In 2007, a period of intense personal stress led Dr. Dintyala to discover principles of stress mastery that transformed his own health and wellbeing. Guided in part by researcher Dr. Judith Sedgeman, he developed a clinical framework that merges Western medicine with mind-body healing. That framework now drives everything he does with patients. He is passionate about chronic disease reversal, longevity, burnout recovery, anxiety, depression, gut health, and autoimmune conditions. He authored the book "Calm in the Midst of Chaos" and speaks internationally as a thought leader in integrative health. Joseph E. Scherger, MD, MPH, Vice President of Eisenhower Medical Center, endorsed his stress mastery system. Patients and peers know him simply as Dr. Calm.
