Eating For You

Episode 148: The REAL Cause of Hot Flushes and Belly Fat in Perimenopause


Listen Later

We are celebrating World Menopause Awareness Day with a special guest, Felicia Terlecki—former professional ballet dancer turned Pilates & dance teacher and founder of Pilates Powerhouse Party


In this episode, Felicia and I reframe midlife from “decline” to power with practical tools you can start using today.


We unpack the:

⁉️most-searched questions about perimenopause vs menopause vs post-menopause (what’s the difference and how long does it last?), 

😅 real reasons behind weight gain/belly fat, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, sleep issues, and hot flushes/night sweats


Felicia shares how Pilates, strength, and simple dance support joints, posture, bone density, and confidence—and we explain how mindful eating, nervous-system regulation, breathwork, and small daily wins lower stress and make symptoms easier to navigate.


You’ll also hear about Felicia’s accessible programmes—Pilates Powerhouse Party, Sexy Back Power (20-min posture boost), Dance Grooves, and the Menopause Power Guide—plus Sallyanne’s Five Steps to a New Way of Eating and a special Tapping-In call offer.
