Nutrition 215 — Antioxidants in Health and Disease is a two-hour PACE nutrition CE webinar on how antioxidants affect health and contribute to disease. Grounded in free-radical pathology, oxidative stress chiropractic research, and ROS cellular physiology, the course prepares clinicians to advise patients on dietary antioxidants, supplemental risks, and cellular mechanisms linked to chronic disease.
Instructor Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN connects Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in cellular physiology and genetic makeup to real clinical decisions. Chiropractors earn 2 CE hours toward license renewal and leave ready to integrate antioxidant science into nutrition practice.
Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN is a Board-Certified Chiropractic Clinical Nutritionist, 46+ years in practice, M.S. Human Nutrition CW Post/LIU, and Lead Clinical Nutrition Faculty at CCEDseminars. He delivers PACE- and board-approved curricula via Texas Chiropractic College, holds adjunct positions at New York Chiropractic College and Berkeley College NY, and practices in midtown Manhattan.
What is free-radical pathology and why should chiropractors understand it?
Free-radical pathology describes cellular damage caused by unstable molecules that trigger oxidative chain reactions. Chiropractors who grasp this mechanism can link it to chronic inflammation, musculoskeletal degeneration, and systemic disease — enabling targeted nutritional recommendations within their scope of practice.
How do antioxidants in food compare to antioxidant supplements for patient outcomes?
Dietary antioxidants arrive with cofactors and phytonutrients that enhance bioavailability, making food sources safer long-term. Supplemental forms reach higher concentrations but can disrupt redox signaling. Nutrition 215 examines both so practitioners can provide evidence-based guidance rather than blanket supplement recommendations.
What are the dangers of antioxidant supplementation covered in Nutrition 215?
The course addresses pro-oxidant effects at high doses, interference with ROS signaling essential for immune function and cellular repair, masking of early disease indicators, and interactions with common medications. Practitioners learn to counsel patients responsibly and avoid harmful supplementation regimens.
Is Nutrition 215 PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal?
Yes. Nutrition 215 is PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal in most U.S. states. Visit the CCEDseminars State CE Guidelines page to confirm your state or region's requirements before enrolling.
