Are Your Symptoms From Menopause or Posture Misalignment?? - Aleena Kanner #032
About My Guest
Aleena Kanner is a Certified Athletic Trainer and a Postural Restoration Specialist. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from SUNY Cortland and a Master’s degree in Athletic Training from the University of Arkansas. Aleena specializes in treating individuals who struggle with chronic pain and autoimmune conditions, and she collaborates with optometrists and dentists to identify her patients' underlying triggers of chronic pain and illness. She also works with the athletic population to optimize their health and performance. Aleena’s specialty is Postural Restoration®, which involves a scientific exploration of the body's natural asymmetries, using techniques that focus on the respiratory system, dental occlusion, and visual system to promote balance.
Summary
In this interview, Aleena Kanner brings refreshing honesty to the often-overlooked topic of posture. Drawing from her athletic background and professional expertise, she explains how our bodies naturally develop asymmetries that can lead to surprising health issues over time. What makes this conversation stand out is Aleena's practical approach. She breaks down complex concepts like how your breathing patterns directly impact tension patterns throughout your body, and why those cute shoes in your closet might be contributing to your chronic pain. For women navigating menopause, she offers specific insights about how postural changes during this transition aren't just annoying—they're significant indicators that deserve attention. The most compelling part is her connection between seemingly unrelated problems: that TMJ pain might actually start with foot positioning, or how mouth breathing during sleep creates a cascade of daytime issues. It's not about perfect posture—it's about understanding your unique body patterns and making targeted adjustments that can bring remarkable relief, sometimes within days rather than months.

What it's like to work with Leah
Kim Morrow
I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.
Marisa Lonic
With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.
Jonelle Fernandes
My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!
