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.

SWEET SOURDOUGH BOOK GIVEAWAY

The Sweet Sourdough Book Giveaway

PLEASE NOTE: THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED

We are excited to be giving away two signed copies of Vanessa’s fourth book The Sourdough School Sweet Baking: Nourishing the Gut & the Mind worth £24.99. It is an indispensable guide to exploring the techniques and ingredients involved in successful sweet sourdough baking. A companion to the bestselling The Sourdough School, it focuses on sweet recipes that are gut-friendly and rely on natural sweetness and natural sugars where possible.

Classic recipes and new ideas for flavour combinations, offer bakers an alternative method of baking cakes, tarts, pancakes, doughnuts, panettones, pretzels – nothing is off limits. If it rises, it can be made with sourdough.

Also featured are recipes for natural compotes and syrups to accompany your bakes.

Vanessa also explains how sourdough helps to maintain the health and diversity of your gut microbiome, which in turn has been shown to improve not just our overall health and well-being but also our mental health. New studies are unveiling links between the microorganisms in our gut and our mood and behaviour, and Vanessa is at the forefront of this research.
