Dr. Kerry Burnight has been a Gerontologist and Professor of Geriatric Medicine for 30 years. She had a front-row seat to the aging journeys of thousands of people—patients stooped and miserable in their 60s, and others radiant like her 96-year-old mother, Betty. She’s sparking a global revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, Dr. Kerry is changing how we approach longevity. And she knows even a long life spent in good health doesn’t mean much if you don’t enjoy it! Enter her new book “JoySpan,” a practical guide that offers a radical and optimistic approach to longevity. We spoke with Dr. Kerry about the “Club Sandwich Generation,” her lifelong mission as America’s Gerontologist to share how growing older can be an era of expansion, the four keys to increasing your joyspan, how misunderstood people with dementia are, and why we need to change how we communicate with our aging family and friends.
