Heart palpitations are common during perimenopause and menopause, yet many women are told it’s “just stress.” In this episode, Dr. Rekishia McMillan explains how nutritional deficiencies, hormone changes, and lifestyle factors can disrupt the heart’s electrical system and trigger irregular heartbeats.


Dr. Rekishia shares her personal journey with nighttime palpitations, how mineral imbalances and poor nourishment contributed to her symptoms, and how healing began through intentional nutrition, stress management, and faith-based practices.


You’ll learn how magnesium, potassium, B vitamins, and iron support heart rhythm, why mineral balance is essential during hormonal transitions, and how biblical principles of nourishment align with modern heart-health science..


Faith is woven throughout, reminding listeners that God cares about the physical heart and calls women to steward their health with wisdom and confidence.


This episode is ideal for women seeking natural, faith-aligned guidance for heart health, hormone balance, and energy.
