Nutrition 224 — Assessing Hormones in Clinical Practice II is a two-hour PACE nutrition CE webinar building on the foundational testing framework of Nutrition 223. This advanced installment moves into clinical management — examining how to properly assess hormone imbalances, support them naturally through targeted nutrition and supplementation, select the most reliable testing protocols, and critically evaluate hormone-related claims in the marketplace.
Instructor Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — President of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition — equips chiropractors with a complete clinical system for hormone assessment and natural management. Practitioners earn 2 CE hours toward license renewal.

How can chiropractors support hormone imbalances naturally?
Evidence-based natural approaches covered in Nutrition 224 include adaptogenic herbs (ashwagandha for cortisol regulation, Rhodiola for HPA axis support), nutritional cofactors (zinc for testosterone synthesis, magnesium for cortisol modulation, B6 for estrogen metabolism), and lifestyle interventions including sleep optimization and stress reduction protocols. These approaches are evaluated for clinical evidence strength, appropriate patient selection, and integration within chiropractic scope of practice.
What constitutes "fake science" in hormone testing and therapy?
Fake science in the hormone space typically involves anecdotal symptom-based dosing without lab confirmation, use of unregulated supplements with unsupported hormone-modulating claims, and misapplication of tests — such as relying on a single serum cortisol draw to assess adrenal function. Nutrition 224 gives practitioners a critical appraisal framework to evaluate the evidence quality behind hormone protocols and protect patients from ineffective or harmful interventions marketed as cutting-edge therapies.
How does Nutrition 224 build on Nutrition 223?
Nutrition 223 establishes the foundational science of hormone testing — what to test, how tests work, and how to interpret methodology. Nutrition 224 advances into clinical management: how to assess imbalance patterns systematically, how to design natural treatment protocols, how to select the right test for each clinical scenario, and how to evaluate evidence quality. Together the two courses provide a complete system for hormone assessment and management in chiropractic nutritional practice.
Is Nutrition 224 PACE-approved for chiropractic license renewal?
