Gaussian rotation interpolation inequality ($\mathbb{E}\Psi (f(X)-\mathbb{E}f(X))\le \mathbb{E}\Psi (\frac{\pi }{2}⟨\nabla f(X),Y⟩)$)

For independent and identically distributed random variables $X,Y$ with a centered multivariate normal distribution, a continuously differentiable function $f$ with bounded gradient, and a convex function $\Psi$ for which the expressions are integrable, the displayed inequality holds. First apply Jensen inequality conditionally to $f(X)-f(Y)$. For the Gaussian rotation of independent copies, the chain rule gives $f(X)-f(Y)={\int }_0^{\pi /2}⟨\nabla f(U_{\theta }),V_{\theta }⟩d\theta$. A second application of Jensen inequality to the uniform measure on $[0,\pi /2]$, followed by the Gaussian rotation of independent copies, proves the inequality. The useful choice $\Psi (v)=e^{\lambda |v|}$ yields a Gaussian concentration inequality through an exponential moment of an absolute standard normal variable.
