About

I am passionate about food and nutrition. I was a GP for 20 years, and am still a medical Dr and have recently trained as a Nutritional Therapist after having Bowel cancer myself.
With poor blood sugar control and challenging gut symptoms following my ileostomy, I am keen to find a way of enjoying bread again, in a way that nourishes my body and reduces my risk of bowel cancer recurrence.
I love eating sourdough with a healthy protein such as salmon or cheese with my homemade Sauerkraut and as many colourful plants as I can fit on my plate!
I bake for my husband and 2 teenage boys and and on a mission to get them to love Sourdough bread also so that I can know I am also improving their gut health., as well as my own.
I have done the LifecodeGx Nutrigenomics course and am keen to learn about how I can personalise my bread to my genetics also.
I have minimal experience in making Sourdough and have a lot to learn from Vanessa.

My Work

I am based in Hampshire - as well as working as a Medical Dr, I am a Nutritional Therapist and run a small practice via Zoom. I see all types of clients for Nutritional Therapy and am hoping to start to help people with a history of bowel cancer with their diet and lifestyle.

Passionate about Baking as Lifestyle Medicine

I have a personal and professional interest as outlined above because of my history of bowel cancer, and my work as a nutritional therapist.

My Community

I could in the future help others with a history of bowel cancer to improve their gut health via high diversity sourdough.
