You may already have a physician, dentist, counsellor or another clinician involved in your care. Adding complementary support can begin with a simple question: what would help you manage everyday life, and how would that support fit with the care you already receive?
The NCCIH explanation of complementary and integrative health describes complementary approaches as being used alongside conventional medicine, with integrative care emphasizing coordination. A practical plan makes each practitioner’s role clear and keeps you involved in decisions.
For example, you might continue medical treatment while exploring support for a bedtime routine, stress-regulation practice or an agreed habit-change goal. The purpose, likely benefits, limitations and review point should be discussed before you decide how to proceed.
You work directly with Andrew Maillet, ND, DO, whose practice includes clinical hypnotherapy, naturopathic guidance and HRV biofeedback where appropriate. His osteopathic care focuses on TMJ and jaw concerns. Andrew draws on more than 20 years of hypnotherapy experience, with the approach and pace discussed around your goals.
An initial conversation explores what you would like help with, your relevant health history and the care you already receive. You can ask which parts of your concern fit the practice, what sessions involve and whether another provider should be involved.
Bring an up-to-date list of prescription medicines, non-prescription products and supplements, including how you use them. NCCIH’s communication guidance explains why keeping providers informed matters when medicines and supplements may interact. Medication changes belong with your prescribing professional.
Tell Andrew about recommendations from your other providers and ask what information would help them understand your plan here. Any sharing of personal health information should be discussed with you.
Before starting, ask what evidence supports the proposed approach for your concern, what risks or costs to consider and how progress will be reviewed. The NCCIH decision guide encourages informed choices and advises against delaying needed conventional care.
Review whether the plan remains useful and manageable. You can discuss continuing, changing the approach or seeking another assessment as your needs develop.

During an intense television programme or a demanding workday, you may find yourself reaching for a snack. Noticing these moments can help you understand your routines without blaming yourself.
Food is one part of everyday life. Consider what makes regular, varied meals easier to fit into your routine.
Canada’s Food Guide encourages a varied eating pattern that includes vegetables and fruit, whole grains and protein foods, with water as the usual drink.
The guide also encourages paying attention to your eating habits, making time for meals, and noticing hunger and fullness. One manageable starting point might be planning a snack for a busy afternoon or sitting down to eat without rushing.
Bring questions about your eating routines, sleep and stress to your appointment. Persistent, unexplained or concerning symptoms should be discussed with an appropriate medical provider.
Enjoyment, food preferences, culture and your budget matter too. Start with a practical change that fits your circumstances, then review what is manageable.
For support with stress, sleep or everyday eating routines, you can book an initial naturopathic consultation with Andrew Maillet, ND, DO.
What if you could slow some of the visible effects of time and enjoy looking and feeling younger for longer? It’s less complicated than the anti-aging industry makes it sound. Much of how we age is shaped by a handful of daily habits — and three of them do a surprising amount of the work.
The link between smoking and skin aging has been recognized for well over a century, and it shows in chronic smokers: premature lines around the eyes and mouth, dry and leathery texture, a grey pallor, and a generally tired appearance. Wrinkles are a natural part of aging — smoking simply accelerates them.
The mechanisms are well understood. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, restricting the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, and its diuretic effect dehydrates skin tissue. Carbon monoxide binds to blood cells more readily than oxygen does, further reducing oxygen delivery. Cigarette smoke is also loaded with free radicals that damage healthy tissue, and smoking depletes vitamin A and collagen — two of the raw materials skin uses to repair and renew itself.
Quitting is hard precisely because smoking is a habit loop woven into stress regulation, not a simple choice. If you’ve tried before and it hasn’t stuck, support that addresses cravings and the stress patterns underneath can make the difference — clinical hypnotherapy is one approach used for exactly this, described on our hypnotherapy page.
Straightening your posture and drawing your shoulders back changes both how you look and how you feel. Good posture reads as leaner, taller, more confident, and more energetic — and the benefits aren’t only cosmetic. Proper alignment positions muscles, joints, and organs where they work best, reduces the likelihood of back and neck pain, and lowers the everyday strain that leads to fatigue and headaches.
Daily stretching, regular exercise, and simply practising upright positioning build the strength that keeps the body comfortably tall. If tension or old habits make good posture feel impossible to hold, a movement assessment can identify what’s actually restricting you.
Long-term research on couples has associated regular intimacy with a more youthful appearance — likely connected to oxytocin, a stress-relieving hormone, and to the better sleep that follows. The broader principle holds for everyone: connection, affection, and consistent restorative sleep are among the most underrated anti-aging habits there are. Stress hormones age us; the states that counter them — closeness, calm, and deep rest — visibly help.
There are plenty of other lifestyle choices that support healthy aging — sun protection and nutrition high among them — but these three fundamentals are a strong place to start.
