From Science to Systems: Lessons from 70 Years of Physical Activity Promotion
In this episode of the #NESIPodcast, Steve speaks with Dr. Tepi McLaughlin, a researcher and policy leader whose work explores the intersection of physical activity, systems thinking, and political economy. Together, they unpack the evolution of the field, the importance of politically informed approaches, and the role of advocacy in navigating commercial and structural determinants of health.
The link to Tepi's paper is here: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11747872/
Progress, Tepi argues, will come from testing what truly works in real-world settings, guided by politically aware, cross-sector collaboration. At the same time, we need to stay alert to the commercial forces shaping those systems and ensure their impact is addressed through strong advocacy and smart policy.
