Dr. Aruna Tummala

Dr. Aruna, MD, is a board-certified psychiatrist and founder of Psychiatry 2.0 and Trinergy Health. Conventional psychiatry has become a linear, medication-dependent, symptoms-based model with little to offer the millions of people struggling with mental illness. In response, Aruna, MD, turned to Integrative Psychiatry, fully embracing a patient-centered, collaborative care approach, which attempts to find the root cause of a person’s problems and work towards achieving overall mental health and balance.

Dr. Aruna, has pioneered a new path for mental wellness. Rather than just addressing the symptoms, Aruna, MD, uses a broad scope of intervention, including diet, exercise, natural personal care products, meditation, yoga, nutritional supplements, Ayurvedic herbs, HBOT, and psychotherapy. She strives for health, harmony, and vitality in all her patients. Dr. Aruna has authored and presented on the topics of mental illness, Ayurveda, and integrative approaches to mental illness to academic audiences both in the United States and abroad.

I encourage my patients to tend to all aspects of their health. What we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put inside them. Hence, my standard treatment recommendations include switching to clean, natural personal care products that are earth friendly and bio-degradable. The average woman applies up to 515 chemicals to her body every day! Chemicals that wreak havoc on multiple systems in our bodies – hormones, immune system, neuro-psychiatric system, and GI system, to name a few. Our skin is the largest organ of our body, and it is essential to use products that are clean, natural, in alignment with us, and biologically compatible with our systems and our Mother Earth. It is sad that this is considered a radical approach, but our personal care routine should only include chemical-free, natural products that support and improve our overall health.
