Research Division
Conducts original studies, publishes in peer-reviewed journals, partners with universities for institutional review board (IRB) oversight, and maintains a public registry of its methods.
Transparency
That sentence has described IHE since the beginning. This page shows what it means in practice: how the institute is structured, who oversees it, the rules its funding follows, and the documents that exist today, with dates for the ones that don't yet.
Structure
IHE operates through three divisions, each with a distinct mandate.
Conducts original studies, publishes in peer-reviewed journals, partners with universities for institutional review board (IRB) oversight, and maintains a public registry of its methods.
Turns research findings into structured courses and practices. Programs charge on a sliding scale based on income, with scholarships available. Any surplus funds further research.
Produces books, open courses, and plain-language educational content.
Independent governance
Two independent bodies sit above the founder and the team. Both are being convened now, and we announce that vacancy as what it is rather than dress it up.
Whether serving as Director or Executive Chair, the founder cannot override the Scientific Advisory Board or the Independent Ethics Committee within their domains, must disclose any financial interest in related entities, and is subject to the same rules as the rest of the team.
Any commercial product connected to the founder is owned and operated by separate for-profit entities. If IHE licenses research to one of them, the terms are arm's length, disclosed publicly, and reviewed by an independent board member. The IHE name never appears in consumer marketing.
The bylaws protect the editorial independence of the Research and Public Education Divisions. What the evidence says is not up for negotiation, not by a donor and not by the founder.
Funding rules
IHE is funded by individual donations, philanthropic grants, program tuition, and research licensing. Three rules apply to all of it:
Every funding source above $5,000 is published annually.
No single donor may provide more than 25% of the operating budget. Diversification is a rule here, not a preference.
The Ethics Committee can decline any funding that would compromise the institute's independence.
Money is only half of independence. The other half is what happens when interests collide, and two rules cover it:
Documents
IHE was founded in 2026, so its paper trail is short. We would rather show you the publishing schedule than hide the gap.
