Our 2025 favorites: Often undervalued, student journalists play a vital role in our communities
The Disrupted team is welcoming the new year by choosing a couple of the episodes we loved from 2025. We have so many favorites that we couldn't reair all of them, but these are some of the ones that we wanted to listen back to. This week, producer Kevin Chang Barnum chose our episode on student journalism. Student journalists have been in the spotlight in recent years. In 2024, amidst massive on-campus protests, people turned to student outlets like Columbia University’s WKCR for the most up to date reporting. But practicing journalism as a student comes with risks....

Student journalists have been in the spotlight in recent years. In 2024, amidst massive on-campus protests, people turned to student outlets like Columbia University’s WKCR for the most up to date reporting. But practicing journalism as a student comes with risks. Those risks have become even more clear in recent weeks. Tufts University graduate student Rümeysa Öztürk was detained in March after the Trump administration revoked her visa.

Today we are talking about Sodium Chloride (Nat Mur), which is tissue salt # 8. To learn about the first 7 tissue salts and why tissue salts are an incredible support to our bodies, head back to episode number 8 where we began this fascinating series. I particularly enjoy talking about the Naturium (latin for ‘sodium’) series of tissue salts because most people are not aware that we have three forms of sodium. Sodium regulates the fluid in the body. We are around 80% fluid and this fluid needs to be in perfect balance in both the intracellular and ex...

To learn about the first 5 tissue salts and why tissue salts are an incredible support to our bodies, head back to episode number 8 where we began this fascinating series.

Potassium Chloride: Tissue Salt #4
This week we are talking about tissue salt #4, Kali Mur, also known as Potassium Chloride. If you haven’t listened to our other episodes in this series then we highly recommend going back to the episode called ‘Mineral Therapy’ and beginning there. Potassium Chloride is responsible for the second stage of inflammation. This stage occurs if the body cannot calm down the original presentation of inflammation. As we discussed last week this shows up in our bodies as redness, swelling and heat. In the second stage of inflammation the body also begins to produce mucous. For ex...

Ferrum Phos: Scheusslers Tissue Salt #3
Today we are continuing to develop the topic of Mineral Therapy and we are talking about Scheussler’s Tissue Salt #3 - Iron Phosphate. Before we delve into Iron Phosphate (Ferrum Phos) however, it is good to have an understanding of the first stage of inflammation.

Scheussler's Tissue Salts Mineral Therapy
Mineral therapy is looking at the equilibrium of minerals in the body to obtain bioregulation. We look at what is missing in the body so we can supplement it and bring the body back into balance. In many ways, minerals can be seen as the missing link when healing from chronic conditions. What does mineral therapy mean? Let’s start with what Mineral Therapy is not. It is not going to the chemist to get a multi-mineral in a capsule. It is more complex than this and is based on the twelve basic salt...

dehydration: Why is water so special?
We all know we need water to survive, but have you ever considered why it is so special? Now that Summer is here in the southern hemisphere, it is getting a lot warmer and temperatures like 40℃ are not unusual. With warm weather, we head outside for festivities and fun and thus this is the time of year we start seeing dehydration as a common problem. There is a misconception that drinking fluids is equal to drinking water. In the clinic, we can see in blood analysis whether someone is dehydrated or not because we c...

How to detox your body
Firstly, let's begin with the difference between detoxing and fasting because contrary to popular belief they are different. Fasting means we are abstaining from eating and drinking all together for a set period of time. A water fast is the most common type of fast, where only filtered water is consumed. While fasting will lead to a detoxification of body systems it is not necessary to fast in order to detox To detox means to cleanse something. To do this we need to stop bringing in rubbish (ie toxins) into the body. I...

A saliva test is a sampling of saliva that will give a breakdown of 7 different hormones that we can look at as a benchmark for where you are at. In females we test Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), morning cortisol, progesterone, testosteron, estrogen1 (E1), estrogen 2 (E2) and estrogen 3 (E3), ratios between E1, E2 and E3 and ratios between estrogen and progesterone.

Goal Setting in Relation to the Human Body
If the body and mindset are not aligned with your goals then you are going to have trouble reaching your goals. How does this work? To start with, let’s look at the hormonal system. Our hormones can control our mood. They are proteins and they connect different parts of our body, acting like a messenger. For example, some hormones control sugars, some help us to grow and some are the commonly known sex hormones which regulate our libido amongst other things. There are lots of different types of hormones and each of ou...

Goal Setting with Marilyn Garbin
Today I have Marilyn Garbin with me to talk about goals. Marilyn’s background is in education and career development and she enjoys helping people set and achieve their goals. With the end of the year creeping up we thought it was a good time to speak about setting goals because most people set them, but very few achieve them. For goals to become a reality, decisions need to be made but a lot of the time people don't even know what they want. There are 3 different types of goals...

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
Is Sacha Baron Cohen’s secretly filmed satire sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the final blow to an (hopefully) outgoing president or a pointed exploration of American society? We also discuss the legitimacy of that outrageous Rudy Giuliani scene, the film’s unexpected feminist values, and the performances of its leads: newcomer Maria Bakalova, and Cohen. Later, we talk about another Netflix India dud, the Shabana Azmi-starrer horror Kaali Khuhi, and Spike Lee’s inventive new film, David Byrne’s American Utopia. — Hosted by Akhil Arora and Rohan Naahar, The Long Take is fully b...
