I do. I’m Dr. Antti Rintanen, a physician (MD) with a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Management, and a former Taekwon-Do World Champion. drantti.com is my personal blog, and I personally choose what is published here. You can read more about my background on the About page.

The articles explain general principles, and they cannot replace an individual assessment. Your own results and symptoms should be interpreted by your own doctor, who knows your medical history and can examine you.
I primarily rely on peer-reviewed, indexed research, together with my own clinical experience. The articles include references to the sources they are based on, so you can check them yourself. I use AI tools in the editorial process for research, information retrieval, reference processing and article structure, but I decide what is published. Read more in my Editorial Guidelines.
