The XMLDataProvider might be a simpler option:
How to: Bind to XML Data Using an XMLDataProvider and XPath Queries - WPF | Microsoft Docs[^]

If you want to stick with code, you're going to need a class to represent the menu item. For example:
C#
public class MenuHeaderItem
{
    public string HeaderName { get; set; }
    public IReadOnlyList<MenuHeaderItem> Children { get; set; }
}

public static IReadOnlyList<MenuHeaderItem> LoadMenu(XDocument document)
{
    var result = new List<MenuHeaderItem>();
    var allHeaders = document.Descendants("Header");
    foreach (XElement node in allHeaders)
    {
        result.Add(new MenuHeaderItem
        {
            HeaderName = (string)node.Attribute("Value"),
            Children = node.Elements().Select(el => new MenuHeaderItem 
            {
                HeaderName = (string)el,
            }).ToList(),
        });
    }
    
    return result;
}
Bind the loaded values to a read-only dependency property:
C#
private static readonly DependencyPropertyKey MenuHeadersKey = DependencyProperty.RegisterReadOnly(
    "MenuHeaders",
    typeof(IReadOnlyList<MenuHeaderItem>),
    typeof(YourContainingClass),
    new PropertyMetadata(null)
);

public static readonly DependencyProperty MenuHeadersProperty = MenuHeadersKey.DependencyProperty;

public IReadOnlyList<MenuHeaderItem> MenuHeaders
{
    get { return (IReadOnlyList<MenuHeaderItem>)GetValue(MenuHeadersProperty); }
    private set { SetValue(MenuHeadersKey, value); }
}

private void LoadHeaders()
{
    if (File.Exists("MenuHeaders.xml"))
    {
        XDocument document = XDocument.Load("MenuHeaders.xml");
        MenuHeaders = LoadMenu(document);
    }
}
Then bind the MenuHeaders collection to your menu.
XAML
<Menu ItemsSource="{Binding Path=MenuHeaders}">
    <Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type MenuItem}">
            <Setter Property="Header" Value="{Binding Path=HeaderName}" />
            <Setter Property="ItemsSource" Value="{Binding Path=Children}" />
            
            <!-- Handle the menu click event: -->
            <Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding Path=MenuClickCommand}" />
            <Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding Path=HeaderName}" />
        </Style>
    </Menu.ItemContainerStyle>
</Menu>
(I've assumed that you have an ICommand instance on your view-model called MenuClickCommand which will receive the header name as its parameter and handle the menu click event.)
