About

Jeffrey Graham, MD, MPH trained at the University of Arkansas, completed family medicine residency and sports medicine fellowship training at Mountain Area Health Education Center, and earned an MPH from UNC-Chapel Hill while serving in the Mississippi Delta through the National Health Service Corps. He later worked in Indonesia and Tanzania on HIV, TB, and malaria prevention programs before returning to faculty and private practice in North Carolina. At Wild Health, he serves as Chief Medical Officer and sees Premium members through a lifestyle, sports medicine, and metabolic-risk lens.

What to Know

Signature approach

Graham's read starts with lifestyle medicine and sports medicine: training load, sleep, nutrition, recovery, and metabolic risk before prescription-first escalation. His published teaching emphasizes early biomarker signals such as fasting insulin, hs-CRP, A1C, homocysteine, B12, and omega-3 index, especially when cardiovascular or neurodegenerative risk is part of the question.

What sets them apart

  • Population-health background. Mississippi Delta service through the NHSC and HIV, TB, and malaria work in Indonesia and Tanzania give him a broader public-health frame than most concierge longevity physicians.
  • Sports medicine lens. Fellowship training plus his own CrossFit, mountaineering, trail-running, and mountain-biking interests shape how he reads recovery and training load.
  • Physician education role. He teaches biomarker testing for precision and personalized age management through AMMG.
