Our philosophy is straightforward: we explore underlying patterns using advanced diagnostics and a functional medicine framework to gain a deeper understanding of your health, always under the supervision of a physician.
Our goal is to support a deeper understanding of your overall well-being, guiding functional health and wellness. Founded by Dr. Mitra Basu Chhillar — physician, researcher, and medical director with over 30 years of experience, 55+ scientific publications, and six authored books — Soma brings together the rigour of research with the depth of personalised care, research insight with structured wellness support.
Whether you’re seeking guidance on health concerns or looking to understand your body better, Soma offers a new path forward: one rooted in insight, precision, and science-backed transformation that aims to support functional wellness under medical supervision.
The Soma Story
The Future of
Healthcare Is Personal
At Soma, we believe the next era of medicine isn’t about more prescriptions; it’s about precision; it’s about providing functional wellness support.
Founded and led by Dr. Mitra Basu Chhillar, a pioneer in regenerative and functional medicine, Soma is the result of over three decades of clinical research and innovation. His vision: treat the person, not just the protocol, for maximum health outcomes.
That’s why Soma exists: to decode your unique biology, uncover underlying contributors, and design therapies that go beyond symptom management, supporting well-being and health optimisation to support functional wellness; (outcomes may vary by individual).
At Soma, we combine regenerative science, hormone and immune recalibration, and advanced diagnostics with nutrition and neuro-recovery, functional health insights, diagnostics, and lifestyle guidance. Whether you’re navigating chronic conditions or seeking to optimise longevity, we provide guidance and support beyond the limits of conventional care. Please note that outcomes are individual, and programs are not intended to replace medical care.
We’re not chasing symptoms. We’re redefining what it means to heal, regenerate, and thrive — one personalised journey at a time. We aim to support wellness and functional resilience under medical supervision.
Vision
At Soma, we see a future where healthcare isn’t confined to standard modern medicine but is shaped by precision therapy under physician guidance.
The treatments of tomorrow aren’t generic prescriptions—they’re the personalised solutions we provide today.
*Please note that these are wellness programs designed to support individual health; not intended as disease treatment.
Mission
We exist to revolutionise health and wellness by integrating functional medicine with advanced therapies under physician guidance, ensuring every individual receives the precise care they need tailored to their biology.
At Soma, we go beyond symptom management; we restore balance, enhance longevity, and elevate life performance by providing functional support to optimise well-being within a physician-supervised framework.
By delving deep into human biology and embracing each person’s unique biochemistry, Soma equips individuals with the knowledge and tools to better understand their health and functional wellness.
Our Clinical Philosophy
Prevention. Regeneration. Precision.
We don’t believe healthcare begins with disease; it begins with dysfunction.
At Soma, we focus on catching imbalances early, restoring what’s disrupted, and supporting the systems that keep you performing at your best — from energy metabolism to immune resilience and cognitive clarity. Outcomes may vary individually.
Our approach rests on three pillars:
Prevention
Detecting risks before they escalate into chronic disease.
Regeneration
Helping the body recover its natural capacity to heal and rebuild.
Precision
Tailoring every plan to your unique biology with scientifically backed interventions, within clinical supervision; results vary individually.
Diagnostics & Protocols:
The Science
That Powers Our Plans
At Soma, testing isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about understanding your body’s deeper story.
We look beyond conventional lab markers to assess system-wide function: how well your body produces energy, handles stress, detoxifies, regulates hormones, and adapts to ageing; assess markers under the guidance of a physician, to inform functional wellness; these assessments are not a substitute for conventional diagnosis.
This data forms the blueprint for a therapy plan that evolves with you — supporting recovery, enhancing performance, and building long-term health from the inside out.
Because healing isn’t a reaction. It’s a strategy.
