A field guide, not a clinic.

Optimized Brain is written by John Montavon — a systems engineer and dad — for people who want focus, friction reduction, and AI leverage without pretending they have a blank calendar. It is not medical advice, not therapy, and not a neurofeedback practice.

If you landed here looking for a clinic: optimizedbrain.co is a different organization and is unrelated to this site.

Nothing here diagnoses, treats, or replaces care from a licensed clinician. Medication decisions belong with your prescriber. Tools on this site are checklists and planning aids.
