Fill in the form below to discuss how we can tailor a unique approach to bread to you.

We are all unique, and so our reactions to bread  differ. While some people can find bread perfectly harmless, for many, particularly when it comes to commercial and some artisan breads, the long-term health impacts of consuming bread that increases inflammation, and triggers digestive issues can be negative.

Here, we offer courses, and recipe development that is tailored to your individual bread-making, eating, and sharing habits. This bespoke approach ensures the bread you consume supports your health and well-being, serving as a preventative health measure and a lifestyle medicine to enhance your longevity and happiness. To book a free consultation with Dr Kimbell you can fill in the form below and we’ll get in touch to offer you a free 15 minutes session.
