Dr. Alex George has swapped hospital corridors for fragrant broths and fresh herbs, teaming up with Vietnamese-inspired restaurant group Pho in a punchy new wellness collaboration that puts health back on the menu—literally.
The health expert, best-selling author, and mental health advocate is fronting a summer-long partnership designed to highlight the benefits of Pho’s signature bone broth dishes, launching his personal “go-to Pho order” in restaurants across the UK and on Deliveroo.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t some limp lettuce wellness gimmick. Dr. Alex George’s chosen trio—Chicken Pho, Mango Salad, and an Apple, Mint & Lime Juice—comes steaming with substance, built around Pho’s twelve-hour bone broth, which simmers like a pot of nutritional gold.
“Pho has been a go-to for me for years,” says George. “It’s always fresh, packed with flavour, and there’s so much choice. Naturally, my favourite is their Pho made with 12-hour slow-cooked bone broth, which really is liquid gold. It’s rich in protein, supports gut health, and is a natural source of collagen. I’m super excited to partner with Pho to showcase a menu that tastes incredible while supporting your wellbeing.”
And he’s not kidding. Bone broth has made a roaring comeback in the nutritional world, and not just as a buzzword. Packed with amino acids, collagen, gelatin, and protein, Pho’s brothy base supports everything from joint repair to muscle recovery and glowing skin—all while tasting like something your nan would make if she spent a decade in Hanoi.
Dr. Alex George isn’t just slapping his name on a dish and heading for the beach, either. His wellness-first philosophy is infused throughout this collaboration, which celebrates Vietnamese food’s holistic balance of carbs, lean protein, and fresh herbs. The Mango Salad brings brightness and crunch, while the juice ties it together with a zing sharp enough to wake up your gut flora.
Phở—the national dish of Vietnam and the heart of Pho’s menu—is no stranger to comfort food status, but this seasonal spotlight elevates it into the realm of functional eating. As Dr. Alex puts it, the combination of slow-simmered stock and fresh ingredients is “the ultimate summer fuel.”
Dr. Alex George’s go-to Pho order is available from Tuesday, 22 July in all Pho restaurants across the UK and via Deliveroo—but only for a limited time.
So, if you’re craving something comforting, hydrating, and quietly working wonders on your joints and skin, now’s the time to slurp with purpose.
