In this wide‑ranging conversation, TFS founder Pramu Rodrigo welcomes Dr Dilshan Anthony Fernando medical administrator, medtech innovator and co‑founder of Athlos Performance Lab to explore how data and science can elevate both athletic and professional performance. Dr Fernando explains his unconventional journey: he chose medicine to serve humanity and now builds healthcare systems, develops medical technologies and hosts a TV show. He and his partner created Athlos as Sri Lanka’s first state‑of‑the‑art performance testing centre where talent meets cutting‑edge sports science, empowering coaches to make data‑driven decisions .

Throughout the episode, Dr Fernando emphasises that “what you can’t measure, you can’t optimise.” He describes how Athlos uses tools such as cardiopulmonary exercise testing, force plates and biomechanics analysis to unlock the potential of elite athletes, recreational enthusiasts and anyone seeking preventive wellness. The lab runs education programs to close the knowledge gap and make science‑based training accessible to all. The discussion moves to periodization planning cycles of training and recovery. Dr Fernando notes that periodization evolved to help athletes manage stress and fatigue, reduce the risk of injury and burnout . It benefits general fitness enthusiasts too, since it decreases the risk of overtraining while maximising strength, speed and endurance .

The conversation also touches on business. Dr Fernando shares how he balances ethical patient care with entrepreneurship and why he uses bank loans strategically to scale ventures. Business loans are essential for expansion most organisations eventually need them, whether for equipment, new premises or acquisitions but he stresses the importance of careful feasibility planning and not over‑leveraging. Whether you’re an athlete, a business owner or simply curious about the intersection of health and finance, this episode offers fresh insights into optimising performance, managing risk and building success sustainably.
