This Is Hurting Your Brain - Dr. Rick Komotar on Nutrition, Training, and Recovery

What does it take to perform 4 to 6 brain surgeries a day? In this episode of Stronger, Don Saladino welcomes Dr. Ricardo Komotar, a world-renowned neurosurgeon based in Miami. Dr. Komotar breaks down the "grit and resilience" required for his profession and why he believes physical fitness is a non-negotiable requirement for cognitive excellence.

The conversation explores brain health, the biggest mistakes people make with their cognitive habits, and the fascinating process of "awake" brain surgery. Dr. Komotar also shares his intense daily routine, including twice-a-day workouts, and explains why he advocates for mandatory nutrition education in schools. Whether you are interested in medical breakthroughs or optimizing your own daily performance, this episode is a masterclass in discipline and service.
