The Sourdough Club uses the BALM (Baking as Lifestyle Medicine) protocol which offers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to baking and as part of the dietary intervention studies Dr Kimbell noticed that several of the people participating ion the study lost unwanted pounds.
In this feature below we examine why this might be, and how, by integrating the principles of lifestyle medicine, BALM promotes a healthy diet and supports weight management in several key ways. This protocol not only focuses on the nutritional aspects of baking but also incorporates lifestyle changes that have been proven to enhance overall health and well-being as Lifestyle Medicine.
By using the BALM protocol our recipes and approach offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to addressing obesity through the process of baking and learning about bread. By focusing on satiety, nutrient density, gut health, inflammation reduction, blood sugar management, and sustainable lifestyle changes, the BALM protocol provides a powerful tool for promoting weight management and overall health.
Through the integration of these evidence-based principles, the BALM protocol transforms the act of baking into a meaningful and therapeutic activity that supports both physical and mental well-being. By joining the Sourdough Club, individuals can discover the transformative power of baking as lifestyle medicine and take a proactive approach to improving their health and preventing obesity-related complications.
