My 2022 Lessons + Switching Off for the Holidays

Hello to my inspiring community,

2022 – you were certainly a biggie… but we made it!

Well done on everything you have managed to achieve and complete in 2022.

There is no doubt many of us found 2022 to be a heavier, more challenging year – the hangover from the pandemic was real and exhausting for so many.

My Favourite Foodie Spots in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs

Everyone who knows me knows how much I occasionally love enjoying a soul nourishing meal at a cafe or restaurant with Dean, my family or friends. I truly adore preparing meals at home or making my go-to breakfast and lunches during the week in the JSHealth office, however it’s also part of my balanced lifestyle to dine (sometimes with wine!) out.

The holiday season is the ideal time to try a new brunch spot or dinner destination, so I’m sharing my foodie favourites – Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs edition!

Bunch/Brunch Spots:

  • Harry’s (Bondi) – Perfect to stroll to after doing the Bronte to Bondi coastal walk.
  • Dunbar House (Watson’s Bay) – Simply the most beautiful setting in my neighbourhood.
  • Rocco’s (Vaucluse) – For coffee and croissants when I’m feeling the French breakfast vibes.

What is sepsis?

Sepsis is a potentially life-threatening and life-altering system response to infection, Dr. Guy explains. “It causes an exaggerated immune response that can end up damaging key organs like the heart, lungs and kidneys, and potentially lead to death.”

He compares sepsis to an ember that sparks from a small campfire, suddenly threatening the whole forest. If it isn’t treated early, sepsis can progress into septic shock. Patients may need medications to support their blood pressure and a ventilator to breathe. “Their kidneys are at risk, and they could go into kidney failure and need dialysis,” says Dr. Guy. “These are the folks who are at highest risk of losing their lives.”

Sepsis can affect anyone, but taking action to reduce the risk of infection can help prevent sepsis before symptoms begin.

Sepsis is more common than one might think. It can happen in response to any kind
