I’m Dr Vanessa Kimbell — the first person in the world to hold a doctorate in Baking as Lifestyle Medicine and Preventative Healthcare. A lifetime ago, I was a time-served artisan baker, returning from France, who stopped being able to eat bread. That’s when I asked what no one else thought to ask: why was the fast, fibreless bread we ate every single day slowly harming us — and what if the opposite was the truth? What if slow-fermented, wholegrain diversity sourdough optimally supports our health? It does. This is where I share that, challenge you to think differently, and inspire you to bake, eat and share Proven Bread.

You can explore that further at The Sourdough School, or book a 1:1 meeting to get your bread personalised.
