Course Overview

Chronic stress is one of the most significant drivers of inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, poor recovery, immune dysregulation, accelerated aging, and chronic disease. This evidence-informed continuing education program examines the relationship between stress physiology, autonomic nervous system regulation, vagal tone, heart rate variability, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions. Dr. Benedikt translates the research into functional clinical strategies chiropractors can integrate into practice. PACE-approved — FCLB Provider #34015544.

Course Outline

Hour 1 — Stress Physiology & Autonomic Regulation

  • The stress response: HPA axis, sympathetic activation, and the physiology of allostatic load
  • Chronic stress and its effects on inflammation, immune dysregulation, recovery, and accelerated aging
  • The autonomic nervous system: sympathetic-parasympathetic balance and why it matters clinically
  • Vagal tone and heart rate variability (HRV) as clinical markers of autonomic resilience
  • Clinical signs and symptoms of autonomic dysregulation — what to look for in practice

Hour 2 — Nutritional & Lifestyle Interventions for Autonomic Resilience

  • Nutritional factors that influence stress resilience: micronutrients, adaptogens, anti-inflammatory protocols
  • Evidence supporting breathing exercises, mindfulness practices, and Tai Chi for autonomic regulation
  • Practical clinical strategies for improving autonomic balance and measurable patient outcomes
  • Behavior-change principles: improving compliance, building sustainable habits, and long-term success
  • Integrating stress-resilience protocols into the chiropractic visit workflow
  • Case examples + live Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions

About This Webinar

Do I need to attend live to earn the 2 CE hours?

Yes. Live broadcast attendance is required for the full 2 CE hours. CCEDseminars does not offer replay credit for live webinars; the live format is what qualifies the credit under PACE and state-board live-CE rules.

What format is the webinar and what device do I need?

The webinar is delivered via secure live video stream. You can join from any modern desktop, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection. No special software install is required — the link opens in your browser.

Is this a nutrition-only course?

No. Nutrition is one pillar of a broader framework. The course covers stress physiology, autonomic nervous system regulation, vagal tone, HRV, and lifestyle interventions (breathing, mindfulness, Tai Chi) alongside nutritional strategies. The goal is a complete clinical toolkit for autonomic resilience, not a nutrient list.

How do I get my CE certificate after the webinar?
