The gut microbiome is not a background system — it is a central driver of chronic disease. For chiropractors treating patients with obesity, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and persistent inflammation, understanding advanced gastrointestinal pathophysiology is a clinical imperative. Nutrition 214: An Integrative Approach to Gastrointestinal Disease II delivers the next level of clinical mastery, building directly on Nutrition 213 with deeper protocols and expanded science.
Led by Dr. Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — Board-Certified Chiropractic Clinical Nutritionist with 46+ years of clinical expertise — this 2-hour advanced CE course goes further into microbiome complexity, the gut-joint axis, advanced SIBO treatment protocols, and the immune system's role in systemic chronic disease. This is the course that moves clinical nutrition from foundational to expert-level practice.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN is a Board-Certified Chiropractic Clinical Nutritionist, Executive Member of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition (CBCN) under the ACA, and Lead Clinical Nutrition Faculty at CCEDseminars.

What does Nutrition 214 cover that Nutrition 213 does not?
Nutrition 214 advances beyond GI fundamentals into deeper microbiome complexity, the gut-joint axis, and immune system interaction with chronic diseases including obesity, arthritis, and autoimmune disorders — plus advanced SIBO treatment protocols and GERD management not covered in the first course.
How does gut function contribute to chronic diseases like obesity and arthritis?
An imbalanced gut microbiome drives systemic inflammation that contributes to metabolic dysfunction in obesity and joint degradation in arthritis and autoimmune conditions. Addressing the gut-joint axis equips chiropractors to move beyond symptomatic care into root-cause clinical management.
What advanced SIBO protocols are covered in this course?
Dr. Benedikt covers antimicrobial and nutraceutical strategies, dietary modifications specific to hydrogen versus methane-dominant SIBO, biofilm disruption approaches, and intestinal motility restoration — clinical tools that move well beyond basic SIBO identification into actionable patient management.
Is Nutrition 214 PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal?
