Muscle as Medicine: Strength Training & Healthspan
Tuesday, July 28, 2026 · 7:00–9:00 PM CT · with Dr. Arland J. Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN. A defensible, evidence-based framework for screening sarcopenia, prescribing resistance training, and dosing dietary protein for adults 50 and older.
 | Course OverviewSkeletal muscle is the largest endocrine organ in the body and one of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality. This live webinar gives chiropractors a defensible, evidence-based framework for screening sarcopenia, prescribing resistance training, and dosing dietary protein for adults 50 and older. Grip strength and VO?max as defensible mortality biomarkers chair-side Resistance-training prescription parameters for adults 50+ Protein dosing and the per-meal leucine threshold for muscle protein synthesis Chiropractic scope, workflow integration, and defensible documentation |
Approval & Renewal Facts at a Glance
According to the official FCLB PACE Provider Search, CCEDseminars is recognized as PACE. Texas chiropractors should confirm the 6-hour live and 10-hour online split published in the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners CE rules. CE Broker & PACE auto-reporting is performed by CCEDseminars automatically per course completion per Propelus CE Broker licensee policy.
Your Instructor — Dr. Arland J. Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN
 | Dr. Arland J. Hill is Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research Corporation. He lectured at Texas A&M College of Medicine from 2009 to 2024 and presents nationally for the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). He maintains an active clinical practice at Genesis Wellness Center in Hillister, Texas. His teaching translates current research in sarcopenia, anabolic resistance, myokine biology, and protein dosing into defensible, evidence-based protocols chiropractors can integrate within scope. |
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this 2-hour live webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Explain why skeletal muscle is considered the largest endocrine organ in the body and how this reframes its role in chiropractic patient care.
- Identify four chair-side sarcopenia screening tools (SARC-F, grip dynamometry, 5x sit-to-stand, gait speed) with cut-off thresholds and documentation language.
- Apply evidence-based resistance-training prescription parameters (2 sessions/week, 6–12 reps, 50–85% 1RM) for adults 50 and older within chiropractic scope.
- Integrate protein dosing (1.2–1.6 g/kg/day) and the per-meal leucine threshold (~2.5–3.0 g) with exercise prescription to overcome anabolic resistance.
Course Outline
Hour 1 — The Biology Case for Muscle as Medicine
- Sarcopenia as a primary driver of all-cause mortality — EWGSOP2 consensus framework
- Skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ — myokines: IL-6, irisin, BDNF, and their systemic effects
- VO?max and grip strength as defensible biomarkers
- Mitochondrial density and the bioenergetics of aging muscle
- Anabolic resistance and what it means for protein prescription after 50
Hour 2 — Prescription, Screening, and Chiropractic Workflow
- Resistance-training prescription: 2 sessions/week, 6–12 reps, 50–85% 1RM, multi-joint compound focus
- Chair-side sarcopenia screening tools: SARC-F, grip dynamometry, 5x sit-to-stand, gait speed
- The leucine threshold (~2.5–3.0 g/meal) and daily protein target (1.2–1.6 g/kg/day)
- Chiropractic scope, intake-form integration, and defensible documentation language
- Patient communication scripts and referral patterns when training exceeds chiropractic scope

About This Webinar
+ Is this webinar live, and does it count as live CE for chiropractic license renewal?
Yes. This is a live, synchronous 2-hour PACE-approved webinar on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 from 7–9 PM Central Time. Attendance during the live broadcast is required to earn the 2 live CE hours. Live participation is what the broadcast certifies — no replay credit is awarded. CCEDseminars is FCLB PACE Provider #34015544.
+ What clinical screening tools for sarcopenia will I learn to apply?
Dr. Hill covers four chair-side screening tools chiropractors can implement immediately: the SARC-F questionnaire, handheld grip dynamometry, the 5-times sit-to-stand test, and gait-speed measurement. Each tool is presented with cut-off thresholds and defensible documentation language. Framework anchored in the EWGSOP2 sarcopenia consensus.
+ What resistance-training prescription parameters does the course cover for adults 50 and older?
The course teaches the evidence-based prescription: 2 sessions per week, 6–12 repetitions per set, loads at 50–85% of one-rep max, multi-joint compound movements prioritized, with progressive overload. Dr. Hill walks through how to communicate this prescription within chiropractic scope and document it in the patient record. Parameters align with ACSM guidance on strength training for older adults.
+ What is the protein and leucine target for muscle protein synthesis in older adults?
The course teaches a daily protein target of 1.2–1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight, distributed across meals to hit the leucine threshold of approximately 2.5–3.0 grams of leucine per meal. Dr. Hill explains anabolic resistance in aging adults and why the per-meal leucine threshold matters more than the daily total for muscle protein synthesis.
Longevity-Specialty CE & State Renewal
+ How do these 2 Longevity-Specialty CE hours count toward state license renewal?
These 2 live PACE CE hours satisfy general continuing education requirements in every state that recognizes FCLB PACE. PACE-recognized states accept these hours toward the general/clinical CE portion of biennial or annual chiropractic license renewal. Texas chiropractors: these hours count toward the 16-hour annual requirement published by the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners (6 live/webinar + 10 online split applies). Always verify your state's specific allocation rules.
+ Does CCEDseminars auto-report my CE hours to CE Broker?
Yes. CCEDseminars auto-reports completed CE hours to Propelus CE Broker for licensees in CE-Broker-mandated states (Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, West Virginia, Ohio, and the District of Columbia). Reporting occurs within 24–48 hours of course completion. Your certificate is also available in your account immediately after attendance is verified.
+ How does this Muscle as Medicine webinar compare to other longevity and healthspan CE options for chiropractors?
Other longevity and healthspan CE options in the field tend to focus on supplement protocols, hormone optimization, or general anti-aging frameworks that are not always PACE-approved for chiropractic state CE renewal. Muscle as Medicine is built specifically for licensed chiropractors: it stays within chiropractic scope, delivers PACE-approved hours, and gives chiropractors a defensible, evidence-based resistance-training and protein-dosing framework with state-board-aligned documentation language.
+ What are these hours called and how do chiropractors search for them?
Texas and US chiropractors searching for these hours may call them CE, CEUs, continuing education, license renewal hours, post-graduate credits, PACE-approved courses, or longevity-specialty CE. All terms refer to the same FCLB-PACE-recognized continuing education required for biennial or annual chiropractic license renewal.
+ What technology do I need to attend the live webinar?
Any modern desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a stable broadband internet connection works. The webinar runs in your browser — no app install required. Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox (updated to a current version) all work. Course materials and the post-completion summary are included in notes accessible from your CCEDseminars account.
