Integrative Medicine Specialist • Orthopaedic Surgeon • Thought Leader
• Speaker • Story-Weaver • Founder, Spinalogy Clinic
Dr Kiran Shete believes that healing is not an event but a journey of becoming. For over two decades, he has been at the intersection of modern medicine and ancient wisdom—studying bones and joints, as well as human behaviour, consciousness, and longevity.
Through his clinical work, research, and the Healthi BEING movement, he aims to make healthcare more humane, more inclusive, and more accessible to everyday people.
The Story Behind the Author
Kiran grew up between two worlds—the disciplined rigour of science and the quiet depth of traditional Indian living. His grandparents taught him simplicity, rhythm, and nature’s truths. Medicine taught him precision, technology, and logic.
It took years before he realised that true health lies in the union of both.
In his orthopaedic practice, he repeatedly saw patients who were not just physically injured—they were emotionally exhausted, mentally scattered, and spiritually empty. Their MRI findings did not match their suffering. Their lab tests did not reflect their lived reality.
This gap between biology and being became his lifelong curiosity.

From Surgeon to Integrative Thinker
To take this understanding beyond theory, Dr. Kiran Shete founded the Integrative Lifestyle Initiative—a clinical movement designed to turn knowledge into day-to-day transformation.
Here, medicine is practised not as symptom management but as life management. Patients are guided through posture, movement, breath, sleep, nutrition, emotional hygiene, and mind-body alignment using evidence-based tools. The aim is singular: to help individuals not just recover, but extend their healthspan, regain agency over their wellbeing, and experience what it truly means to be health-lightened.
Why He Wrote Healthi BEING
For Kiran, the book was not a project—it was a responsibility.
Patients kept asking:
- “Why am I tired even when my tests are normal?”
- “Why do I feel anxious even when life is stable?”
- “Why does my pain return despite treatment?”
- “Why am I losing clarity, focus, or emotional balance?”
Healthi BEING is a map for that transformation:
- Panchakosha meets neuroscience
- Stories meet laboratory tests
- Ancient epics meet MRI machines
- Circadian rhythm meets Upanishadic rhythm
- Emotional knots meet neurobiology
It is a guide for anyone who wants to live longer, clearer, calmer, and more connected to their true self.

Philosophy & Approach
Kiran believes:

- Modern science and ancient wisdom are complementary.
- Chronic disease is often a lifestyle and rhythm disorder, not just an anatomical one.
- Healing needs agency, awareness, and daily rituals.
- Simplicity is a powerful medicine.
His approach is often described as:
- Scientific enough for doctors.
- Simple enough for parents.
- Deep enough for seekers.

- A father

- A lover of nature, long walks, treks, cycling and reflective silence
- Someone who learns deeply from everyday life—from balloon sellers, farmers, patients, and his own daughters
His favourite definition of health is:
“Health is harmony—when your body moves with ease, your mind thinks with clarity, and your being lives in alignment.”
