Athletic Recovery & Performance Medicine in Dallas
Train Consistently, Recover Better, Stay in the Game
Athlete blood testing, recovery care, hormone checks and non-steroid injury options for runners, lifters and active adults, at our clinic near White Rock Lake.
What Is Performance Medicine?
Performance medicine uses lab testing and medical care to help active adults and athletes train consistently, recover well and stay healthy. Instead of guessing, it looks for the things that quietly hold performance back, such as low iron, low vitamin D, hormone changes, under-fueling, poor sleep and nagging injuries.
At Regen Wellness in Dallas, a licensed provider reviews your training, recovery and labs, then builds a plan that may include nutrient repletion, hormone care when there's a medical need, IV therapy and non-steroid injection options for injuries.

Athlete Blood Testing
A standard checkup rarely looks at the markers that matter most for training. Your provider chooses tests based on your sport, training load and symptoms.
| Area | What we check | Why it matters for athletes |
|---|---|---|
| Iron | Ferritin, iron and a complete blood count | Low iron is common in runners and menstruating athletes and cuts endurance, often before anemia shows up. |
| Vitamin D | 25-hydroxy vitamin D | Low levels are linked to stress fractures, muscle weakness and more illness. |
| Hormones | Testosterone, estradiol, thyroid and cortisol, based on your age and symptoms | Hard training, under-fueling and age can all lower hormones and slow recovery. |
| Recovery & strain | Creatine kinase, inflammation markers and kidney function | Shows muscle strain and how well you're recovering between hard sessions. |
| Metabolism | A1c, fasting insulin and lipids | Fueling and metabolic health affect energy, body composition and long-term heart health. |

Overtraining and Under-Fueling
Overtraining syndrome happens when training stress outpaces recovery for weeks or months. Signs include performance that keeps dropping, a higher resting heart rate, poor sleep, frequent illness, low mood and lost motivation.
A closely related problem is low energy availability, sometimes called RED-S, when you don't eat enough to cover your training. It can lower hormones, weaken bones and disrupt periods, and it affects men as well as women.
Both are diagnosed by ruling out other causes. We test for iron, thyroid, hormone and other problems, then work with you on training load, fueling and sleep. If fueling is a struggle, we'll connect you with a sports dietitian or other support.
Stop Exercising and Get Care Right Away For
Chest pain, fainting, a racing or irregular heartbeat, or unusual shortness of breath during exercise.
Dark, cola-colored urine with severe muscle pain or weakness after hard exercise, which can be rhabdomyolysis.
Bone pain that gets worse with activity and doesn't ease with rest, which can be a stress fracture.
Our Recovery and Performance Care
Every plan is personalized to your sport, labs and goals. Most draw on these steps:
Correct what the labs find
Iron, vitamin D and other gaps are fixed first, because they're among the most common and most fixable limits on performance.
Fuel, sleep and training load
Practical guidance on eating enough for your training, sleeping well and building in recovery.
IV therapy and NAD+
Some patients add IV therapy for hydration and nutrients, or NAD+, around hard training blocks or events. These support recovery but don't replace food, fluids and sleep.
Hormone care when there's a medical need
If testing shows low testosterone or menopause-related changes, we'll discuss hormone therapy. We don't prescribe hormones to boost performance in people with normal levels.
Injury support
Non-steroid injection options such as Prolozone and PRP for tendon and joint pain that won't settle, alongside rehab.
Supplements only with a reason
Your provider will recommend specific products, and you can find the practitioner-grade options we use in the weight loss and athletics collection at Regen Wellness Vitamins, our supplement store in the same suite.
Patients often ask about peptides such as BPC-157 for recovery. Research on BPC-157 is mostly in animals, and it isn't FDA-approved. We'll explain what's known and the risks if you're interested.
Do You Compete in a Drug-Tested Sport?
If you're tested by USADA, WADA, the NCAA or another sports body, tell us before any treatment. Several things that are fine for most active adults are banned or restricted in tested sport:
- Peptides: BPC-157 and many other peptides are on the World Anti-Doping Agency's prohibited list.
- Hormones: testosterone and growth hormone-releasing peptides are prohibited without an approved therapeutic use exemption.
- IV infusions: IVs of more than 100 mL in 12 hours are prohibited for tested athletes unless given during hospital treatment or approved by an exemption, even if the fluid itself is allowed.
Always check the current rules with your governing body or the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) before treatment.

Peptide therapy →Athletic Recovery & Performance FAQs
What blood tests should athletes get?
A complete blood count, ferritin and iron, vitamin D, a metabolic panel, thyroid tests and, depending on your age and symptoms, sex hormones. Endurance athletes and menstruating athletes especially benefit from regular iron checks.
Does IV therapy help athletic recovery?
IV fluids rehydrate you faster than drinking, which can help after heavy sweat loss or illness. For most people, drinking fluids and eating well work just as well for everyday recovery. IVs are an optional add-on, and they're restricted for drug-tested athletes.
What are the signs of overtraining?
Performance that drops despite training, a higher resting heart rate, poor sleep, frequent colds, heavy legs, low mood and lost motivation. If rest of a week or two doesn't help, get checked for iron, thyroid and hormone problems.
Can you prescribe testosterone to improve performance?
No. We only treat low testosterone when testing confirms it and you have symptoms. Testosterone is also banned in drug-tested sport without an approved exemption.
Do peptides help with muscle recovery?
Peptides such as BPC-157 are popular for recovery, but human research is limited and they're not FDA-approved for it. BPC-157 is also banned in drug-tested sport. We'll go over the evidence and risks if you're curious.
Is this the same as seeing a sports medicine doctor?
Not exactly. A sports medicine physician diagnoses and manages sports injuries. Our focus is labs, recovery, hormones, nutrition and non-steroid injection options, and we work alongside sports medicine doctors and physical therapists.
