    23: BALM Podcast - Felicity Spector

    Twice during this podcast, I had to fight quite an emotional response — which really surprised me.

    We’ve all become a little numb, haven’t we? The news cycle grinds on — summits, politicians, empty words. But this conversation is something else entirely.

    This podcast is about bakers and bread — and what it’s like to bake in a war zone. To make sourdough in a city being bombed. To feed people when there’s nothing. Felicity Spector brings stories from Ukraine that are so raw, so real, they stop you in your tracks. Her book, Bread and War, is written with prose that transports you: to bakeries under siege, to soldiers eating syrniki in flak jackets, to mothers and sons separated, to families baking against the odds.

    It’s humbling. It’s human. It’s filled with quiet courage. And it reminds us that bread — real bread — has no borders.

    I have Russian students. I have Ukrainian students. I teach people from 84 countries around the world. Bread has no boundaries. We need peace. We need to put the weapons down and bake together.

    I don’t believe bakers make war. I believe politicians sell weapons and grab land. Forgive my non-partisan stance, but I won’t take sides. I will say that Felicity is possibly one of the most inspiring journalists I’ve had the privilege to interview.

    This episode is one I urge you to listen to. And please — buy the book. Bread and War is as close as you’ll get to the truth of Ukraine without being there yourself.

    How we can use Nutrigenetics to Personalise Bread

    Nutrigenetics is the study of how an individual's genetic makeup influences their response to nutrients and dietary intake. It investigates how genetic variations affect nutrient metabolism, dietary requirements, and the risk of developing certain diseases. In essence, nutrigenetics explores the intricate interplay between genes and nutrition

    Emma Beswick, the founder of Lifecode GX and Dr Vanessa Kimbell have an in depth discussion on bread and Nutrigenetics and how this can can help determine which types and amounts of fibre are best suited for an individual's digestive system, potentially reducing bloating and improving gut health.

    We touch on how understanding individual responses to carbohydrates can inform the choice of grains and bread types, potentially aiding in managing blood sugar and energy levels.

    We chat too about genetic variations and some examples of how this can affect nutrient absorption, so tailoring bread to an individual's needs can ensure optimal intake of essential vitamins and minerals.

    Vanessa share some of the things she uses the Lifecode GX for in the way she approaches Bread in the way she designs loaves using Botanical Blend flour to address specific health needs, such as supporting mental well-being through folate intake or managing inflammation

    We explore moreIndividuals with polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene may benefit from increased folate intake, which can be enhanced through sourdough fermentation or the inclusion of folate-rich ingredients.

    Bread isn’t just food—it’s functional nourishment, and every ingredient in each blend of flour and the way you ferment your bread has a purpose.
