Nicotine Patch for ADHD/Focus
I have heard many sources speaking on the benefits of nicotine for focus. Usually this comes along with the statement that the delivery methods typically carry negative side effects. I currently use Adderall for my adult ADHD but on lower workload days, I supplement my usage with a 7mg/24hr nicotine patch and it works VERY well as an alternative. Why is the patch not brought up as a solid way to access the benefits of nicotine more often?

science of transgender identity
Would you consider doing an episode on the science of transgender identity and body dysphoria? Are there biological or genetic factors in trans identities? Setting aside social and political factors, what is happening in the brain with body dysphoria? Is it similar to body dysmorphia? For people who can't get gender-affirming care, are there protocols for relieving the distress of feeling mismatched with gendered aspects of your body (genitals, voice, chest)? Thank you for your podcast!
Can fasting override the habit of a binge/restricting cycle?
Do you recommend fasting when you struggle with the restricting/binging cycle? I am a 5'7 female, 125lbs, 19 years old (current student, stress triggers stress eating). Sick of thinking about food 24/7, and I have a hard time with consistent habits; I want to start fasting but without triggering that binge/restrict cycle: any recommendations?
