The CALS alumna broke journalism taboos\u2014and taught generations of readers how to live better, healthier lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen my friend Michael and his brothers cleaned out their 92-year-old mother\u2019s house in Florida after she died, among the many multiples they found were eight identical jars of mustard, five dozen cans of pineapple chunks, 72 rolls of paper towels, 11 walkers, and four wheelchairs,\u201d Jane Brody \u201962<\/a> wrote in a recent New York Times<\/em> column about the physical and psychological hazards of household clutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she went on to observe, with (literally) mordant wit: \u201cI\u2019d like my family to have better things to fret or chuckle over when I die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The column was classic Brody\u2014combining a news hook (the pandemic-era craze for decluttering) with revelatory details, personal anecdotes, observations by experts, and concise advice for healthier living. Published in December 2021, it\u2019s just one of the more than 1,700 columns the CALS alumna produced over her decades-long tenure at the Times<\/em>, which ended with her retirement in late February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She covered a dizzying variety of topics. Just in her final months at the paper, Brody devoted her 1,100 weekly words to such subjects as accuracy in death certificates; early warning signs of pancreatic cancer; negative impacts of stress and of poor sleep; early-onset dementia; common medications that raise blood pressure; low HPV vaccination rates in teens; how to become more resilient during trying times; and advice for patients\u2019 families on navigating the ICU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get a kick out of talking to people in ways that, on a personal level, help them live a better life,\u201d says Brody, speaking with Cornellians<\/em> from her home in Brooklyn just days after the publication of her final column. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, she notes, \u201cmany, many people wrote in to say that what I wrote saved their lives. That was the most satisfying kind of feedback I could possibly get.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A biochemistry major on the Hill, Brody is in the middle generation of a Cornellian family: her father (Sidney Brody) was in the Class of 1931, and her twin grandsons, Stefan and Tomas Engquist, will graduate in May\u2014just two weeks before their grandmother\u2019s 60th Reunion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Brody caught the writing bug as an undergrad, becoming editor of CALS\u2019 Cornell<\/em> Countryman<\/em> magazine. She went on to earn a master\u2019s in science writing from the University of Wisconsin, then worked at the Minneapolis Tribune<\/em> before moving to the Times<\/em> in 1965. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She launched “Personal Health”\u2014which would go on to become the paper\u2019s longest-running column written by a single author\u2014in 1976. She has also penned numerous books on health and wellness (including volumes on allergies, battling cancer, cold and flu prevention, and end-of-life planning), as well as several cookbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Tara Parker-Pope, founding editor of the Times\u2019<\/em> \u201cWell\u201d section, wrote in a tribute upon Brody\u2019s retirement<\/a>: \u201cJane was among the first journalists to recognize that better health doesn\u2019t happen in the doctor\u2019s office\u2014it\u2019s rooted in the small decisions we make every day, like the foods we eat, the amount we sleep, and whether we wear a bicycle helmet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as Parker-Pope noted, Brody was a taboo-breaking trailblazer: not only a pioneering woman journalist, but the first writer to get the term \u201csexual intercourse\u201d on the newspaper\u2019s front page (in a story about cervical cancer). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

More than a half-century later, Brody still seems irked when she recalls how she wasn\u2019t allowed to report on Human Sexual Response\u2014<\/em>the landmark 1966 publication by researchers Masters and Johnson\u2014because she\u2019s a woman. Says Brody: \u201cThey gave the assignment to write about that seminal work to a culture<\/em> writer<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And don\u2019t get her started on the kerfuffle over her insistence on using specific terminology in her coverage, 10 years later, of The Hite Report: A Nationwide Study of Female Sexuality<\/em>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Brody was also ahead of her time in sharing details of her own life and experience, in an era when newspaper writers were expected to keep themselves out of the story. The approach\u2014humanizing health and wellness issues, while remaining firmly rooted in science and the latest research\u2014proved immensely popular.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In service of illuminating often-complex topics, Brody chronicled everything from family trips abroad (with detailed advice on, for example, how to avoid digestive upset) to the challenges of recovering from double-knee-replacement surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her husband of 43 years died less than two months after being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, she shared that, too\u2014in honest and unsparing detail. As she wrote: \u201cThere was no asking \u2018Why me?\u2019 Richard knew very well why. He\u2019d been a pack-a-day smoker for 50 years. Although he quit for good more than 15 years ago, it was far too late.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane was among the first journalists to recognize that better health doesn\u2019t happen in the doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>Tara Parker-Pope<\/strong> in a Times<\/em> tribute<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now 80 and still living in the house she and her husband bought in 1967, Brody remains active and fit\u2014a fact that will hardly surprise her readers, to whom she long espoused the benefits of regular exercise and moderate eating (and decried fad diets, quackery, and extremes of self-denial).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She takes daily walks with her dog\u2014Max, an 8-year-old Havanese\u2014around her neighborhood (Park Slope) and regularly rides her bike to the pool, swimming being her primary form of exercise these days. \u201cI am not a paragon of virtue,\u201d she insists. \u201cI don’t do everything right; I have shortcomings. But I do stick to a basic approach to living that will keep me as healthy as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about her plans for retirement, Brody says she\u2019s considering writing a book of essays\u2014not a memoir, she explains with typical candor, because \u201cI could not come up with an overriding theme that would carry a memoir I would want to read.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her devoted readership might, respectfully, disagree. As Parker-Pope said in her tribute: \u201cFor more than five decades, Jane\u2019s wisdom, wit, and writing have lifted us up, motivated us to try harder, and nudged us to be just a little better than we were before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
