Research Library
A curated home for Good Health Geek studies, white papers, and scientific frameworks exploring workplace wellbeing, food, mood, energy, and performance.
This library brings together our active research, published work, and foundational educational resources in one place for employers, collaborators, and readers interested in the science behind the work.
Current Areas of Focus
- Workplace wellness perceptions and participation
- Employee energy, mood, and focus in real-world settings
- Biology-informed approaches to workplace wellbeing
- Food, brain signaling, and day-to-day performance
Research with practical purpose
A growing body of work designed to connect biological science with everyday workplace reality
Why this library exists
At Good Health Geek, research is not separate from practice. It helps inform how we think about energy, focus, resilience, mood, safety, and the daily human side of workplace functioning.
This page brings together studies, papers, and foundational resources that support the broader ideas behind the work.
What you’ll find here
- Active surveys and workplace studies
- Published and forthcoming white papers
- Scientific framework pages connected to GHG education
- Research that translates complex ideas into practical language

Core educational pages that support the broader science behind the work
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
Why This Research Matters
Looking deeper than surface-level wellness
Beyond generic wellness
Much of workplace wellness still focuses on broad engagement. This research looks deeper at the biological factors that may influence mood, focus, energy, and day-to-day performance.
Clear translation
The goal is to make complex science easier to understand without flattening it into something vague or generic.
Applied thinking
These studies and papers help support the ideas behind Good Health Geek programs, educational tools, and future workplace initiatives.
