The standard annual physical has not meaningfully changed in decades — and the science has moved far beyond it. Most routine checkups miss critical biomarkers, skip validated risk assessments, and leave patients with a false sense of security about their health trajectory.
Dr. Paul Kilgore — a physician-epidemiologist with 36 years of clinical practice, 150+ peer-reviewed publications, and experience as a COVID-19 vaccine trial investigator — reveals the gap between what standard medicine tests and what the evidence says you should know about your own body.
This session covers the biomarkers and assessments that most primary care visits miss: biological age vs. chronological age, inflammatory markers, metabolic panel deep-dives, cardiovascular risk beyond cholesterol, cancer screening optimization, and cognitive health baselines. Dr. Kilgore will walk attendees through how to request these tests, how to interpret the results, and how to integrate them into an ongoing personal health monitoring system using free tools available at drpaulkilgore.com.
Attendees leave knowing exactly which tests to ask for at their next appointment and how to use those results to build a prevention strategy that actually works.

Format: Breakout session or keynote. Duration: 45–60 minutes. Target audience: Health-conscious adults, corporate wellness, benefits professionals, patient advocacy groups. Not a substitute for medical advice — educational and empowerment-focused. AV needs: screen, microphone, HDMI.
