Developed by Yale professor Morgan Levine, PhD, Elysium Health’s Index test reads your biological age (not how many trips around the sun you’ve taken, but a comparative number determined by genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors). The test also shows your rate of aging by finding specific epigenetic biomarkers in your DNA. All you have to do: Order a kit, take a saliva sample, and mail it in. In the following six weeks, the scientists at Elysium extract your DNA and, load that DNA onto a chip, scan it, and analyze the results to identify sites where methylation (a type of epigenetic change) has occurred. Your report comes back with your current biological age, rate of aging, and a booklet of science-backed recommendations for healthy living—so you can make the adjustments that are right for you and see if you can lower your numbers.
