An Overview of the Key Learning Objectives of this Module

By participating in this course you will become an Activist. You will:

  1. Learn how mass produced, poor quality bread and baked goods negatively impact health.
  2. Understand the mechanisms of how long, slow fermentation transforms your bread and discover how The Sourdough School Bread protocol resulted in significant positive benefits to both the gut microbiome and mental health..
  3. Bake the knowledge. Each week throughout the course, you will apply the scientific reading from the syllabus to make your bread and accompanying recipes.
  4. Gain a unique insight into the impact of the Bread Protocol on your gut microbiome and physical and mental health.  You will test your biome at the beginning of the course and again in late January; when you get your results back you will have a feedback session with the Research and Medical Directors and discover how you have responded.
  5. Appraise Sourdough School Case studies that demonstrate improvement of physical and mental health outcomes.
  6. Apply the knowledge & change your clinical practice: medical professionals may apply for a practitioner’s license on completion of the course, which will enable them to socially prescribe any of The Sourdough School prescription courses to their patients.
  7. Positively impact community health: our prescription courses are about sharing bread. The bake two, share one principle encourages people to connect to each other and this helps alleviate loneliness and social isolation.
  8. Understand that baking is activism.
  9. Create and share a case study & a bread formula or cake recipe that applies and demonstrates clear application and understanding of baking according to the Sourdough School Bread Protocol as a lifestyle medicine.
  10. Inspire the next generation by mentoring a 16 – 24 year old.
  11. Bread as Activism
