Are the protocols free?
Yes. Every protocol is free with a Dr. Axe account, and the guides are open to everyone. Your account keeps your protocols, quiz results and Dr. Axe AI conversations together.
Which protocol should I start with?
Most readers start with the Gut Healing Protocol, because so many chronic symptoms trace back to the gut. If you’re not sure, take the 2-minute quiz or describe what you’re feeling to Dr. Axe AI and it will point you to the right plan.
How long does a protocol take?
Most run 30, 60 or 90 days. Each one is laid out week by week, with the labs to recheck at the end so you can see what changed.
Can I follow more than one protocol at a time?
Start with one. Many share the same foundation (gut, blood sugar and sleep), so finishing one usually makes the next one easier. If two seem to fit, ask Dr. Axe AI which to do first.
Do I need lab work?
No, but it helps. Every protocol lists the labs worth checking before you start and when to retest, so you can see whether the plan is working.
Who reviews the protocols?
Dr. Axe writes them from twenty years of clinical work, and the medical advisory board reviews them against current clinical evidence.
Do the protocols replace my doctor’s care?
No. They’re educational plans to use alongside the care you already have. Talk with your physician before starting a new supplement or protocol, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or are being treated for cancer.
