Sourdough for Health

Internationally recognised as a leading authority on bread nutrition and digestibility, Dr Vanessa Kimbell holds a doctorate in Baking as Lifestyle Medicine and preventative healthcare.

Have you ever wondered why some breads make you feel tired, foggy and achy — or been puzzled that some leave you bloated while others don’t? If you can eat sourdough but not other bread, these articles and recipes are a great place to spark curiosity: learn how bread interacts with the gut microbiome, discover how your unique nutrigenetics shape your response, and read practical, evidence-based guidance. Cutting through the nonsense with clear, useful explanations, Vanessa shares tips, information, advice, recipes and methods to bake, eat and share healthy bread to support digestion and overall health. You can read more about training in personalising bread at The Sourdough School, or book a 1:1 meeting to get your bread personalised.

Bread & Guts

Bread & Guts

IT TAKES GUTS:

COMPETITION TIME

The Sourdough School founder Vanessa Kimbell has spent much of the past decade investing time, research & passion into how sourdough bread is digested, understanding the impact of fermenting grain and the potential for sourdough to support health. At the epicentre her research is the human gut microbiome, a collection of trillions of bacteria, fungi & other microorganisms that play a central role in health, digestion & immune function.

As a result of this research, Vanessa has taken her knowledge and understanding of the fermentation of bread and digestion to the next level. The result is a ground-breaking approach to teaching sourdough.

From June 2019 onwards we have incorporated gut microbial testing for all of our students and extended the course to a 12 – months support program incorporating measurable results with a gut microbiome retest after 3 months.

This personal approach will allow students to investigate their unique microbiota.

These tests empower students to analyse how changing diet and eating sourdough can affect the balance & composition of their gut microbiome,  – we believe this is one of the most powerful tools you can use to measure the potential impact on health.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that we have partnered with an extraordinary testing company called Atlas Biomed – we believe that they are the most comprehensive testing company in the world. We’d very much like to send you informative articles on bread, nutrition, health and the gut microbiome, from time to time.  By entering the competition you are agreeing to join our mailing list, which we will share with Atlas Biomed so they can also send you offers and newsletters from time to time.
