‘I’m a neurosurgeon – this is what I eat for a brain-healthy breakfast’

Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day for a few reasons – and feeding your brain is one of them.

In a video posted to X on Sunday, Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier asked her neurosurgeon husband, Dr. Paul Saphier, M.D., what he was having for breakfast.

Saphier, founder of Coaxial Neurosurgical Specialists in New Jersey, responded that he was having a “heart- and brain-healthy breakfast.”

This included a variety of ingredients that could make up a yogurt parfait.

The meal started out with some 0% fat Greek yogurt, which provides “great lean proteins,” as well as probiotic health benefits, the doctor said.

Saphier added some high-antioxidant blueberries – great for both cardiovascular health and brain health – as well as some honey.

“Immunologically, [honey] is good for you,” he said. “A lot of antioxidants there as well. Helps decrease a lot of other issues related to the brain.”

The neurosurgeon also included granola in his breakfast, which mixed in chia seeds, flax seeds and nuts for “lean, healthy oils” like omega-3 fatty acids.

“A lot of Mediterranean diet-type nuts in there,” he said, tapping the granola bag.

Saphier topped off the meal with an immune-boosting supplement to help ward off sickness in the cold and flu months.

The doctor ended the video by encouraging others to “try to eat healthy, stay healthy and ring in 2025 with a great start.”
