Our mission

Health Guide exists to make evidence-based health tools accessible to everyone — for free, with no account required, and with complete respect for your privacy. Every number our calculators produce comes from the same population-based equations used in clinical research and public health guidelines.

How it works

🔬

Science-backed formulas

Our 11 calculators use established equations — Mifflin-St Jeor for BMR/TDEE, the U.S. Navy method for body fat, Devine and Robinson formulas for ideal weight, and Karvonen for heart rate zones. These are the same reference formulas used in dietitian offices and sports medicine clinics.

🔒

Private by design

Any health data you enter — age, weight, height, activity level — stays in your browser's localStorage. It is never sent to our servers, never stored in a database, and never shared with third parties. You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser data.

🎯

Priority-driven Health Planner

Our Health Planner is not a generic checklist. It runs all 11 calculators silently against your profile, assigns each result an urgency score from 0–100, and surfaces the top action in each health pillar — Move, Eat, and Live. You see only the three things that matter most for you today.
