Shaping the Future of Health and Research 

with Integrity and Connection

The Rodgers Institute was founded with a singular mission: to restore integrity, creativity, and heart to the world of research. We are a home for innovation and growth, dedicated to conducting independent research that is free from the limitations of traditional funding systems and driven by a commitment to help humanity.

Here, we nurture the next generation of conscientious researchers, mentor with heart-centered leadership, and empower scientific innovation that bridges traditional and non-traditional ideas to better understand health, wellbeing, and the world around us.

Welcome to The Rodgers Institute

Center for Research and Training

Research is for the people: Science should serve humanity, improving health and quality of life for all.

Integrity is non-negotiable: Every study we conduct is rooted in ethical rigor and transparency.

Connection leads to innovation: We encourage creativity, critical thinking, and ideas that challenge the status quo.

Empowering voices matters: Your stories and experiences have the power to shape meaningful change.

Our vision is to foster a world where research is driven by truth, values, and the collective good.

Our Mission and Vision

Current Research

Explore my peer-reviewed academic publications that contribute to advancing the understanding of health, longevity, and epidemiology:

Our first independent research study, The Health Experiences Study, is now live. This groundbreaking study aims to explore the lived experiences of individuals navigating the healthcare system and the impact of those experiences on health and wellbeing.
  • The purpose of this study is simple yet profound:
  • To understand the stories behind the statistics.
  • To illuminate the gaps in healthcare that affect lives in ways data alone cannot reveal.
  • To uncover the hidden factors influencing chronic health issues and offer solutions that prioritize connection, alignment, and empowerment.

This study is open to everyone, and your voice matters. If you’ve ever visited a doctor, faced a health challenge, or experienced the healthcare system in any way, your story can help shine a light on what truly needs to change.
