Dr Josh Axe

From Our Founder

Years ago, I helped my mom recover from life-threatening disease using ancient health principles and natural healing methods found in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since then, I have personally SEEN how these methods transformed not only my mom’s life, but the lives of thousands of people who apply these principles and techniques.

That’s why I am SO passionate about The Health Institute.

If you have a passion for health and for changing the world, and want to create a profitable business that gives you a flexible lifestyle, The Health Institute is for you.
