Research Library
A curated home for Good Health Geek research, white papers, and science-based frameworks exploring the biological factors behind workforce performance.
This library brings together active studies, published work, and educational resources connected to energy, focus, mood, fatigue, resilience, and day-to-day workplace consistency.
Biology-informed insight for modern workplaces
- Workforce energy, fatigue, and consistency
- Nutrition, mood, focus, and daily function
- Employee experience and wellness participation
- Practical frameworks for performance support
Research, analysis, and science communication supporting the Good Health Geek workforce performance mission.
Research that connects biology with workplace reality
Good Health Geek research is designed to translate complex biological science into practical language employers, partners, and employees can understand.
Why this library exists
Workplace performance is often discussed through engagement, behavior, and motivation. Our work looks deeper at the biological factors that may influence energy, focus, resilience, stress response, and consistency.
What you’ll find here
- Active surveys and workplace studies
- Published and forthcoming white papers
- Science-based frameworks connected to GHG education
- Practical research written for real-world use
Active research currently underway
These studies gather insight from employers, HR leaders, and employees about wellness, performance, fatigue, focus, and workplace support.
HR Research
Perspectives from HR and workplace decision-makers.
This study explores how employers currently address employee wellness, performance, attendance, fatigue, and practical workplace support.
- Current wellness strategies and perceived gaps
- Interest in energy, focus, and wellbeing support
- Input from HR leaders and decision-makers
Workforce Wellness Survey
Employee perspectives on energy, mood, focus, and wellness efforts.
This survey gathers insight into how employees experience day-to-day wellbeing, participation, and the usefulness of current workplace wellness efforts.
- Employee-side view of workplace wellness
- Participation and perceived effectiveness
- Real-world experience of energy, stress, and focus
Published and forthcoming research papers
Papers connected to the Good Health Geek research initiative and the biological foundations of energy, focus, mood, and workforce performance.
Food, Brain, and Performance: The Science Behind Food for Mood
A white paper examining how food choices may influence brain function, energy, focus, and emotional steadiness through biological pathways tied to nutrition and signaling.
- Links food choices with mood, focus, and daily function
- Supports the scientific basis of the Food for Mood model
Rethinking Workplace Performance: The Biological Foundations of Focus, Fatigue, and Resilience
A preprint exploring how biological inputs may shape clarity, resilience, fatigue, workday performance, and safety-related functioning.
- Frames workplace performance through a physiological lens
- Available on ResearchGate
Educational science behind the work
Core foundation pages that translate biological science into practical understanding.
The Science of Food for Mood
Explore the biological logic behind how food may affect calm, clarity, drive, steadiness, and recovery through signaling pathways, nutrient intake, and food structure.
- Supports the educational side of Good Health Geek
- Translates science into practical, visual understanding
Looking deeper than surface-level wellness
The future of workforce wellbeing requires a better understanding of the human factors behind performance.
Beyond generic wellness
Much of workplace wellness still focuses on broad engagement. This research looks at the biological inputs that may influence mood, focus, energy, fatigue, and consistency.
Clear translation
The goal is to make complex science easier to understand without reducing it to vague wellness language.
Applied thinking
These studies and papers help support Good Health Geek programs, educational tools, and future workplace initiatives.
