Most of us know about lifespan and healthspan—but have you thought about your joyspan? Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight is the author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. She shares her research and practical wisdom on how to extend not just the years of our lives, but the years we will truly enjoy living. Drawing from her “Joyspan Matrix” and decades of experience, Kerry, a nationally recognized advocate for positive aging, offers a fresh perspective and new thinking on thriving in later life for your consideration.
We discuss:
The importance of joyspan alongside lifespan and healthspan
What she's learned from her longest running case study (her Mom)
Lessons from her grandmothers’ contrasting approaches to aging
The four pillars of the Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give
Why connection is as vital as medicine
How purpose can change our biology and well-being
Practical ways to spark curiosity and joy through personal projects
Kerry Burnight joins us from Southern California.

Bio
Dr. Kerry Burnight, America’s Gerontologist, is sparking a revolution to make older better.
Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to “Dr. Kerry” for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity. Her approach to aging is based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn’t the length of your life, it’s the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan and even healthspan don’t address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don’t like your life. Burnight introduces the critical concept, “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose.
She earned her PhD in Gerontology at the University of Southern California. Dr. Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. She was an invited speaker to the U.S. White House at the Elder Justice Summit and at the U.S. Department of Justice. She has appeared on CBS News, NBC News, The Doctors, Money Matters, and The Dr. Phil Show.
