IT TAKES GUTS! ANXIETY DISORDERS UNIT LAUNCHES THE MOST GUT-FRIENDLY PIZZAS 

The Anxiety Disorders Residential Unit (ADRU) at the Bethlem Royal Hospital is now using flour developed by Dr. Vanessa Kimbell at The Sourdough School, incorporating our Hodmedods British-grown, botanically diverse flour. This initiative supports the unit’s mission to improve mental health through gut-friendly nutrition.

The Porter Phillips Pizzas

Professor David Veale, Consultant Psychiatrist at ADRU, describes the new pizzas as “probably the most gut-friendly pizzas ever.” Easy to make, these pizzas feature a high diversity of ingredients both in the dough and the toppings, promoting a rich gut microbiome. Inoculated with a probiotic lactobacillus topping, these pizzas not only nourish the body but also provide a perfect recipe for social interaction and mental well-being in the unit’s on-site café, GUTS.
