Myo inositol for sleep?

I just finished the podcast on supplementation and have never heard of myoinositol being used to improve sleep quality in those who wake but struggle to get back to sleep. I wanted to dig further into this but the only thing I am finding is studies done on pregnant women. I know it's used for women with PCOS and that have potentially high testosterone issues so my concern/question would be on using this to improve sleep quality for men that suffer with an inability to get back to sleep when other lifestyle factors are in place. Can you share any research? Where was this information from the podcast gathered from? I'd like to research it a bit more. Thanks!

Research On Long-Term ADHD Medication Use (Neurological risks other than addiction)

Do you know of any quality research linking any specific neurological issues to the long-term use of these stimulants? I would like to know for myself and a family member in their mid 60's that has recently been diagnosed and prescribed Adderall. I understand from your episodes on ADHD and dopamine, the risks of large peaks in dopamine and I remember hearing you mention separately that electrical signaling can cause neuron death if it is too intense. Medication has great benefits but I am worried about the long-term risks based on personal experience and what you've shared. Thank you for your invaluable time and insight.

Benefits of intermittent fasting

A new research, most recently a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association on Jan. 18, the time when you eat, in and of itself, doesn’t appear to be helpful for weight loss but I thought there were weight loss benefits. Can you comment on the recent study or did I misunderstand time restricted feeing benefits?

Effects of sustained, traumatic stress on the developing child

Would you consider doing a podcast about the long-term effects of sustained traumatic stress on the developing child? I see lots about single-event trauma and its effects, but very little understanding that a large number of people with PTSD are in fact dealing with a long history of trauma that does not just "go away" with a few sessions of therapy, etc. The health sequela that results from gestating in a violent, abusive environment followed by 18 to 20 years of growing up in the same are profound and largely unrecognized. All the information about how to stay fit and healthy begins to feel like an echo-chamber for the privileged. And that is only exacerbated by a healthcare system that has very little idea how to help someone living with the reality of a such a background. You are one of the few people who could do this justice, I think - and I listen to and read a great deal on this topic. Thank you for considering. Kathy in lovely, snowy, Vermont
