Many women entering perimenopause and menopause begin experiencing symptoms like brain fog, forgetfulness, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, poor sleep, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating—often without realizing these changes may be connected to shifting hormones.

In this deeply personal and educational episode, Dr. Rekishia McMillan shares her own journey navigating major depressive disorder while serving in the military during perimenopause, long before she fully understood the connection between hormones, stress, sleep, inflammation, and mental health.

Dr. Rekishia explores how estrogen impacts the brain, memory, mood, and nervous system, and explains why areas like the hippocampus—the brain’s memory center—are especially sensitive to hormonal decline during menopause transitions.

She also breaks down practical, natural strategies women can use to support cognitive health, emotional wellness, mental clarity, and hormonal balance through nutrition, stress management, movement, sleep, and faith-centered healing practices.

This episode is ideal for women experiencing menopause brain fog, anxiety, memory changes, emotional overwhelm, fatigue, or cognitive shifts and looking for holistic, faith-aligned support during hormonal transitions.
