Podcast Intro SpotlightMeet the voices joining us in this episode: Jo Feakes — a trusted, fully qualified Nutritional Therapist based in the UK, with over a decade of clinical knowledge. Jo empowers clients with real food, personalised science, and a warm, practical approach to health.   David Wright, The Breaducator — a third-generation baker, academic, and author of Breaking Bread: How Baking Shaped Our World. His words remind us that bread is never just bread—it carries values, history, and the power to define what we stand for. Mike Key, known for Eating Your Environment, who’s lived—and eaten—radically by traversing Iceland on a traditional Inuit diet. His experience brings a profound, environmental lens to how we nourish our bodies. Our Proven Bread Students, shining human stories in this journey:  Lucy, whose life changed at a dinner table simply by tasting bread with soul — she felt unquenchable desire to learn to make it with intention. Jenny, who gifted us with rose-petal vinegar, and shared how her own hands and heart became part of the bread’s living story. These voices frame a conversation that isn’t just about food—it’s about health, story, activism, and connection.

Bread as Activism, Connection & Change In this episode, Dr. Vanessa Kimbell is joined by The Breaducator David Wright, nutritionist Jo Feakes, and adventurer Mike Key (Eating Your Environment), alongside Proven Bread students Lucy and Jenny. Together, they explore bread as a living act of values, health, and community — from 30-ingredient, fibre-rich loaves to Inuit diets, regenerative farming, and the quiet power of “delicious defiance.”
