Will I ever compete again? | Still with a sponsor?

[@_irenepark]

I could gush on and on about how much I love you Courtney. Your authenticity and how you stay true to yourself is what I truly truly look up to every single day. You're the most amazing genuine human being and I'm so glad you share your life with us. BUT GIRL WE NEED TO SEE THOSE ACAI AND PROTEIN ICE CREAM RECIPES😂❤️❤️❤️I keep drooling. Would also love to see more poppie and Steve:)))))

[@CourtneyKingFit]

GIRL ILY N I GOT YOU! Poppie, Steve and Acai bowls coming !!! LOL

[@Thefitty]

she's all about honesty and transparency! Couldn't ask for more from a youtuber

[@WallyOlly1]

I realized too this year, if you don't have your health everything around you falls apart. Glad you are moving in this direction. I would love to see another skincare video-your skin is amazing!

[@pinkypilot]

Totally get it, Courtney. And thanks for sharing. I see your future as a nutritionist/coach. You are so passionate with food and proper nutrition as well as your expertise in fitness. Follow your gut (pun intended). It’s usually right 💪

[@fkhaagenson]

I appreciate you discussing your struggles with your gut health and digestive issues. I myself am going through digestive issues due to IBS and reproductive issues and have realized how important proper nutrition is. Thanks for your straightforward honesty and transparency.

[@suepete]

Oh, to be young again! You're such a doll, and when you smile really big (which you need to do in your videos), you're stunning! Enjoy your youth, and make every day count. (P.S. That Medical Medium book is great.)

[@tylermilligan242]

Being 💯 percentage with us is your choice, and I thank you for doing so. Can’t wait for the cooking videos. There are so me of my favourites of yours.

[@anniemarquette]

I love how real you are. It’s hard to find that out there in the big ol social media fitness world..

[@madisonscott727]

Hey CK, Thanks for being so open about your struggles with gut health. I competed recently, once my competition ended I found out I was allergic to so many foods I used to eat on the daily. Every meal I ate I would bloat and feel sick. I just wasn’t myself. It’s great to know there are many of us out there that have these similar issues, I feel like someone needs to talk about competing and how unhealthy and damaging it can be on the body. I love competing but after this experience it’s compeltly changed my mind set to focus on my inner heath instead of the stage. Thanks again for all the content, keep it up Maddy

[@nicoleemrich4310]

Oh goodness I would LOVE more talks about holistic nutrition, your program, and the new things you are learning!!!! Thank you so much for all that you do!!! 💗

[@sandy_.martinez_]

Just watched the 3 part vlogs of your upbringing, fitness journey and how you got started followed by your success to Olympia Champion in 2016. Congratulations on all your success thus far! Looking forward to more healthy recipes!

[@SuperOhsarah]

Good for you!! Those supps and powders are full of chemicals that are horrible for our bodies. I appreciate your honesty!

[@GabrielaKrysa]

Courtney! Well done!You've chosen what's best for you and always focus on that. It's great you're being true to yourself. I'd love to hear more about chronic fatigue etc. - I'm struggling with being exhausted all the time for last few weeks and I have no idea what to do!

[@w00dness]

Life after body building. Love it! Holistic approach seems so much more accesible to people who want to be fit for life and not a stage. And it’s great that you’re so passionate about it!

[@tjclark9804]

Support you 100% Court! Follow your gut (literally) and do what you believe in! One thing that makes u great is how honest and genuine you are! Wish u the best moving forward with whatever you decide to do!

[@normloughran3539]

Thanks Courtney for being true to yourself and being open and totally honest with us . I will follow you , no matter what route you take . Love you as always . Norm.xxxx

[@HollylenaM]

Honestly I’ve just started following you on socials.. and now you have become my holy grail. Thankyou for being so real and I love the workouts you put out. Definitely going to try this today at the gym. ❤️

[@charlottefienga3400]

You are so amazing and I really admire and appreciate very much your honesty and just always keeping it real! Staying true to yourself is how people really stay truly successful I am so proud and amazed at how you are able to not get influenced by something that doesn't suit you! I would actually love to see videos on what you are learning! Maybe like your favorite facts or information that most people wouldn't know about! Love you so much!!! xoxoxoxo

[@laurarafferty1414]

All the best to you with school. Love your approach and am so excited to watch this new path evolve. Thank you for all the time you and Steve spend on these videos for us. 😊❤

[@guillermina322]

Love this new route you're taking. Im excited to get some tidbits about what you are learning about in school. I've been more interested in holistic nutrition/health lately and im excited to have you as a new trustworthy resource!

[@juliemonchin3292]

So refreshing to see someone so genuine in "fitness" ... thanks for keeping it real. Happy you found something that you're passionate about. Would love to see you share some recipes you learned from your classes in your future vlogs

[@amenaqazi9120]

Courtney you are absolutely amazing and so genuine! Im so excited for you to become a holiistic nutritionist! Good luck girl!

[@shanonwilkinson6267]

Thank you girl for being you and being so real. I love what you said with not going to sponsor a product that you don’t use. Love your real ness and positive energy. Can’t wait to work out with you.

[@ElizabethDwelleJewelry]

You can never go wrong when you speak from the heart. 💜 much love!

[@larissajohnson7074]

You are amazing! I love your raw honesty and this new phase you have already embarked on

[@monw1057]

I am so excited to hear what you are learning threw receipts and food ideas.. You have interested me in thinking more of what I am taking in to my body.

[@jenniferyurcus5625]

Might be fun to do some kind of regular segment on what you are learning in school! Excited to hear more about your new chapter!

[@alexmads_]

Love you Courtney!! So glad you're finding what makes you happy! Cant wait for more videos on recipes and workouts!

[@sophiewilson7690]

Courtney, I absolutely love you! It was my greatest pleasure to meet you in Birmingham at BodyPower last year. I had only just started following you then and I remember you asking me If I was thinking about competing and I was never sure. I love hearing your honest opinion about everything and how you are so passionate about making sure you are internally healthy. So excited to see more recipes videos .. the avocado brownies are AMAZING!!

[@331kimberley]

Love that you are so relatable and honest! Love that you are staying true to you!❤️❤️❤️

[@dulcecruz181]

Love that your so honest about the sponsorship. I always wonder if certain athletes really intake what they promote. Hope you get your health all taken care of and you feel 100% like yourself again. 😊

[@fitbymelanie8534]

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing your switch from aesthetics to health. Would also love to hear all the negative things you experienced and witnessed in the fitness industry. Why you left bombshell etc.... truth is very powerful for all of those chasing your place in the fitness industry!

[@MonickBarraza]

Hi Courtney! Thanks for sharing this new phase of your life. You are so authentic, and nice and down to earth, and I wish you only the best. If you can post a workout together with Steve that would be awesome!

[@phoebeshin8897]

I am so happy to hear that you are studying something you truly enjoy,Courtney!! : ) I had gone through something similar to what you are going through lately. I looked very healthy appearance-wise working out everyday and following all the fitness trends but my inner body was screaming for help. I was diagnosed with leaky gut and had to remove an orange-sized fibroid from my uterus. Now that I know how important it is to put the right foods into our bodies, I absolutely enjoy all your food related postings here and instagram!! Keep doing what you are doing,love!! You are amAzing!!!!

[@berlin1040armenta]

Omg yes❤️❤️ I’m so happy for you ! Thank you for the inspiration. I have lupus so everytime I see your videos about gut health I get motivated.

[@juliewadz7496]

I love learning from you. I too am going through thyroid issues and all that goes along with it, so I love to hear from you and your knowledge it excites me, and gives me hope to cure my own health issues. 🌺🥦🥑🍠💜💖

[@christinao935]

thank you so much for stepping out of the box and getting away from the average "I post bikini pictures on ig and do hip thrusts 5x a week" real health like what you are showing is what truly matters and not how "shredded" you can get before summer. educating yourself is key to everything, thank you being the example that young girls need to see.....true health and education not how many likes you can get on a picture with you in a bikini

[@CourtneyKingFit]

Christina Olague HELL TO THE YES! Thank you hun!

[@jorobinson5132]

Love this video! So happy to see you taking the holistic route and healing from within. Keep us posted on what you are learning. I would love to do a holistic nutritional course. Will look into this. Big love from the UK 💕

[@shaunajensefitness]

Court! Thank you for sharing everything and being vulnerable with us! I completely resonate with you in terms of really finding true happiness within and dealing with anxiety and depression! It’s really nice to know we are not alone!!! I’m so happy you’ve been able to find nutrition and know your going to do amazing at that and help so many people !!!!!

[@sabinahart1593]

Courtney, it is refreshing to see people like you, who have been immersed in the fitness industry, to have a sort of "awakening" to what true health is. While the fields of holistic and alternative nutrition are only now getting more attention , these fields will be the "medicine" of the future. I love Ann Wigmore's quote: “The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” It's just a shame that many have not caught on or are not convinced. It seems like it takes a major health crisis for one to realize that our dietary choices determine so much in how we feel every day. I almost thought about competing, but have now shifted my focus to naturally re-balancing my hormones and gaining a healthy relationship with food. And competing surely does no good for a girls hormones, huh! I am curious, if you don'y mind replying: Do you have any plans with the holistic nutrition schooling you are doing? That is so exciting!

[@Beauuty97]

I would love to hear to talk more about school, healing from within is also my passion so this would be so helpful! :) thank you Court for another great video!

[@DrizzyDrake4Life]

My ABSOLUTE favourite person on social media!!!!🖤🖤🖤🌿😍 you are SO inspiring and SO relatable!!!! Thank you for being you and never trying to be someone your not just for social media 💯 Really shows what great character you have to not renew that sponsorship that you no longer resonate with!

[@CourtneyKingFit]

Nancy Sidhu love you!!! Thanks so much darling !

[@navkirant6895]

Good for you for sticking to what you believe in and how you feel. I would love to see cooking videos/recipes!

[@33gorman]

best of luck to you, your an inspiration to many...Love how positive you are!!! Your the best

[@Cc33119]

Love you Courtney ❤️❤️ so much self love and honesty . I’m in the transition part of my life too , something my heart isn’t sure . Glad to know my inspo girl going through to the same thing too

[@jordanwilson3973]

Always 100% honest and real. You are such an inspiration for the information that you are sharing x

[@nikkijackson213]

You’re such a smart little cookie!! I seriously love you so much Courtney!! You’re fabulous

[@Thefitty]

She definitely is xD

[@jessicapollet5045]

Um okay. Love you and everything you stand for. Thanks for sharing! Would love to see recipes and info on incorporating a wide range of nutritious foods in a diet.

[@Bikiniposing]

We appreciatte your honesty and that you act according with what you think. You are an example to follow for this fitness industry.

[@danikajohnson2725]

This speaks to my soul so much right now. I'm feeling at crossroads with what is truly aligning with who I want to be...and what once spoke to me in an exciting "yay let's do this" kind of way, no longer is singing the same tune for me. Motivate by your shift from external focus to now more internal and the mindset to shift away from competitions while still respecting all it has provided for you. 💜

[@StephanieStoven]

So awesome to hear that!! Good for you!! I don’t like promoting something I don’t believe in either and have refrained from re-signing contracts with other companies for that sole reason!!

[@brittanyb8255]

Deciding to give up competing is something I decided on this past year as well. It is SO refreshing to see high level bikini competitors like you realize there's more to life than killing yourself to compete!! Focusing on who you are as a person rather than your appearance is the best thing ever ❤️

[@BrielleOlhausen]

I never usually comment on videos but I have to on this one. I think what you’re doing is amazing. You are such a great role model to so many women. Fitness isn’t about the extreme for the average person, yet a lot of people think it is because of what they see on social media. I love that you don’t care about following what everyone else does and that you’re so real with us. I respect you so much for that. I’m excited for you to take this holistic nutrition course. What are your plans after you finish it? I’m currently a Nutrition major at San Diego State University and it’s so awesome to learn in depth about nutrition and cooking and how it can effect people! Keep sharing your journey

[@joannaprevost426]

Honestly Courtney, you have a way of connecting with people that is truthful and honest and it's a rare quality ! I'm so glad that you are finding your passion and living it ! You should totally pitch a show to Food Network, so you can help the masses ! Holistic Natural cooking with Court !! I'm just tossing around ideas ! Good Luck to you !!😍

[@katemccambley5444]

Loved everything about this! I’m right there with you. Although I was no where near your level of competing, I’ve recently made the transition to focus on overall mental, physical, and spiritual health. I’d love to see the recipes you post....may I request you post ways on cooking/preparing fish (ie salmon, sea bass, cod, etc)?❤️

[@cassieharris3116]

I would love to hear your suggestions on healthy alternatives to the typical workout supplements!

[@MA-mc7vq]

Cassie Harris , healthy alternatives include fruit, veg, nuts and seeds 🙂

[@chloemiller6274]

Ugh Courtney I seriously love and admire you so much. You're real, you're honest, and you're genuine. I would LOVE for you to talk more about holistic nutrition and how you incorporate it in your life and I would love to know more about your schooling!!! What books do you read/have you read that you would recommend to someone that wants to learn about it? Or maybe people you follow on social media that you learn from? Easy and simple recipes? I am so interested because I also deal with bloating and just overall feeling terrible so I have really been wanting to know more about it lately. Thank you for always being so honest and upfront about what you're going through, you aren't alone!

[@Thefitty]

*excited about this new phase of life you're going through! I am sad to not follow your competing phase anymore because i find that to be the most motivating and inspiring but I'm happy to follow along your journey nonetheless. Cheers to a new Courtney!*

[@nancycapparelli7860]

Hey girl! I loved to hear what u are about now. I am on the sameeeee path. I was a competitor myself, and now I’m all about doing things the right way for my body and soul. It’s nice to see others, like u, also find that it’s the most important thing at the end. Great video Courtney!

[@23cruzypooh]

Thank you Courtney for sharing this! Expressing yourself on social media takes so much courage and strength and that is exactly what you are, Strong and courageous!

[@kaitlynchristopher5868]

Love and appreciate how open you are with everything, wish you the best!

[@Athleisureandaprons]

Im so excited for this new journey in your life Courtney! I'm super excited for cooking vids! I too have struggled with so much health issues and have been working to find ways to heal. I love how conscientious you are about nutrition and I know you are going to do great! Can't wait to learn more from you!

[@health.mom.summer]

Amen🔥🔥❤. Internal health is what to preach. Love ya girl.

[@jennywesolowski4345]

Oh man, you sound a lot like me with your passion for holistic healing! I love how honest you are. You've inspired me to at least look into taking a holistic nutrition course 🤗 As for future vids, could you continue sharing with us as your diet changes or if it does? And maybe how your weekly workout load changed now that you're not competing. Thanks!

[@revivealbyjack]

I love you for always being so real 🖤 I pray so much that one day I get the chance to meet you!

[@rachelsprouse2439]

So happy for you! I love the natural food recipe live videos!

[@angelaboulton1451]

I'd like to be more informed of holistic approaches - so anything u upload would be of interest 😘

[@LadyMckinley]

Hi Courtney, I would love to see a video of you talking about your holistic nutrition program. I've researched some other programs but haven't decided on one yet.

[@katieProjectU]

My gosh Courtney- mad respect to you. My respect and admiration for you has sky rocketed from what it originally was; which was massive anyways. Thank you for posting this and being so open with us your fans ( well I’m a major fan girl anyways) Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s really eye opening to hear these words coming from someone who was/is so “in” the bodybuilding world. Eye opener- thank you.

[@christiejoylove]

So happy you're staying true to yourself! I love what you stand for and just how down to earth you are. 💗💗

[@Bianca-dh8iv]

I love your videos! I've been watching your videos for a good while and you inspire me so much. I've learned a couple of things from your videos and they have helped a lot. Thank you Courtney ☺

It makes me so happy that you're so honest about products and not shoving ads down our throats like so many other youtubers that are sponsored.

[@FitGirlCulture]

I love how genuine you are and honest about what you believe in!!

[@kelseydouglas4406]

Can you do a video topic about what you do career-wise? as in what do you do to support yourself or what avenues do you take to make money for yourself? I always enjoy hearing what people do who don't have a typical "9-5" and I also think that some people have a misconception that you make your income off KZbin solely. Just think that'd be an interesting topic! Thanks for always being you Courtney!! :)

[@alishathomas9140]

I just got fired from my gym job that I always wanted,it helped me with my fitness journey and i just really loved it. so now that I am jobless it sucks, mostly bevause I feel like everyone now think that I cant do anything in fitness industry anymore just because I failed at this job. but my mindset is on its time to do something better than. thank u love u court

[@fitandhealthyrocks1992]

Love following you. Good luck with your new endeavors

[@gabiegunson7069]

Yes this is what I prefer as well. I get chronic migraine every day since I was a teen and have issues with my stomach (I throw up a lot) I take way to much over the counter meds like Tylenol and Excedrin. I want to be more holistic and all natural to help me get better. I bought some of the bpi products and honestly that stuff doesn't make me feel better. I feel like we have just been taught that we need that crap in order to loose fat and gain muscle. Would love to see some of the stuff u have learned to ear and your journey to feeling better all around. I wish more girls who have a platform were like you. Can't wait to see what you have learned and get some ideas from ya. Thanks love!!!

[@backhill36000]

Thanks for keeping it real and honest! Amen! ✌

[@sofiagait7082]

I love watching your videos and glad to see you posting again. Great video.

Being healthy physically and emotionally is awesome. Love the honesty in this video. I say continue on with your life...I say make a cook book sometime down the road :)

[@Fit-with-nic]

This is why you and Steve are great together, you both really believe in what you do and aren’t fake about any of it. I was always skeptical of BPIs products

[@ethan3942]

you and steve should-do your "cooKing" segment but as a channel where you show guys and girls how to make healthy (& maybe affordable) meals weekly

[@cierracross556]

Love this new change fir you in holistic nutrition...good stuff. 👌🏻 And those chairs you are sitting at are amaaaazing!

[@ashleyhernandez1606]

Yesss girl, this is why you’re my favorite!

[@kelseywheetley5651]

Loving this approach away from aesthetics only to focusing on mental and physical health! I would love to see what your regime is for taking care of your body with a more holistic approach! Do you take any natural supplements? What’s an intuitive day of eating look like for you? How are you healing your gut? Etc. just a few topics I’d love to see a video on!

[@stephanieprice9959]

You should do a holistic cook book!

[@CourtneyKingFit]

YES!!!! ITS COMING!

[@AmandaRogersarock1988]

I'm so glad that you're not doing the usual fitness youtuber-style marketing products anymore. When you were starting to discuss your health issues I was wondering if it was from overuse of products. In the future, can you please do an update of what you currently take supplement-wise? (I remember a few videos where you had stacks of vitamins/supplements on the counter and it would be cool to see an update on that. You've climbed the mountain and competed, why do more damage to your body when you can really dig into this new phase of life before there is permanent damage. #Teamhealth

[@yasmineabdelghani401]

Such a big fan of yours!!! 💕 I would love to know how do you stay so mentally strong when struggling with the things you have and just continue to push. Any tips and pointers just to blow kit out and just stay positive
