Ltrl

Health advice from people you trust

July 1, 2026 Why we started

We started by asking a simple question: if you Google a health topic, can you tell who wrote what you're reading? Almost never. The authors — real doctors, real researchers — have their work buried across blogs, newsletters, and journal sites with no single place to find them. So we built Ltrl. We indexed the national provider registry, started pulling in published health content, and connected the two — verified credentials next to the actual writing. Early users told us the same thing: "I didn't know I could search for a doctor by what they've written about." That's the moment we knew we had something. We're live now with a searchable directory and working toward letting clinicians claim their profiles and publish directly.

    The “search for a doctor by what they’ve written” reaction is a stronger signal than the directory itself. Does the current usage show more pull from people searching for expertise, or from clinicians wanting to claim and build their presence?

About

Health advice online is mostly anonymous. Ltrl gives doctors and researchers a verified, searchable profile so readers always know who they're trusting. We're building the accountability layer health content is missing.
