What happens when a yacht chef trades provisioning lists for hormone panels? You get Nat Watkins — a women’s health specialist reshaping how female crew understand their bodies, balance burnout, and reclaim their health.

In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman chats with Nat about the unspoken reality of hormonal health in high-pressure yachting environments. From cortisol crashes and thyroid dysfunction, to sleep disruption, perimenopause, and fertility struggles, this episode unpacks what every woman in yachting needs to know — but no one’s talking about.

💡 This episode dives into:
🧠 What your hormones are trying to tell you (but modern medicine isn’t)
🔥 Burnout, cortisol & why exercise timing matters
🛌 Melatonin, sleep hygiene, and why you wake at 3am
🧬 Genetic testing for real personalised wellness
🤰 Fertility, perimenopause, thyroid chaos — and how to navigate it
📚 The shocking historical treatment of women in medicine
🎯 Why understanding your hormones = taking back control

Because being informed isn’t optional — it’s essential.

🎙️ Superyacht Laundry amplifies authentic stories from the crew community. We proudly collaborate with brands that champion crew wellness, personal growth, and real-life transitions. Sponsorships now open for aligned partners.
