This tool gives general information based on the research summarised in How Much Nature Is Enough: The Dose Evidence. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose, and does not replace advice from your clinician.

Free vs Plus

Free (this page)

  • full visit plan with phone rule
  • weekly total
  • text export and print
  • all citations and cautions

Plus (optional, one-time)

  • calendar (.ics) visit reminders
  • unlimited share images

Checkout isn't live yet, so Plus is unlocked here with a local code. The check runs in your browser and can be bypassed; it is a placeholder for a real payment link.

Free tier: 1 share image per result.

Commercial disclosure: optional paid Plus tier; all evidence, cautions and the main result are free. No affiliate links, no sponsors.
