I was 63, in good shape and hadn’t seen a doctor in 15 years.

This will kill you quicker than anything. You would be amazed at the problems that can be detected by just a physical checkup and lab work. Being a pilot and having to see a doctor twice a year has kept me alive and healthy to the age of 63. That, and living a healthy lifestyle. I can still ride bicycles with my teenage grand kids and stay with the pack. If you are over 50, you should be getting a physical exam and labwork at least once a year. (Twice a year is better.)

“Being a pilot and having to see a doctor twice a year”

As a private pilot only doing class II & II physicals, it is amazing at the serious medical conditions people find by doing just those.
