Chiropractic treats the musculoskeletal system — nutrition is the terrain that system heals on. Inflammation, tissue repair, bone metabolism, the gut-brain axis, the stress response: every one runs on what the patient eats, absorbs, and metabolizes. This is the second-largest clinical library in our catalog — 68 courses and 136 hours — covering the microbiome and GI health, nutritional management of musculoskeletal and autoimmune conditions, brain health and mood, hormones and thyroid assessment, immune support, and women's health.

Every course is authored by Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — a Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition — one board-certified nutritionist's complete teaching library. And inside the category sits a credential: Nutrition 201–224 form the 48-hour Clinical Nutrition Certification (CNC) track, available as a single bundle — details on the certification programs page.

Choose Your Nutrition Path — Three Lanes, One Curriculum

Sixty-eight courses organize into three working lanes — the gut, the brain, and the conditions you already treat. Representative courses below; the full catalog lives in the grid at the bottom of this page.

1 · Gut, Microbiome & Digestion

The system in the hero image — where imbalance starts and where systemic inflammation is won or lost.

201: Intro to Clinical Nutrition · 207: Microbiota & the Musculoskeletal System · 213–214: GI Disease & the Integrative Approach · 221: The Gut/Brain Connection · 225: Functional Medicine Testing for GI Disturbances · 248: Digestion & Absorption · 230: Diet & Chronic Disease

2 · Brain, Mood & Stress

Nutritional neurology — food, mood, memory, and the stress physiology your patients carry through the door.

211–212, 264: Brain Health & Food Impact · 218–219: Nutrition & Mood I–II · 233: Memory, Dementia & Chiropractic Care · 204, 253–254, 263: The Stress Series · 234, 247: Optimal Nervous System Function · 251: Autonomic Regulation · 240: Nutritional Management of Concussions

3 · Musculoskeletal, Hormonal & Clinical Conditions

Nutritional management layered onto what you already treat — joints, bone, immune, hormones, and the fatigued patient.

202, 220, 255: Arthritic & Autoimmune Disease · 227, 238, 257: Vitamin D, Osteoporosis & Bone Health · 243, 266: Joints, Tendons & Inflammation · 229, 256: Sports Injury Nutrition · 222–224: Thyroid & Hormone Assessment · 226, 231, 262: Women's Health · 209, 241, 246: Immune Support · 206, 250, 265, 269: Neuropathy · 228, 244: The Fatigued Patient

New nutrition courses are added as Dr. Benedikt releases them — the course grid below always shows the current catalog.

What You'll Learn

• Clinical nutrition assessment and reasoning — from intake and functional testing through thyroid and hormone evaluation.

• The gut-brain-musculoskeletal axis: microbiome health, digestion and absorption, and how GI imbalance drives the systemic inflammation you palpate every day.

• Nutritional management of the conditions in your schedule — arthritis and autoimmune disease, osteoporosis, neuropathy, sports injuries, concussion, and the chronically fatigued patient.

• Patient counseling and supplementation concepts that are safe, evidence-informed, and documented in a way that supports adherence and communicates with co-managing providers.

Your Nutrition Faculty

Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN — Diplomate of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition — authors all 68 courses in this category and the CNC certification track at its core. The library reads as one clinician-nutritionist's complete teaching practice: consistent method from the intro course through functional GI testing, hormone assessment, and condition-by-condition nutritional management. Dr. Benedikt also teaches osteoporosis and aging & longevity in our geriatrics category and the vagus nerve course in neurology — the same physiology, followed across the catalog.

Where Nutrition Hours Count — State Rules Worth Knowing

Nutrition coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, clinical reasoning, and nutritional management of patient conditions — which serves the clinical-hour structures many states impose: Iowa's 36-hour clinical case-management minimum, Rhode Island's 50-of-60 clinical requirement, and Vermont's clinical-focus rule, where patient-care education like this counts fully.

Online-format allowances vary by jurisdiction — some states accept all hours online, others cap or condition distance learning. Check your state's guide in the full state directory before building your renewal plan.

Every course is 2 hours at $40, and the automatic discounts stack: three courses (6 hours) earns 10% off, five or more (10+ hours) earns 20% off — a full lane or your whole renewal cycle from one category.

Chiropractic Nutrition CE — Frequently Asked Questions

What are chiropractic nutrition CE courses?

Online continuing education in clinical nutrition for chiropractors, taught by a board-certified clinical nutritionist: gut health and the microbiome, inflammation and musculoskeletal conditions, brain health and mood, stress physiology, hormones and thyroid assessment, immune support, women's health, and nutritional management of conditions from neuropathy to osteoporosis. Courses run 2 CE hours each, on-demand, with an assessment and instant certificate.

Which nutrition course should I take first?

Intro to Clinical Nutrition (201) is the designed entry point. From there, follow your caseload: the gut and microbiome lane for digestive and systemic-inflammation work, the brain-mood-stress lane for the patients carrying modern life in their physiology, or the clinical-conditions lane to add nutritional management to what you already treat. The pathway map above shows representative courses in each lane.

What is the CNC certification bundle?

Clinical Nutrition Certification (CNC) is a 48-hour certification track composed of Nutrition 201–224, taught by Howard Benedikt, DC, DCBCN, and available as a single $960 bundle. It packages the clinical-nutrition foundation — from intro principles through GI, hormones, and thyroid assessment — into one credential pathway; full details on the certification programs page.

Do nutrition hours count as clinical CE for my state?

Nutrition coursework is clinical subject matter — assessment, clinical reasoning, and nutritional management of patient conditions — which serves clinical-hour minimums like Iowa's 36-hour clinical case-management requirement and Rhode Island's 50-of-60 rule, and clinical-focus standards like Vermont's. Online-format allowances still vary by jurisdiction; verify your state's online rules in its guide before registering.

How do discounts and certificates work?

Courses are $20 per credit hour, and discounts apply automatically in a single order — 10% off at 6–9 hours, 20% off at 10 or more. The CNC bundle (Nutrition 201–224, 48 hours) is a single $960 checkout. Each completion generates an instant PDF certificate with a permanent copy in your account dashboard. No promo codes.
