Immigration, Chief Longevity Officer, Boomer Women Economic Influence, Longevity Rules for Women 10-7-25
Ageism Awareness Day is October 9, 2025. In this News for the Ages podcast on 10-7-25, we did two articles on longevity. Note that our October 16, Rethinking Aging Club Podcast will be with Maddy Dychtwald to discuss her Ageless Aging Book. Today, Benjamin Surmi reported on a new federal immigration proposal aiming to address workforce needs, including a new caregiver visa for child and elder care. Ellen Khalifa highlighted the rise of Chief Longevity Officers in companies like L’Oreal and Fidelidad, emphasizing the importance of integrating longevity strategies into business models. Elizabeth Magallon Fleury discussed the economic power of Boomer women, who control up to $40 trillion and influence healthcare and charitable contributions. Debbie Howard reviewed an article on longevity rules for women, noting similarities and differences in exercise, diet, and medication needs between genders. Co-hosts Ray Gordon and Linda Sherman added to discussion.
