The Sourdough School

BALM – Proven as one of the healthiest approaches to bread in the world.

Discover how Baking as Lifestyle Medicine can transform your gut and mental health—through bread. Based in the walled gardens of Dr. Vanessa Kimbell’s beautiful Victorian home in rural Northamptonshire, UK, we teach individuals, bakers, and healthcare professionals to bake Proven Bread. Developed by Dr. Kimbell—widely recognised as a global authority on bread and health—this functional nutrition approach uses nutrigenetics to personalise each loaf for optimal health.
