Testimonials

If you are deciding whether Courtney’s programs are right for you, you have to decide what quality of life you want. I was tired of feeling sick to my stomach, but I had given up on finding a solution until I started working with Courtney. I appreciate Courtney’s willingness to listen and her knowledge of a wide variety of health and performance topics, especially since I’m a high-level athlete. Since working with Courtney, I’ve noticed that my digestion is much better, I no longer have daily achiness in my gut, and I have much more energy. With Courtney’s help, I have maintained my weight in my chosen competition weight class for Olympic weightlifting. In contrast with some of the other coaches I have worked with, Courtney listens and connects the dots between my history, labs, and stressors. She believes me when I say that a certain symptom seems connected to something else. She has been patient with me when I hesitated to try certain different macros or supplements, even when the tests and functional labs and my mental state and energy levels supported these changes. She is systematic and patient in recommending the changes, so I am comfortable with the process, and we know whether something is working for me.

My outlook on nutrition has profoundly changed since I started working with Courtney. Feeding myself consistently has improved everything – my stamina, my energy, my emotional capacity.

I’m surprised by the amount of food that I can eat now compared to the old program I was on. I believed that losing weight meant major sacrifice, restriction, and this huge amount of willpower.

Courtney worked with me not just on the food, but my relationship with food and addressing the emotions around it. With her help and support, I’ve broken through some expectations that I didn’t think I could before. We have crushed a lot of stories and beliefs that I had.

I previously had some unhealthy eating patterns that I didn’t even admit to her at first. I had been eating in the middle of the night probably because I was on a restrictive plan for years prior. I was deprived because I was always hungry, so I got up in the night and ate. I consistently ate in the middle of the night more times than I didn’t over 15 years. When I started working with Courtney and eating more, it tapered off. I know now, stresses or my body being deprived is what triggers it.

I would recommend this type of coaching because being educated on what actually fuels your body and tracking it can make a difference. Not just in athletic performance but being able to handle all the things that life directs at you – I have increased my capacity in all areas of my life. When I hit a roadblock, we figure it out and move through it.
