What Is Nutrigenetics?
Nutrigenetics looks at how your genes affect the way you digest and use nutrients. It helps explain why some people thrive on certain foods while others may struggle. For example, one person may break down carbohydrates efficiently, while another may be more sensitive to sugar. Understanding these differences can guide healthier food choices.
Sourdough and Personalised Nutrition
At The Sourdough School, we use nutrigenetics to shape our approach to baking. By tailoring recipes to different genetic profiles, we support specific health outcomes. We also work with fermented breads made from botanical blend flours, which offer higher levels of fibre, minerals, and polyphenols.
These blends are especially useful for people with genes linked to blood sugar imbalance or chronic inflammation. The structure of whole grains, together with long fermentation, slows digestion and nourishes the gut.
Proven Bread and Genetic Health
The Proven Bread Subscription supports eight key genes that affect detox, cardiovascular function, and inflammation. Every loaf is designed to work in harmony with your body’s unique needs.
This subscription is more than just bread. It’s a practical way to support your health based on emerging nutritional science. You can read more about:
Integrating Nutrigenetics into Everyday Baking
You don’t need a DNA test to start exploring nutrigenetics. Choosing wholegrain flours, slow fermentation, and fibre-rich ingredients is a practical step forward. Our bread kits and starter kits make it easy to get started.
If you want more guidance, our 3-day BALM workshops explore the links between sourdough, genetics, and gut health in a hands-on setting. For a more personalised experience, we offer nutrigenetic consultations and testing.
