LIFECODE GX SPONSORS HEALTHCARE SCHOLARSHIPS WITH THE SOURDOUGH SCHOOL
We first met Dr Vanessa Kimbell five years ago through Dr Annie Elliot, when she had her genetics tested with us. Since then, she’s trained as a nutrigenetics practitioner and now integrates Lifecode GX testing across all her teaching.
This is the science of nutrigenetics brought to life — using bread as a personalised nutritional intervention, designing formulas that address individual genetic variations and nutrient needs. Dr Kimbell shows how fermentation, fibre and botanical diversity can support gene expression, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term health — biohacking bread in the truest sense.
We’re delighted to be providing Lifecode GX testing for all her students, and to announce our sponsorship of six Healthcare Professional Scholarships for the Annie Elliot Award on her flagship Diploma in Baking as Lifestyle Medicine at The Sourdough School.
The Diploma connects genetics, gut health, and the bioavailability of micronutrients with soil and environment — translating complex science into everyday clinical and culinary practice.
At Lifecode GX, our values align closely with Dr Kimbell’s. We believe in food first: while supplements have their place, Vanessa reminds us that much of what our bodies — and our genes — need can be met through thoughtful, diverse, and nutrient-rich food.
If you’re a healthcare professional and would like to apply, send a direct message and we’ll share the link. The Diploma begins 6 January, and applications close 25 November. Each scholarship awards a £2,000 enrolment fee waiver, with recipients paying only £59 per month to study.
