Chronological age tells you when a patient was born. Biological age tells you what to do about it. CLHS 201 is the front door to Clinical Longevity & Healthspan Science: a two-hour, systems-biology introduction to why patients age at different rates and what a chiropractor can do about the drivers — mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic low-grade inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and a stressed neuroendocrine axis.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN, moves from reactive care to a proactive model: how to recognize the clinical patterns of accelerated aging, and which lifestyle and nutritional interventions have evidence behind them. Every later course in the series picks up one of the five pillars this one lays out. Start here.
Where This Course Fits — The Five CLHS Pillars
You are here: CLHS 201 — Series Introduction. This course spans all five pillars; every later CLHS course goes deep on one of them.
1. Neuromechanical Integrity
Spinal and joint mechanics, proprioception, balance and fall risk, and the evidence on manipulation across the lifespan.
2. Metabolic Efficiency
Muscle as a metabolic organ, nutrition for healthy aging, medication-induced nutrient depletion, and the lab markers worth watching.
3. Functional Movement
Strength, power and mobility programs that keep patients capable.
4. Sleep Hygiene
Sleep as a longevity lever: assessment, disruptors, and non-pharmacologic approaches within chiropractic scope.
5. Stress Adaptation
Autonomic resilience, the biology of stress, and the tools for measuring a patient's adaptive capacity.

What You'll Learn
- Mitochondrial & Cellular Health: Correlate mitochondrial dysfunction with chronic fatigue syndromes and metabolic resilience.
- Inflammaging & Immunity: Manage chronic low-grade inflammation and the burden of latent infections to support cognitive aging.
- Metabolic Longevity: Strategies for insulin resistance, sarcopenia prevention, and optimizing body composition for health span.
- Neuroendocrine Balance: Mastering HPA axis function, sleep metrics, and HRV as markers of physiologic resilience.

Credit, Reporting & State Rules
CLHS 201 is a 2-hour on-demand course, PACE-recognized and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College — the approval pathway most boards accept for online chiropractic CE. Its approval list renders at the bottom of this page, straight from the course record; that list is the one to trust.
Most boards cap the share of a renewal that can be earned online, and several classify nutrition, exercise and wellness coursework under a general or clinical category rather than a named one — check how your board counts it before relying on CLHS hours for a specific requirement.
Texas: licensees can verify provider status through the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners. For every other state and province, start at the CE guidelines directory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does CLHS 201 cover?
A two-hour, systems-biology introduction to Clinical Longevity & Healthspan Science for chiropractors: the biological drivers of aging — mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic low-grade inflammation, metabolic dysregulation and neuroendocrine stress — how to recognize their clinical patterns, and which lifestyle and nutritional interventions have evidence behind them. Also known as longevity medicine CE, healthspan CE, healthy-aging CE or functional-longevity CE.
Who teaches it, and is it for chiropractors?
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN, President of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition. The course is written for practicing chiropractors and stays inside chiropractic scope: assessment, lifestyle and nutritional strategy, and outcome measures a DC can run in the office. It is PACE-recognized and co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College.
Why does my patient seem to be aging faster than their years?
Because chronological age and biological age diverge. The course works through four drivers that push a patient ahead of the calendar — mitochondrial dysfunction showing up as fatigue and poor metabolic resilience, inflammaging and the burden of latent infection, insulin resistance and sarcopenia changing body composition, and an HPA axis under chronic load with the sleep and heart-rate-variability signatures that go with it — and how to read those patterns in a chiropractic exam.
How is the course delivered, and when do I get my certificate?
Recorded video you can watch on any device, with one year of access from purchase. Pass the short post-test and your certificate is available immediately. For states served by CE Broker, completion is reported automatically.
What should I take after CLHS 201?
Any pillar that fits your patients. 201 lays out all five — neuromechanical integrity, metabolic efficiency, functional movement, sleep hygiene and stress adaptation — and every later CLHS course picks one up in depth. The category page lists what is available now; new courses are added monthly as each live webinar is converted.
