🎄 Healthy Habits: The Joy of Being Social 🎄

The Christmas season is here — a time for connection, laughter, and spending time with the people who make life brighter. ✨

This week in our Healthy Habits series, we’re talking about being social — because looking after your mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as caring for your physical health.

Socialising helps reduce stress, boosts mood, and builds a sense of belonging and support. 💬💚

Did you know that Burwood Health runs a Wellbeing Wednesday Group?
It’s a welcoming space for like-minded people to come together, share ideas, and talk about a range of Healthy Habit topics (and a few fun extras too!) — all guided by our Health Coach, Lauren. 🌿

If you’d like to learn more or get involved, book a FREE appointment with Lauren. She’s available Monday to Thursday and can help you build connections and strengthen your wellbeing this festive season and beyond.

Let’s make this Christmas a time for health, happiness, and community. 💫

🌿 Our Healthy Habits Series is Back! 🌿

We’re excited to bring back our Healthy Habits series — and today, we’re talking about one of the most important foundations of good health: exercise and staying active! 💪

Regular physical activity isn’t just about fitness — it helps boost your mood, improve sleep, reduce stress, and lower the risk of many chronic health conditions. Even small steps, like walking the dog, gardening, or stretching between tasks, can make a big difference to your wellbeing. 🚶‍♀️🌞

If you’d like some extra support getting started (or back on track!) with exercise or other healthy habits, you can book a FREE appointment with our Health Coach, Lauren.
Lauren is available Monday to Thursday and can help you set realistic goals and create an activity plan that fits your lifestyle.

💚 Take the first step towards a healthier, more active you — book your free session today!

✈️ Travel plans coming up? Don’t forget your travel vaccines! 🌏

If you’re heading overseas, it’s important to make sure your vaccinations are up to date — and that any required travel vaccines are arranged well before you fly. 💉

Some vaccines require multiple doses or take a few weeks to provide full protection, so getting in early means one less thing on your to-do list before your holiday! 🏖️

✅ Be prepared
✅ Stay healthy while you travel

Book your appointment with our nurse team and travel safe knowing you’re protected wherever your next adventure takes you. 🌍
