What if you could find out how fast you are aging, and make changes to slow your aging process?

She contributed to a recent article in Nature along with David Sinclair showing a striking scientific advance in turning back time. She discusses her research, what it has achieved — including the regrowth of damaged optical nerves in mice — and where it is headed, as well as her work creating the Index test for Elysium Health which can help us keep tabs on our progress over time. “Really where the power of these is going to be is in intervention and personal health.”Dr. Morgan Levine at Yale School of MedicineElysium HealthSay hi to the AGEIST team!
