Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

My guest today is the Chief Nutrition Officer at Simple app, and founder of Fertility Dietitian UK, Ro Huntress. Her background as an NHS dietitian where she specialised in diabetes and weight management has given her a wealth of insights into what really works and more importantly how to make necessary changes to your diet. I didn’t want to talk to Ro about just general nutrition, but more what she has noticed about the impact that ‘health tech’ such as the Simple app can have on our long term results and consistency. In this episode we talk about… What the data say about whether we should be weighing every day or a maximum of once a week Why time-restricted eating isn’t restrictive at all The staircase of weight loss What gets you started won’t keep you going The link between app engagement and consistency ...and a whole lot more. Ro is deeply knowledgeable about this topic and one of her other core areas of research and work is in the world of fertility where she her platform has become an indispensable tool for many couples trying to conceive.

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost. Today’s guest on the podcast is performance and resilience expert Charlie Cannon. Charlie is a coach, speaker and author who I truly admire for the way he blends his personal story with lessons and simple frameworks. I was keen to get him on the podcast because every time we speak we always end up having really interesting discussions so I’m delighted to bring you a flavour of some of that today. We talk about how to cultivate resilience through self-awareness and what it really means to be able to adapt to change. Charlie’s own story is fascinating and inspiring and I ask him about how his own perspectives have developed over time. With his background as a personal trainer we were always going to share similar philosophies around the connection between resilience, mindset and performance, and physical wellbeing. So it was good to swap stories and experiences of sharing these messages with people over a number of years. Our conversation takes us all over the place, including into the territory of values and purpose which to me are the foundation of resilience. Charlie has the kind of energy that you can really feel when you listen to him, so I know that today’s episode will give you a bit of a boost!

I hear a lot of people talking about the non-negotiables in their lives, usually habits around exercise or sleep or other areas of wellbeing that make a huge difference in their lives. And whilst I am clearly an advocate of having these routines, I don't personally have any 'non-negotiables' with any of them. I was asked what my non-negotiables were in a recent panel discussion at a wellbeing event, and figured why not share my thoughts on the topic here as well :) In this short episode I talk / ramble about: Why I don't have non-negotiables The difference between a STANDARD and a non-negotiable The importance of TOLERANCE Why our habits should SERVE you and not ENSLAVE you Why it's better to be DELAYED with your progress rather than DERAILED If you'd like to connect with me on LinkedIn where I post some of these musings through the week, it would be great to see you over there... https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachgeorgeanderson And if you have a corporate event coming up that you think could benefit from a bit of a boost, drop me a line and find out about my masterclasses and conference keynotes!…

Today I am delighted to welcome on the show co-founder of Huel and nutritionist of over 30 years, James Collier! James recently published his first book - Well Fed - which is a very different kind of nutrition book where he introduces the idea of Contemplative Nutrition. In our conversation today we get into the 5 pillars that underpin this food philosophy, and some of the challenges that I know clients of mine have struggled with over the years. One of the major challenges is the amount of conflicting and misinformation readily available, with social media influencers hard at work to earn their sponsorships, and just the vast number of different approaches you can take with nutrition. We talk about how to navigate this sea of information and decide what’s right for you and your family. One of my favourite things was discovering where the word ‘lunch’ comes from, and how our culture of 3 square meals a day is rarely questioned despite not always being optimal. Even the etymology of the word ‘culture’ comes up as James is a self-confessed word geek, and I promise you the links he makes are both fascinating and insightful. We talk about Huel itself, ultra processed foods, balance, mindful and intuitive eating and a whole lot more. Make sure you check out James’ book Well Fed and follow him on all the socials: Well Fed ( Amazon.co.uk ) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamescollierrnutr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamescollierrnutr…

Jim Rohn tells us that 'we are the average of the 5 people we spend most of our time with', so are you actively seeking out the 'right' kind of person to be around? If you have goals that require you to develop different habits, skills, beliefs or even sense of identity, then getting around other people who normalise these behaviours and beliefs is going to make it easier. People, communities, physical spaces and even your inner environment can be curated to help you stay on track with your goals. This episode looks at a few examples and I share some personal stories including how the episode topic was inspired by a conversation with Penny Mallory, a previous guest on this podcast from September 2022! I also mention LinkedIn in this episode and invite you to connect with me over there, which you can do so by visiting: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachgeorgeanderson…

I’m joined today by the chief operating officer at Genistar - one of the fastest growing financial services companies in the UK - Michael Cody. But you’re not going to hear us talking about financial services, or even his role as a COO, but you are going to hear about his incredible transformation over the last few years. At the end of 2020 Michael weighed over 32 stone - that’s 451 pounds or 204 kg and a BMI of over 60. Today he weighs under 18 stone, having lost - or as he puts it - ‘released’ - over 14 stone which is just about how much I weigh and I’m not particularly light. The real gold in this conversation isn’t the mechanics by which Michael achieved this, but the mindset he has adopted that has allowed him to be so consistent. We talk about identity and beliefs, the way you speak to yourself, self-compassion, being intentional, self-leadership and sovereignty, the importance of your environment, and designing systems into your life that allow you to succeed. Michael shares the impact that this has had on so many areas of his life, and of course I ask him about his energy and how he feels since adopting new habits and upgrading his life systems. This interview is packed with wisdom and inspiration and yes, some of the actual changes that Michael made in order to lose the weight but that really is secondary to the deeper inner work that I hope this inspires for you as well. You may not be on a weight loss journey but the principles of mindset changes when you embark on any major goal are relevant regardless of the context.…

Happy 2025! It's the time of year when a lot of people will be setting New Year resolutions, even though they have a spectacularly high failure rate! In this episode I discuss the difference between goals and resolutions (and why the confusion between the two is often partly to blame for the failure), and share some top tips for setting resolutions that stick. Some people say that you shouldn't need to wait for January to bring about change in your life but if it's done the right way it can be the perfect time for it! I'm looking forward to resuming regular episodes with interviews and more solo podcasts, and hopefully there'll be something in there to give you a bit of a boost.…

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost. I went to the National Sales Conference in June and one of the highlights for me was seeing Jim Steele delivering his keynote. Jim is described as a ‘holistic performance strategist’ and as soon as the conference ended I was straight over to invite him on the show! This conversation was a real treat for me as bounced around ideas for high performance, motivation and wellbeing, many of which are described in more detail in Jim’s book ‘Unashamedly Superhuman’. We talk about a wide range of topics including: The simple formula for performance - event plus response - outcome. The importance of active recovery and mental fitness. The link between our mindset and the conditions we find ourselves in, and the 4 quadrants of performance. Jim also explains what he means by ‘unashamedly superhuman, and shares some of his favourite tools that he uses personally as he strives towards this. There is a ton of great ideas and insights in this episode but if you’ve not had enough by the end of it make sure you check out Jim’s website hplab.co.uk , the book itself and some of the other resources and courses he offers.

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost. 10 years ago I was mid-way through running 10 marathons in 10 days and it felt fitting that I record an episode on the topic this week as I reflect on this challenge. There were 10 big lessons that I took away from this challenge that I recorded soon afterwards, and reading back over them recently made me realise how many of them I have ingrained into my life. This episode delves into each of these lessons and how they apply to a variety of different aspects of life beyond running or sports, and then as I went to upload the episode I realised that I did actually record a similar episode about 2.5 years ago! The one that seems to resonate in particular is 'you can only run the road that you're on', hence the name of this particular episode. So here we have it, my updated version, possibly with a few new reflections in case you're feeling short changed by having a repeat topic to listen to!…

Hello and welcome to A Bit Of A Boost with me, George Anderson I’m a wellbeing and performance coach, speaker and author and this podcast brings together guest experts, inspirational stories and ideas that I hope will you a bit of a boost. I’m delighted to welcome back to the show one of my favourite guests, David Robson who previously joined me back in February last year after I had read his book The Expectation Effect. I’ve just finished reading his latest book and I think you’ll find our conversation about it today both interesting and informative. The book is called The Laws Of Connection and is really a play book for how we can build deeper and more meaningful relationships with the people around us, and also some of the more unexpected benefits from doing so. David also unpacks some of the research that shows how we may be better at socialising than we may think, talking about phenomena such as the Liking Gap. Of course, I highly recommend you have a read of the book itself which is out this week, but in this podcast we get into several of the 13 strategies and learn many new things: how asking for help benefits you and the person you’re asking how to express gratitude and pay compliments effectively and why a strong social network even improves our ability to fight off illness. I think you’re going to enjoy this one, so get ready for a bit of a boost! The book is available on Amazon and all good book stores. Read more about David on his website here: https://davidrobson.me…
