    Public Health is Political with Dr. Krystal Redman

    Public health is political—whether we admit it or not. The What's Really Going On?! crew caught up with Dr. Krystal Redman about her advocacy in the public health field. She breaks down what real public health advocacy looks like from intentional resource allocation to confronting biased systems, Dr. Redman explains why improving health outcomes requires naming inequity and refusing to pacify oppression for comfort. This episode explores how public health policy impacts marginalized communities, why access and accountability matter, and what it means to challenge systems that were never designed to protect everyone equally. Dr. Redman offers a clear-eyed look at how leadership, power, and policy intersect—and what it takes to actually create change. 📲 Follow us on Instagram / TikTok / Twitter: @WRGOPod 🎧 Catch all our episodes & content here: linktr.ee/wrgo
