Nature Junkie is a community hub for rethinking and rewiring our relationships with nature. We want to help replenish your stoke by making small but kickass doses of nature ridiculously accessible. Like Brian Fantana said, “60% of the time, it works every time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/1630619979972-68YB6D774IIYVL1OXSKG/headupass.jpeg Home - The Problem The System. Our modern world is pretty rad, except when it’s not. The System is all the forces in culture and technology that pull us severely out of balance with nature. This imbalance results in what we call The Great Disconnect, and when it goes unchecked, it destroys our humanity and trashes our planet. Yay humans! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/1631381630504-VUI1GNHF1JNBJAXOIW5E/Waterdropsonleaf.jpg Home - The Solution Microdosing nature is the antidote. We believe that small, consistent ways of noticing nature - microdosing nature - can help us reclaim a primal superpower. When we rewire our habits to remain deeply connected with nature, it’s like having a forcefield for The System. Who would say no to superpowers and forcefields? Microdosing nature also makes it more accessible to anyone, anytime, anywhere without any fancy equipment. That’s you. That’s now. Let’s go. https://www.naturejunkielife.com/about daily 0.75 2024-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/07b42294-edd6-423e-8082-1842eed0b3ce/FeetinWater.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder - Our Vision Nature connection is actively applied as a fundamental pillar of wellbeing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/d4191e65-0478-4ea3-a868-59ecce392ec7/About_purpose2.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder - Our Purpose We exist to catalyze the renaturing of humankind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/fea84603-f9ce-4906-a82d-acadd4c9750f/About_mission1.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder - Our Mission To bring awareness to systems thinking, inspire and equip people to activate their nature connection, share the science, wisdom, and radness of Nature Junkies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/1632007759703-TZW2FYHPLJA76IOFS7NP/JJshakatube.jpg About the Nature Junkie Vision, Mission, Purpose, Beliefs & Founder - “The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” -Jaques Cousteau Yep, I got hooked. I fell in love with surfing at an early age and have been a Nature Junkie ever since. Unfortunately, I’ve also noticed that as culture and technology move forward, it’s getting harder and harder to maintain healthy relationships with nature. I’m not anti-tech, in fact I love all that shit. And I also don’t think we need to go back to living in caves, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Instead, my aim here is to help us rebuild healthy relationships with nature, even within a hypermodern world. Call me crazy, but I think it’s doable. Nature Junkie is my attempt to help people rekindle that feeling of awe and wonder that I discovered surfing as a kid. Thanks for playing along and unleashing your inner Nature Junkie with us.

How Nature Connection Helps Us Thrive - The Basics of Life It’s obvious we can’t make it too far in life without food, water, and air. These essential ingredients flow from nature and are kind of a big deal around here. What about when we look beyond survival? Can nature connection actually help us thrive? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/73df5ef2-1226-4e48-b307-ca1bd41fafed/Benefits_mind1.jpg Benefits of Nature Connection - How Nature Connection Helps Us Thrive - Mind Stress - Spending time in nature, even just short walks amongst the trees, have consistently been found to improve several markers of stress, anxiety, and fatigue, while increasing positive emotions and mood compared to spending time in less natural environments (Lee et al., 2011; Mayer et al., 2009). Anxiety & Depression - Having more greenspace nearby (e.g. trees, parks, etc.) is associated with less anxiety and depression. (Beyer et al., 2014; Nutsford et al., 2013; Stigsdotter et al., 2010). Cognitive Performance - A number of studies have found that exposure to nature, through things as simple as a walk outside or having plants on your desk, is connected with improved cognitive performance for memory, attention, test scores, and even graduation rates (Berman et al., 2008; Taylor & Kuo 2009; Matsuoka 2010; Raanaas et al., 2011). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/99af4a9c-f80e-4275-9db0-f688f308d109/Benefits_body1.jpg Benefits of Nature Connection - How Nature Connection Helps Us Thrive - Body Physical Activity - Because nature connection often involves physical activity outdoors, it has indirect benefits on our physical health. Because of the health importance of physical activity, this may have knock-on positive effects to help prevent common chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Studies have shown that people who exercise outdoors (i.e. in nature) do so longer than if they were indoors, and that people who use parks and open spaces are three times more likely to meet the recommended levels of physical activity. (Giles-Corti et al., 2005; Kerr et al., 2012). Immunity - Research in Japanese men found that walking for a couple hours in a forest significantly increased immunity (by increasing natural killer cell count and activity) compared to walking in a largely commercial city setting. Importantly, they found that the increased immune effect lasted one week, and even one month after the initial walk (Li et al., 2008). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/18fef6fc-a1fe-4c4e-b853-8d9c1901f6fb/Shaka.jpg Benefits of Nature Connection - How Nature Connection Helps Us Thrive - Soul Community - People with more greenspace in their local environment feel less lonely and experience less shortage of social support (Maas et al., 2009). Some research has also found that areas with more greenspace have less crime (Kuo & Sullivan, 2001). From the studies, it appears that this relationship may be indirect. For example, greenspace may entice people to get outside, and as a result they end up chatting with friends and neighbors, which helps create a sense of community, while also keeping a watchful eye on the place. Happiness - Strong nature relatedness, which is a rating scale used by researchers to determine how connected we are to nature, has proven to be a strong predictor of many indicators of Happiness. In other words, the more exposure to nature we have, the more likely we are to be happy (Zelinski & Nisbet et al., 2014). Kinship - The emotional bond between people and animals has been shown to enhance wellbeing both physiologically and psychologically (Beck & Meyers, 1996). Beyond animal companionship, social ecologist Stephen Kellert (1997) reminds us that deep emotional connection can be derived from many aspects of nature in our landscapes, whether it’s “A potted plant, a garden shrub, a backyard tree, a nearby river, a local forest…” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/051ce3c3-fd24-429a-b967-1f6887bac546/Benefits_planet1.jpg Benefits of Nature Connection - How Nature Connection Helps Us Thrive - Planet Sustainability - Increased nature relatedness has been found to be a powerful predictor of environmental concerns and more sustainable behaviors (Nisbet et al., 2009). Temperature Control - Cities tend to be warmer than surrounding greenspaces, which creates what is called the heat island effect. Parks generally provide a cooling effect not only locally in the park, but also to surrounding built environments (Nowak & Heisler, 2010). This may help provide a buffer during life-threatening heat waves as well as offsetting the need for energy to run cooling systems in nearby buildings. Air Quality - Trees help remove air pollution by providing a resting place for particles on their leaves and also by absorbing gaseous pollution through their leaves. Researchers calculated that in one year, trees removed 17.4 million tons of air pollution across the U.S., which prevented 850 human deaths and 670,000 cases of acute respiratory symptoms. (Nowak et al., 2014). https://www.naturejunkielife.com/dosage daily 0.75 2022-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/7722a75f-9b8c-4aaa-b597-79693ce3e06c/Waterdropsonleaf.jpg Learn How Much Nature Connection You Need to Thrive - Microdosing Nature is the Way to Go. We’re fans of microdosing nature for three main reasons. 1) It’s Powerful Biologically. Even small amounts of nature exposure done consistently can help regulate our physiology (such as morning and evening sunlight exposure optimizing our circadian rhythms), reduce stress and improve focus. 2) It Helps Make Habit Change Easy. Let’s face it, we humans need to work on creating healthier relationships with our nature. In many behavior change models, one of the most powerful things we can do is to make our desired new behavior as small as possible. In short, a microdosing new habits. The reason this technique works is because it makes behavior change ridiculously easy. 3) It’s Accessible. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same level of access to nature and that sucks. Microdosing nature ensures that anyone can spend time in nature, practically anywhere at anytime without the need for huge amounts of time, money, or fancy gear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/724b4fce-852d-434a-9fc8-4e72f2e1b257/Macrodose1.jpg Learn How Much Nature Connection You Need to Thrive - Macrodosing Nature is the Way to Go. We’re fans of macrodosing nature for two main reasons. 1) It’s Works. One key piece of research shows that getting 120 minutes per week is beneficial. Another large study in Finland showed that getting a minimum of 5 hours per month is beneficial (and that more was indeed better in this case). 2) It Feels Awesome. For some reason, really getting away into wild places away from screens for longer periods of time just feels amazing. I’ve heard there’s an aboriginal concept that modern society is three days deep, meaning that it takes three days to shed the stress of what we at Nature Junkie like to call “Modern F*ckery.” That said, we realize that not everyone has the same level of access to wild open spaces for a host of reasons, which is why we highly recommend microdosing nature. https://www.naturejunkielife.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-03-05 https://www.naturejunkielife.com/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2022-03-05 https://www.naturejunkielife.com/newslettersignup daily 0.75 2025-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612c0aed484f3975dcb98d3b/12e16f43-3949-45f7-8aad-97e3422ba114/220810_jeffjohnson101_000083.jpg Newsletter Sign Up - Nature to Your Inbox Regenerate your stoke with the wisdom, wonder, and ways of nature connection.
