Meet the Founder
Courteney Benjamin, PhD
I translate complex thermal physiology and wearable data into practical, individualized strategies that help athletes and organizations prepare, perform, and stay safe in any environment. Through evidence-based science and human-centered expertise, I turn complex information into clear, useful, and actionable guidance.
Heat Science & Wearable Technology
I’m an exercise and thermal physiologist with a PhD in Exercise Physiology and a career dedicated to helping people perform safely and confidently in challenging environments. I founded Saltwork Science to make high-level research and performance data more useful in the real world.
I believe the best science does more than generate data—it gives people clarity. My approach combines scientific rigor with individualized, human-centered guidance so every recommendation fits the person, environment, and performance goal behind the numbers.
Areas of Expertise
Thermal Physiology • Hydration & Sweat Testing • Wearable Technology • Heat Readiness • Performance analytics
Science should lead to better decisions.
Whether you’re preparing an athlete, supporting a team, or building a safer performance strategy, I can help turn complex data into a clear plan.
