Set in the walled gardens of Dr Vanessa Kimbell's beautiful Victorian home in rural Northamptonshire; this is baking tailored to to suit the biology of the person eating it using nutrigenetics and gut health assessments. We train healthcare professionals and bakers to bake Proven Bread.

Mobile phone usage at The Sourdough School

During the classes, we are a mobile phone-free space.

Part of learning how to implement the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine is learning to let the world carry on sometimes so you can focus on being here and now while you are with us. You are free to make calls in the library or garden and take photos of your bakes during breaks, but we have a complete ban on phones in the classes.

Should anyone need to contact you in an emergency, they can use the school number +44 (0)7707 480336 

The video below is a good explanation from Professor Adam Alter about why changing your attitude toward your phone is part of our lifestyle medicine approach.
