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!

About Jonathan Bengel:

Jonathan is known as a Business Profit Tax Coach & Teacher extraordinaire, IRS Enrolled Agent, Certified Tax Coach, Certified Tax Planner, author, and entrepreneur, guiding small business owners through the darkness of taxation; transforming their business and personal lives to Financial Happiness.

He is the host of Naked Tax Talk, where he bares down to the naked truth behind your taxes, the founder of JB Financial LLC, and the author of "The ABC's of Deductions: An Entrepreneurs Guide to Tax Write-Off's." He guides businesses to financial savings and success via his consulting services (JonathanBengel.com) and an online 5-week program, Rapid Tax Savings Formula (tm), built around the 5 pillars of profit. As Jonathan says, "Let's remember why we went into business, it's all about moocho moocho dinero."

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Jonathan Bengel discuss:

• Tax Incentives and Behavior Modification
• Confidence and Faith in Entrepreneurship
• Catering to Ideal Clients
• Learning Sales Lessons from Unexpected Sources
• Importance of Proactivity and Planning

Key Takeaways:

• The government strategically creates tax laws to incentivize specific behaviors and actions and entrepreneurs who recognize these incentives can leverage them to maximize their business growth and profitability.
• Confidence is not just about self-assurance; it's about walking with faith and a belief in one's abilities. 
• Just as strippers adjust their approach based on client preferences, entrepreneurs must be adaptable and provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of their target audience.
• The sales process can be learned from unexpected sources, and Jonathan's experience at the strip club taught him valuable lessons about confidence, follow-up, and understanding client needs, which he applied to his business.
• Entrepreneurs who approach their business with intentionality and foresight are more likely to achieve their desired outcomes.

"I've helped my clients save eight, over $8 million whether in the back tax problems or proactive tax planning… to give them that peace of mind (and) security.” — Jonathan Bengel
