Athletic Performance
For High Performers
SOMA's athletic performance programme applies the clinic's testing-first method to training: comprehensive panels find what is limiting your recovery, adaptation and output, and a physician-designed protocol corrects it. For competitive athletes and serious amateurs in Mumbai and New Delhi — built on measurement, not supplements-by-rumour.
Who this programme serves
Competitive athletes managing load across a season. Serious amateurs whose progress has stalled despite disciplined training. High performers whose recovery no longer matches their ambition. And athletes returning from injury or illness who want the comeback built on data rather than hope.
The common pattern
Almost every stalled athlete we test shows the same picture: training dialled in, biology ignored — iron or vitamin D depletion, under-fuelling, disrupted sleep, cortisol running high. The limiter is rarely the programme; it's the platform.
Why performance plateaus
Adaptation happens in recovery, not in training. When nutrition, sleep, hormones or inflammation can't keep pace with load, the stimulus that should build capacity starts eroding it — performance flatlines, injuries niggle, motivation dips. More training deepens the hole; the answer is usually upstream.
How SOMA tests an athlete
Panels tuned to performance: iron status and oxygen-carrying capacity, vitamin D, full hormonal picture including cortisol and, where relevant, testosterone, inflammatory markers, glucose dynamics and fuelling adequacy, plus sleep and recovery history against training load. The output is specific: what is limiting you, and what should change first.
What a performance protocol includes
Precision fuelling and lifestyle foundations matched to training load; correction of documented deficits, with IV nutrient therapy where speed matters; red and infrared light therapy for recovery and tissue repair; hormetic practices to build resilience in the off-season; and NAD+ IV therapy where testing points to cellular energy limits. Physician-selected, retested, and adjusted with your season.
What athletes notice
Recovery that keeps up with training again: better sleep, fresher sessions, fewer niggles, and progress resuming where it had stalled. Then the confirmation at retest — markers corrected, capacity holding. Individual results vary; the programme promises measurement and method, and it does not involve any prohibited substance or practice.
Common questions
Yes. SOMA's performance work is testing, nutrition, recovery and physician-supervised correction of documented deficits — no prohibited substances or methods. Athletes subject to anti-doping codes should share their sport's requirements at consultation so every element is checked against them.
Iron and oxygen-carrying capacity, vitamin D, hormonal and cortisol patterns, inflammatory markers, glucose and fuelling adequacy, and recovery history against your training load — the biology under your programme, mapped.
Overtraining is a recovery deficit, and it shows up clearly in testing — cortisol rhythm, inflammation, hormonal suppression. SOMA identifies how deep it runs and builds the return: load management with your coach, foundations restored, markers retested.
Yes, willingly. SOMA handles the biology; your coach owns the programme. Findings and progress are shared so training decisions rest on data — the combination consistently outperforms either working alone.
Your biology has the answers. Let’s ask it the right questions.
Consultations at our Mumbai (Dadar) and New Delhi (Greater Kailash II) clinics begin with testing, not treatment.
