FROM A FOOD NUTRITIONIST . SO WAS THERE REALLY A DISCOUNT ALL THE PRICES SLASHED FOR ALL THE HELP OF THE INSTITUTE NO ABSOLUTELY NOT IT WAS DESIGNED TO MAKE ME BELIEVE IT WAS AFFORDABLE . WHEN IN REALITY THE INSTITUTE TUTE WAS NOT SHORTED A DIME THEY GOT IT ALL BACK ALL THOSE DISCOUNTS WERE RECOVERED ON THE BACK SIDE. THE SUPPLEMENTS STOPPED COMING AND THE MEDICAL INSURANCE WE ARE PAYING FOR WELL THAT DOSENT PAY FOR ANYTHING, WE WERE LEFT ON THE TRAIN TRACKS AND THE DRIVER RAN OFF . AND I STILL HAVE THE COST OF MY WIFES MEDICAL PROBLEMS OF GERD .

I was desperate when I started the program and did not really take into consideration all of the drastic changes that needed to be made... I think maybe a better overview of the program and what would be required would have helped make a better decision. the support was great, but I was just unable to get the results I even hoped for. I was not strong enough to follow through... the expense of the program led me to believe I would be able to make drastic changes, but I am unfortunately not that strong. my advice to anyone considering the program, please ask a lot of questions, and don't jump in with both feet until you know the full picture.

I personally didn’t find it helpful for the $8000 paid since I was already a healthy consumer, doing my shakes, greens and organic fruits. There was no personal attention to the individual medical issues. It was about eating healthy and a number of supplements at each phase. Monthly you had a 1:1 with coach, all nice folks but again no attention to my specific issue. I even asked if anyone had the autoimmune disease to which I was v diagnosed and no response from NP. There was also a blood test at the beginning but no blood test at the end to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Yet they did a qualitative evaluation with questions both at the beginning and the end of program. A quantitative test (blood work) speaks far more to the client progress as opposed to a quantitative ( subjective questions) at beginning and end. I certainly would NOT recommend the program. For people looking for weight loss and have poor eating habits I can see how this helps but definitely not for $8000. There wasn’t even an opportunity to have at least one in one with Dr Axe, just group zoom calls with NP were answering most of the questions.

I had very high hopes for this, yet got let down. The first consultation I had wasn’t with a physician and they just wasted an hour of my time. Not many people have the time for multiple appointments. I would like a refund for this purchase as I wasted $27 and wasn’t going through with the $8,500 cellular detox program.

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.

First of all, I have had chronic health issues for years, with almost no help from the 8 medical specialists and multiple general practitioners. Been to many nutritionists, chiropractors, ECT, etc, with many diagnosis, like Lyme, etc, etc, etc. I have been watching Dr Axe for years and always felt that he wanted to help people actually get the help they need. Thinking outside the box, offering real solutions rather than just managing symptoms. I ordered a $127 blood test discounted to $97 through a Dr Axe Facebook ad promising true cellular health blood work analysis. I expected specialized tests, but most, if not all, were standard labs with some added ratios and lacking tests that my family doctor wanted to see. During intake, the reviewer seemed to misunderstand some results, which made me doubt the process. I was very fatigued at the time and the abnormal labs gave me hope that I'd found answers. I was told that it was customized with ongoing lab work and had a guarantee, so I enrolled. Later, I found the program leaned heavily on a long questionnaire rather than my lab results and the guarantee had requirements that I was unable to meet. Plus, the program didn't include any lab work. I also got conflicting information from different departments about what was included. Even after getting a partial refund, I am still left feeling like the process and expectations haven't been clearly laid out. I want to give a shout-out to my health coach, Josh, who did a phenomenal job and taught me some helpful tips for raising my blood pressure. I also want to point out that I feel The Health Institute does truly want to help, but the supplements are mostly the same for everyone, rather than very customized like expected. And, I feel the program is way over priced, even with all the info on the portal and the group calls. It seems to be a program for the masses with lots of general info to try to cover as much as possible. I'm sure it's helpful for people that need guidance to clean up their diet and switch to a highly nutritional diet. But I have been doing that for years. So, if you do sign up, be prepared to spend 2 or more hours per week studying their online material and or on group calls. And make sure you are able to cover the $8,500. I would not recommend to plan on the program improving your heath, allowing you to work more hours, which would in turn allow you to pay for it like I expected.

It all sounds very promising. On the $27 call I heard repeatedly “when you” not if you. There was a 100% guarantee that I signed. I paid over $7K and saw NO IMPROVEMENTS. I went back and forth with them and they didn’t back up their guarantee because I was in no way satisfied. They shipped me a book and offered additional supplements- why would I want more supplements when the others didn’t help. I’m sure it’s helped some people but I was left distraught and in major debt with nothing to show for it.
