The 3rd 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.
​
At NIWH, our programs are for professional credentialing as well as knowledge and resources for anyone to take charge of their health, empowering them to make informed decisions and live their healthiest life!
At NIWH, Our Mission is Simple...
Give every person the tools to understand, navigate, and influence healthcare decisions with confidence.
The National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH) is the founding researcher and pioneer of the Whole Health and Whole Person Care movements in the United States. Since its inception in 1977, NIWH has championed a vision of U.S. healthcare that empowers individuals with clear, de-mystified health information, promoting self-care and the knowledge necessary for disease prevention.
At NIWH, we believe whole-person health should be within everyone’s reach. That’s why we developed Whole Health Education® —an approach that addresses health from a 5 Aspects of Whole Health® perspective, which integrates physical, emotional, nutritional, environmental, and spiritual aspects to foster personalized care and improved outcomes.
​
Our web-based programs for individuals, caregivers, and healthcare professionals deliver practical, evidence-based training. Whether you’re supporting others or focusing on your own well-being, NIWH’s Whole Health Education programs equip you with essential skills to achieve lasting, whole-person health.
"The healthcare system is in crisis right now. We have to shift the paradigm from illness to wellness. Only NIWH can help people learn to take control of their lives and have sustainable health..."

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.
