Available at Thodupuzha · Perumbavoor · Kottarakkara
Why Physician-Led Sports Nutrition?
Sports nutrition advice is everywhere — but advice calibrated to your clinical status, injury history, training load, and metabolic profile is rare. Dr. Ajeesh T Alex holds the IOC Diploma in Sports Nutrition from the International Olympic Committee, one of the most rigorous qualifications in evidence-based sports dietetics. Combined with his clinical background in sports medicine, this means your nutrition plan is built on the same scientific foundation used to support Olympic-level athletes — applied to your individual goals and health status.
At Actymed, sports nutrition is not a generic meal plan. It is a clinical service that integrates with your training, your recovery, and where relevant, your rehabilitation.
What We Offer
Personalised Macro Planning
Protein, carbohydrate, and fat targets calculated precisely for your body composition, sport, training frequency, and goal — whether that is building muscle, reducing body fat, sustaining endurance, or recovering from illness or injury. Every plan is reviewed and adjusted as your training and physiology change.
Carb Cycling and Periodised Nutrition
Carbohydrate periodisation — matching your carbohydrate intake to the energy demands of each training day — is one of the most powerful tools in performance nutrition. Dr. Ajeesh designs carb cycling protocols for fat loss without compromising performance, and for fuelling high-intensity training blocks effectively. You can also explore carb cycling independently using our Carb Cycling Calculator.
Injury Recovery Nutrition
The body’s nutritional requirements change significantly after injury, surgery, or during rehabilitation. Protein synthesis, collagen formation, inflammation management, and bone healing all depend on precise nutritional support. At Actymed, injury recovery nutrition is planned as a clinical priority — not an afterthought — alongside your rehabilitation programme.
Evidence-Based Supplement Guidance
The supplement market is flooded with products that are either ineffective, unnecessary, or potentially harmful. Dr. Ajeesh provides guidance based on the IOC’s evidence framework — identifying which supplements have genuine scientific support for your specific goal (such as creatine, caffeine, or vitamin D), and helping you avoid products that offer no clinical benefit. For competitive athletes, WADA compliance is also reviewed.
Body Composition Assessment and Planning
Whether your goal is fat loss, lean muscle gain, or performance-specific body composition, Dr. Ajeesh designs an evidence-based plan aligned to your physiological targets. This includes TDEE calculation, energy availability assessment, and monitoring of body composition changes over time. Start with our free TDEE Calculator or Macros Calculator as a first step.
Race Day and Competition Nutrition Planning
Pre-competition nutrition, during-event fuelling, and post-event recovery nutrition are planned as a complete strategy. This is especially important for endurance athletes, combat sport competitors, and team sport players with high training loads in the weeks before competition.

Sports and performance nutrition at Actymed is designed for:
- Competitive athletes — from club-level to state and national competitors across any sport

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. Anyone who is physically active and wants to fuel their body more effectively can benefit from a nutrition consultation. Whether you are training for a marathon, going to the gym three times a week, or recovering from a knee injury, a personalised nutrition plan will support your goals.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Diploma in Sports Nutrition is a postgraduate qualification offered by the IOC’s Medical and Scientific Commission. It is widely considered one of the most credible and evidence-based credentials in sports nutrition globally. Dr. Ajeesh completed this qualification alongside his clinical training in sports medicine.
Absolutely. Protein intake directly affects muscle and tendon repair speed. Collagen synthesis depends on adequate vitamin C and specific amino acids. Anti-inflammatory nutrition can reduce recovery time after tissue injury. Bone stress fractures respond strongly to calcium, vitamin D, and total energy availability. Nutrition is a core clinical component of rehabilitation at Actymed, not an optional add-on.
The evidence supports a small number of supplements for specific goals — creatine monohydrate for strength and power, caffeine for endurance and high-intensity performance, beta-alanine for repeated sprint sports, and vitamin D for those who are deficient. Most other products on the market have weak or no clinical evidence. Dr. Ajeesh will advise you based on your specific goal, sport, and health status — and will check WADA compliance for competitive athletes.
