JoySpan: How to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier with Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight
We spend so much time trying not to age… but the real question isn’t how not to age — it’s how can we age well?
In this heartfelt conversation of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Kerry Burnight, leading Gerontologist and author of the bestselling book Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half, to explore what it truly means to live a long, meaningful, and joy-filled life. We talk about how to expand not just your lifespan or healthspan, but your joyspan— the quality of your days, your relationships, and your inner life.
Dr. Kerry shares inspiring insights on how joy differs from happiness, why internalized ageism keeps us from thriving, and how autonomy, purpose, and connection become essential nutrients as we grow older. We also talk about what really matters at the end of life — and how to start cultivating it right now, no matter your age.
A beautiful reminder that aging isn’t something to fear—it’s a sacred invitation to grow, love, and live more fully.
