Longtime NY Times health columnist reflects on career

Jane Brody literally wrote the book, and the newspaper column, on personal health. Brody has written on medicine and health for the New York Times for more than 50 years,  and is the author of more than a dozen books on topics like nutrition and cooking. This week on WRVO's health and wellness show Take Care, hosts Lorraine Rapp and Linda Lowen speak with Brody, who shares her experiences as a trailblazing health journalist.

More of this interview can be heard on "Take Care," WRVO's health and wellness show Saturday at 6:30 a.m. and Sunday at 6:30 p.m.  Support for this story comes from the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York.
