In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Michael Whitehouse discuss:
- Knowing your networking goal and why you’re there
- Focusing on providing value, not just selling
- Differentiating yourself from the competition
- Identifying upstream referral partners, not just customers
- Building relationships before trying to make sales
Key Takeaways:
- Networking is about building relationships, not just making sales.
- Differentiate yourself from the competition by focusing on the specific problems you solve, not just the products or services you offer, and this helps you stand out and connect with the right people.
- It’s important to identify your upstream referral partners – the people and businesses that work with your potential customers before they reach you because building these relationships can lead to valuable introductions and collaborations.
- Avoid the common mistake of just trying to “pitch” your business, and instead, ask questions to understand others’ needs and challenges, then demonstrate how you can help.
- Start small in networking by focusing on providing value in each conversation, and you’ll gradually build a powerful network that supports your business growth.
“Instead of saying, “How do I shove my information at you?”, what you should instead be saying is, “How can I provide value to the person I’m talking to?” — Michael Whitehouse

Dr. Karah Kruse: Your Hormones May Be Effecting Your Business…
About Dr. Karah Kruse:
Dr. Karah is a passionate naturopathic doctor dedicated to transforming lives by guiding women to achieve their ultimate health and wealth goals. Her philosophy is rooted in the belief that true health remains undiscovered until the right conditions for it are created. Recognizing the unique challenges of our modern lifestyle, her approach is not about offering quick fixes but about empowering each woman to craft her dream life and body, one step at a time. Through a combination of skills, mentorship, and accountability, Dr. Karah leads her clients on a transformative journey toward lifelong health, wealth, and vitality.
In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Dr. Karah Kruse discuss:
- Hormones and stress connection
- Tracking food, glucose, and symptoms
- Vitamin D importance for bone health
- Reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors
- Integrating lifestyle changes gradually
Key Takeaways:
- Chronic stress can deplete the raw materials needed to produce reproductive hormones, leading to perimenopausal symptoms, and addressing stress management is crucial for regulating hormones.
- Utilize food journaling and continuous glucose monitoring to identify dietary triggers.
- Vitamin D is a crucial hormone that plays a vital role in maintaining strong bones, especially as women transition through perimenopause and menopause.
- Reduce exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Many common household products contain chemicals that can interfere with the endocrine system and contribute to hormone imbalances, and the implementation of these strategies to minimize exposure to these chemicals can have a positive impact on overall health.
- Implement gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes because overwhelming yourself with too many changes at once can lead to burnout.
“Our FDA allows 2000 (chemicals) to be in use in the United States that are illegal in every other country. Yes, and they’re causing us harm… leading to our obesity rates and a lot of our hormone issues, and we can control it if we know it.” — Dr. Karah Kruse
|
Three Common Household Chemicals That Are Sabotaging Your Hormones: How To Reduce Exposure And Protect Your Family Are you tired of doing everything “right” but still struggling with stubborn weight gain, frustrating hormonal imbalances, or low energy? The truth is, it’s not your fault. Hidden in your everyday environment are obesogens—sneaky chemicals that are sabotaging your efforts. Your journey to a healthier, more vibrant you starts with understanding what’s holding you back. Don’t let these hidden toxins stand in the way of your wellness goals any longer! |
