My name is Judy Foreman. I was a staff writer at the Boston Globe for 23 years where I wrote a syndicated, weekly health column called "Health Sense".  I now write  the Health Sense column on a bi-weekly, freelance basis. 

The column is nationally syndicated and appears in numerous newspapers, including the Boston Globe, the LA Times, the Baltimore Sun, and the Dallas Morning News. I also have a contract with "WebMD", appear regularly on WBUR and am an Affiliated Scholar, on leave, at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University.

In addition, I am the host of a live call-in weekly radio show called Health Talk Live at www.healthtalk.com which airs every Wednesday night from 8:30 to 9:30 PM ET.

My columns cover such topics as aging, women's issues (including hormone replacement therapy), exercise and fitness, cancer, heart disease, alternative medicine, depression, nutrition and many others. All of my columns are available through this website.

I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Wellesley College, spent three years in the Peace Corps in Brazil, then earned a Masters degree in Education for General Purposes at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

During my Globe career, I initially wrote features, then was a guest reporter at The Times of London for six months in 1982. When I returned to the Globe, I began writing full-time on science and medicine. I was a fellow in the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1989-1990.

Back at the Globe after the fellowship, I continued to write about science and medicine and several years later began writing the weekly "Health Sense" column, which was syndicated internationally through United Media in New York.

I have won numerous national journalism awards from groups such as National Headliners Award, the American Society on Aging, the National Woman's Political Caucus, the American Heart Association, the Arthritis Foundation, the Associated Press Sports Editors and the Clarion Award, among others. I also co-wrote the script for a video documentary about a young woman dying from breast cancer that won the 1998 George Foster Peabody award.
