America’s Gerontologist, Dr. Kerry Burnight, 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. 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 such T.V. programs as CBS News, NBC News, The Doctors, Money Matters, and The Dr. Phil Show. Kerry Burnight lives in Dana Point, California, with her husband, Todd. They have three adult children, Beau, Claire, and Elle. Kerry’s 95 year-old mother, Betty, has used the joyspan approach for over 30 and shares her experiences with millions of people on the Instagram account, The_Gerontologist.
