HUMAN CAPACITY LAB
Your Brain is Human Infrastructure.
How you think. How you decide. How you work, create, connect, adapt, and perform.
Your brain doesn’t just influence how you feel. It determines how much capacity you have available to meet the demands of your life.
And performance tells us only part of the story.
The better question is what it costs you to perform—and what you have left afterward.
Capacity → Performance → Reserve

Capacity → Performance → Reserve
built around your life, your humanity.
Your capacity has it own story.
What you can ask of your brain today reflects biology, health, history, environment, experience, and the demands placed on it over time.
We look at what may be shaping your capacity now, how that shows up in your performance, and what it costs you to sustain it.
HOW IT WORKS
Understand the infrastructure behind your capacity
We bring together your history, current health, medication experience, nutrition, labs, sleep, and everyday patterns to examine what may be influencing how you think, feel, and function.
01
UNDERSTAND THE INFRASTRUCTURE
Start with the biology and history behind your capacity—health, medications, labs, nutrition, sleep, and other factors that may be shaping what you have available.
02
UNDERSTAND YOUR PERFORMANCE
Look at how that capacity shows up in real life.
How clearly can you think? How well can you focus, decide, adapt, work, and perform when demands increase?
And importantly: What does that performance cost you?
03
PROTECT YOUR RESERVE
The goal isn’t simply to perform today.
It’s to understand what supports sustainable performance, what depletes your capacity, and what you have left after the demand.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Human Capacity & Brain health is bigger than mental health.
The ability to think, learn, decide, work, create, connect, adapt, and perform has value far beyond a medical chart.
This is the idea behind the brain economy: our individual and collective ability to perform, contribute, innovate, and participate depends on human capacity.
But the brain economy begins with people.
And performance alone isn’t enough. We also need to understand what that performance costs—and whether it can be sustained.
WORK DIRECTLY WITH DR. TERALYN
Turn what we learn into a plan for your capacity & performance.
The goal isn’t to optimize every variable. It’s to identify what matters, what may be limiting what you have available, and what could improve how you think, decide, work, adapt, recover, and perform over time.
Together we will...
✓ Identify what affects your capacity
✓ See where performance costs too much
✓ Decide what matters most
✓ Use labs and data when useful
✓ Protect performance and reserve
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions before we get started?
Can I use insurance
No. Insurance plans do not recognize this type of brain health consultation as a covered service, so it cannot be billed to insurance.
Can I use my HSA?
HSA cards are accepted as payment. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on your individual plan, so you’ll need to confirm coverage with your HSA administrator.
Is this mental health therapy?
No. This is not therapy or counseling. Rather than providing ongoing emotional or psychological treatment, we focus specifically on your brain health—what may be influencing it, what deserves attention, and what you can do next.
Are you a medical doctor?
No. I have a PhD in Psychology, not an MD. My work focuses on helping you understand the factors influencing your brain health and turn that information into practical action.
How do I get labs?
I can facilitate access to lab testing through my direct-to-consumer lab partners, but I do not order labs. We’ll discuss which tests may be useful, and you decide what you want to pursue.
WORK DIRECTLY WITH DR. TERALYN
Questions that don't fit neatly into one box.
I bring 25 years of experience to the complicated stuff so you don’t have to become an expert in it. We figure out what matters, simplify what we can, and build something you can actually do.
I take the work seriously, but I’m pretty informal about how we get there. Expect real conversations, straightforward answers, probably some swearing—and there’s a good chance you’ll meet Linus.
WHAT THAT MEANS FOR YOU
✓ Complex information made understandable
✓ Clear priorities without information overload
✓ Your biology, history, and circumstances considered together
✓ Long-term capacity kept in view
✓ A plan that can evolve as you learn more
✓ And yes, you’ll probably meet Linus. He has very strong opinions about brain health.

Can You Catch Up on Sleep?
Sleeping longer on the weekend can feel like a reset. But does it restore the attention, judgment, and steady performance that a short week of sleep may quietly erode?

What a Medication Review Should Reconstruct
A refill confirms that a prescription continued. It does not explain why it still belongs in the plan. A useful medication review reconstructs the decision before making a new one.
