Give everyone the tools to understand and influence their healthcare decisions with confidence
The third leading cause of death is
not a disease
Few people understand these
risks and even fewer know how
to avoid them.
This is why NIWH offers our Whole Health Education® programs to demystify the How, Why & What of health conditions, so you can take greater control of your health and have better outcomes.
Our programs are for professional
credentialing as well as for anyone
seeking the knowledge & resources
to take care of their health and live
their healthiest, best life.
Celebrating 50 Years of Whole Health
The National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH) is delighted to announce that October, 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the development and hospital research on its model of Whole Health and nationally accredited Whole Health Education curriculums available for licensed healthcare professionals.
As a way of enabling the NIWH goals and focus of empowering all consumers and the professionals of the American health care system, NIWH is now offering at no cost its Whole Health evidence-based courses, programs, webinars and classes designed to provide guidance and knowledge on how consumers can insure they receive the safest, most current medical care.
It is clearly well documented that the U.S. healthcare system is in disarray. The third leading cause of death in the United States, in 2025, was not a disease, chronic health condition or from gun violence. Rather, medical errors account for the third preventable leading causes of death in the United States, only after heart disease and cancer.
NIWH believes it is urgent that Americans are offered, free and demystified educational opportunities - without commercial influence or politics - to empower themselves to live their best and longest life. Click here for more information about the NIWH offerings.

Your Whole Health Has Never Been More Critical
With the healthcare industry in crisis, rates of cancer in 20-39 year olds on the rise, and life-expectancy rates in the U.S. falling far below peer countries, NIWH remains steadfast in our mission to empower individuals with authentic Whole Health tools to take charge of their own health and well-being.
The term ‘Whole Health’ has become overused and misused by many. While others have hijacked the title, none capture the depth and transformative power of the original Whole Health model, which is not designed to be integrative medicine.
At NIWH, our evidence-based programs are designed to equip you with the knowledge, confidence, and skills you need to achieve lifelong, whole-person health. Start your journey toward true Whole Health today!
