Biochemical Optimization: Evidence-Based Nutritional Strategies for Healthy Aging

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 · 7:00–9:00 PM CT · with Dr. Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN. An evidence-based clinical nutrition CE program on the science of biochemical optimization — how chiropractors apply nutraceuticals, navigate drug-nutrient interactions, and evaluate emerging longevity therapies to support healthy aging, metabolic health, and patient resilience. Part of the Clinical Longevity & Healthspan Science (CLHS) curriculum.

Course Overview

Clinical nutrition and biochemical optimization for healthy aging — evidence-based nutraceuticals, chiropractic CE live webinar, CCEDseminars

Clinical nutrition is where longevity science meets everyday chiropractic practice — and where marketing hype most often outruns the evidence. This two-hour continuing education program explores the scientific principles of biochemical optimization and how chiropractors can apply evidence-based nutritional interventions to support healthy aging, metabolic health, musculoskeletal function, and patient resilience. Dr. Benedikt reviews the clinical evidence behind common nutraceuticals, examines drug-nutrient interactions seen in daily practice, and evaluates emerging compounds — from NAD+ precursors to peptide therapies — from a rigorous, evidence-first perspective. PACE-approved — FCLB Provider #34015544.

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.

What do the 2 CE hours cover?
Two hours of live instruction across five modules: foundations of biochemical optimization, evidence-based nutraceuticals, drug-nutrient interactions, emerging longevity therapies, and clinical integration. The session combines lecture, clinical case discussion, and evidence review. Course materials are included in your post-course notes inside your CCED account.

How do I get my CE certificate after the webinar?
Your certificate is generated and available for immediate printing inside your CCEDseminars account once attendance is verified. CE Broker and applicable state boards are auto-reported on your behalf.

Content, Credit & Suitability

Is this course evidence-based or is it longevity marketing?
Evidence-first, by design. A central theme of the course is distinguishing genuine clinical evidence from longevity marketing. Dr. Benedikt reviews the peer-reviewed literature behind each nutraceutical and emerging compound — including where the evidence is strong, where it is preliminary, and where popular claims outrun the data. Suggested references include the ISSN creatine position stand, López-Otín's Hallmarks of Aging, and current systematic reviews on NAD+ precursors, HMB, berberine, and peptide therapies.

Does this course count for my state CE, and is it PACE-approved?
Yes. The course is PACE-approved (FCLB Provider #34015544), which is honored by state chiropractic boards across the U.S., Canadian provinces, and internationally. Because state rules on subject matter and live-format hours vary, confirm your board's specific requirements before enrolling. CE Broker and applicable boards are auto-reported on your behalf.

Who is this course for?
Chiropractors, chiropractic students, chiropractic assistants, and other licensed healthcare professionals (where applicable) who want a rigorous, clinically applicable grounding in nutrition for healthy aging. No prior nutrition certification is required — the material is built to be actionable in general chiropractic practice.

What are these CE hours called in different states?
Chiropractors searching for these hours may call them CE, CEUs, continuing education, license renewal hours, post-graduate credits, nutrition hours, or PACE-approved courses. All refer to the same PACE-recognized continuing education used toward license renewal.
