What Neuroseurgon Dr. Randy DAmico eats in a day

Dr. D'Amico's approach to eating is both scientific and practical:

Morning Foundation:

• Avocado toast on seedy, low-glycemic bread

• Hot sauce for flavor and metabolism benefits

Mid-Morning Fuel:

• Two Greek yogurts with chia seeds and hemp seeds

• Focus on protein with minimal carbs

Afternoon Strategy:

• Peanut butter on quality toast for sustained energy

• Green tea instead of excessive coffee

Evening Approach:

• Low-glycemic pasta (when possible)

• Abundant vegetables, especially leafy greens

• Natural, whole foods prioritized over processed options

The Science Behind His Choices

"I became obsessed with a glucometer for a period of time. I was just watching my glucose trends and trying to flatten the curve," he explains. This data-driven approach to nutrition focuses on:

• Maintaining stable blood sugar levels

• Supporting sustained energy throughout long surgeries

• Optimizing heart rate variability for better stress management

Supplements That Actually Matter

In a world flooded with supplement marketing, Dr. D'Amico keeps it simple:

Creatine: "There's enough scientific backing on it. There's the brain health component and the muscle recovery component."

Magnesium: For improved sleep quality (after discovering melatonin caused grogginess and strange dreams)

That's It: "Supplements are tricky because they're not FDA regulated. You have to be really careful."
