You’ve genuinely changed my life for the better. And I think Im not alone in that. I look forward to all of your content and you radiate such a good energy and vibe. I wish I could meet you in person and tell you that! You will be missed, but you should always follow your heart ❤
You changed my life for the better. You helped me overcome a lot and understand the science behind nutrition and exercising. I’ve been healing from years of ED and you played a big part in it. Thank you ❤️ going to miss you but I hope your videos will stay up so I can refer to them when I need, because I have been and always will ❤️
You’ve changed my whole perspective on exercise Natacha, you changed my life! Your vlogs brought me so much joy 😭 I’m happy you’re following your gut and hope you’re happy 💖💖
To let go of a channel with 1.68.M subscribers in order to grow further as a person really shows the integrity of Natacha. I am back to lifting and being strong after watching you. Thank you.
Is this yet another woman who will get married and have children and then let go of everything in life that she has built in order to be a mom and wife? If so, can we please get to the point where we discuss men not removing things in their life in order to be a dad and a husband? I’m over this social bs construct of hiding women away in the house to only cater to a man. If it’s tied in her actually growing and going on a new adventure, then this is amazing!
@@soilgrasswaterairsomeone has to bring home bacon and someone delivers, nurtures and raises your legacy. Women have been lied to. Both are full time jobs. Sadly, generations of kids have been brought up like this, either latch key or raised by strangers. I'm 62 and thankfully I had mom full-time when I was a kid. Mom started working again (having given up job at major phone company) in my 10th grade yr. Division of labor and mom better with kids. But that genie will never get back in the bottle now that our society has been conned into measuring man and women financial equality separately from each other. What a mess...generation after generation following this con into frustration and regret.
@@soilgrasswaterair Sure make this about mEn BaD. Do you really, honestly believe that your father and grandfather didn't have to let go of things in order to provide for their families?
Silent watcher here, you are one of the most inspirational women I've come across on this platform! Your joy, your beauty and knowledge is outstanding and you have been such a light on this platform! I'm so grateful to have known your channel and a part of you! God bless you! Wishing you all the best in your journey - THANK YOU!!!!
I completely agree with everything you said. I am also a silent watcher and I absolutely loved her content so much. She was such joy, and always brought a smile to my face. Thank you!
@@JanHopkins-i1o Dr Seuss said it...but keep in mind that the geezer who wrote the books was also absolutely hammered out of his mind at the same time! 😂😂
I know that this won't probably reach you 'cause there's such a large amount of comments, but you helped me get out of disordered eating habits when I was in a really low phase of my life and I'm really thankful for everything that you've done for me and tons of others around the world.
This makes me so happy to read! She's helped me so much in loving my body and embracing my health journey too. On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
I'm a 20-something gym bro type, literally opposite from your target demographic but still I've followed as a silent subscriber for some time - Natacha, I hope you know that your "How to Run" video was basically the spark that took me out of obesity and into the best shape of my life. I can't thank you enough! Edit: specifically, your explanation of proper foot striking technique, heart rate / lactic threshold, and getting the right gear & mindset were the gamechanging factors. Everything clicked after that. I don’t know what your plans are going forward Natacha, but I picture you as a CEO of a running camp somewhere in a mountainous region like Patagonia or near Banff in Canada
This is awesome, way to go man. 👏🏼 Her running video also motivated me to try running more and although I've never been a good runner, I managed to run my first 5K last month and my first 5 miles this week! She is truly to thank for that.
You're literally also part of her targeted demographic, why you think you're not just because she's a women makes no sense? You're literally both gym bros in the same age bracket but she gives the scientific backed advice 🤷🏼♀️

More power to you bro!! I heavily resonated with this cause I'm 20something and I'm a bit of a gym bro too, even the video you mentioned changed the way I run as well♨️ Hope she reads this one to know just how authentic and wide her impact is! Again props to you on your journey man, much love & respect to your grind🖖🏾☕
Short-form video content is one of the worst things to ever happen to the internet. It is slowly eroding people's capacity for effort, and its effects on the dopamine system are devastating and scary. The fact that you're moving away from the internet, partially because the landscape of it no longer aligns with your values, really hits home for me. I got my acceptance letter to law school this morning after being an aspiring musician for 8 years. I just don't want to be competing for people's attention any more. Thank you for everything, Natacha. Tes vidéos vont vraiment me manquer, mais je te supporte à 100% dans ta décision
Congratulations on your law school acceptance. I know I am a total stranger on the internet but I also went to law school. The day I got my acceptance was amazing. Good luck on your journey.
"I just don't want to be competing for people's attention anymore". I felt that to my core!! I'm in my 2nd year of law school, I'm 32 and I feel the same!
You had all the self belief and the strength to make such a positive change for yourself my friend. The credit is all yours, and I love you too 🤍🤍 I hope I get to hug you in person one day
i am so glad I am part of generation when videos are in-depth, lenghty, informative. instead of 10sec info of whatever. i will always come back to this.
I don’t know that I’ve ever commented, but you single-handedly restored my trust and faith in creators on the TH-cam platform. I love that you turned to peer-reviewed sources, debunked fitness myths, and most importantly, were candid, vulnerable, and kind. You are one of a kind on TH-cam, and you will be missed.
I have the biggest respect for her content and her approach to research. On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
My friend 🤍🤍 reading that touches my heart in a way I’ll never be able to capture with words. I don’t know how to express how happy I am for you, and how much I hope your life is full of so much goodness and love 🤍 thank you for giving me a chance to help 🌸
I can’t believe I’m crying over a lady I’ve never met but who has grown into one of my favorite humans. You are a gift to this world. I am so happy to live in the same timeline as your existence. Good luck Natacha 🩷 we love YOU always.
I've been avoiding watching this video for two weeks because I preferred living in denial... This channel has been one of my absolute favorites for many years and has completely changed the way I view health, fitness, and wellness for the better. I can't even begin to describe how much of a positive impact these videos have had on me and how excited I was every time I saw a new video from Natacha pop up. Thank you Natacha for putting so much good out into the world. You are so inspiring and such a light in a space full of negativity, pressure, and misinformation! Best on the next adventure, we will miss you!!! ❤
Damn a channel like yours CANNOT be duplicated, replicated or replaced... only been following you over the last year and I swear you are the reason I will ONE DAY be an ultrarunner. You won't need luck on your future endevours as you're a genius but I wish you well. You've impacted many.
This message is like a mother letting their children into the world. You gave us knowledge, you helped us understand thinks and you being here is like emotional support. You go girl and don´t worry about us, we cheer for your future advetures and challenges.
Sobbing whilst on the bike. You’ll never know the impact you truly have on people. We love you. 🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️ Coming back to this comment section to add a thank you for all the content you've put out there over the years. You'll always be one of my biggest inspirations. xo
Hey beautiful! Thank you so much, I don’t deserve you ❤❤❤ a little soul searching is what I need for now, and I hope one day life might bring us back together 🌸
Lowkey have known for a year now that you were going to move on soon, I could just feel it. Ily Natacha and you have no clue how much you have changed my relationship with the gym, and my relationship with my body. You’re such a gem! Good luck on whatever life has for you
Bless you 🤍 I love you back my friend. Sharing with you has truly been something I’ll look back on with a smile for the rest of my life. I can’t put into words how much of an honour it’s been to try to help. You deserve those happy relationships so that you can really live your life to it’s fullest. I hope the future gives us another chance 🤍🤍🤍
For me, a dad, your channel provided a way to connect with a family member who struggled with their own eating/nutrition/health and self-belief. Together we have shared your clips, laughed, challenged our beliefs, and supported each other with simple messages. Thank you, Natacha, I hope you and your loved ones have the most amazing life.
I never comment on TH-cam videos, but I have an urgency to tell you how much you’ve positively influenced me personally. I watch (and rewatch many times) all of your videos whilst working out / travelling / at home. You are one in a million Natacha! Thanks for being such an inspiration
You may not read this but I am so thankful for everything you have taught me! Your channel helped me recover from a 15 year eating disorder and finish my PhD without running my body into the ground. You taught me a whole mindset shift that fitness isn't punishment and that our bodies deserve us listening to them. Thank you and best of luck for whatever comes next!
Silent follower for years and I’m almost in tears, your videos and you at home workout programme during covid helped me lose weight, gain confidence, armed with knowledge I have taken into adulthood. Sports has become everything to me, despite being sedentary as a teen, in my early 20s I am now competing in pole vault, which brings me so so much joy, and I always say it’s because of this channel.
Dear beautiful Natacha, I am a disabled person who has always been told, directly and indirectly, that I will never be able to be physically strong and indepedant and that I will never be able to have a strong and healthy relationship with my body. When I found your channel and heard the things you had to say about listening to your own body and believing that you can change your relationship with it and have a stronger and more healthy connection wth it, it helped motivate me to challenge the beliefs I had taken on about my body as a disabled person and now I am tronger than I have been in years and I am beginning to see my body in a completely different way and to know that I am capable of things that I never dreamed possible. Thank yu for inspiring, motivating and believing in our possibility and potential to change our lives for the better. I will always remember the gift you gave me from half way across the world. Keep being awesome. Love Lulu in New Zealand.
Lulu your emotional strength & your intelligence is absolutely stunning! You have the most wonderful way of seeing life/for giving yourself permission to be free to live to love your life to never miss out on experiencing life & making it your own no matter what! You're beyond inspiring! You can do anything! Keep staying grateful/you've got this!! 🙏🏻😊☀️
Opens TH-cam and sees Natasha has a new vid: Immediate excitement. Reads title: Heart sinks and body freezes. Stares at screen while processing the information. Cries throughout the whole video.
Sameeeee. I literally did a full face of makeup and it’s smeared right now from my sobbing. I love you Natasha, I hope you live your life how you want. You taught me so much about loving my body and taking care of it
Part of the silent follower club! You're the best. I'll miss the you and Mario and the big time humour and smiles that you've delivered every single time. I ran my first half marathon and your videos really helped me believe in myself. Thank you and all the best for this new chapter of travelling and exploring!! 🥰
I was debating whether to write or not but I feel like it's so important you know how much you've impacted other people's lives. I struggled with anorexia since the age of 16. It took years of treatment until I finally reached the point where I truly wanted to beat my ED and that's around the time when I happened to find your channel (a good few years back). Lucky for me I found someone who based there channel on true science based and health-aimed knowledge. Following the information you provided, buying your training programs and just listening to you enabled me to face my fears and embrace a healthy way of life - training wise and eating wise. I can't express how greatly you influenced my life. You've truly been one of my greatest role-models throughout. Today I'm happy to say that I am fully recovered, love training, love my body and am learning medicine to hopefully spread a positive influence to others in the future. Thank you so much for all your time, energy and positivity. Enjoy what the future has to offer!
Must say, that you really became one of those comfort channels that I came back to over and over again. The number of times that i have watched your 'what I eat in a day' 'week of workouts' videos are too many to count. Your presence and joy is so infectious even through the screen. I have taken multiple titbits to incorporate into my training and will forever be thankful for those information.
Started crying as soon as I understood that it's not a clickbait... 💔😭 I've been watching you for as long as I can remember. I'm 26 yo now and you have been on every single one of my yearly vision boards, inspiring me, and teaching me so much throughout the years... I will forever remember the joy, love, inspiration, and knowledge your videos brought into my life. And I will be on the lookout for your Instagram posts. ♡ Thank you for everything you gave us. Enjoy your time, it is more than well deserved 🩷
Your knowledge and integrity helped me heal my broken relationship with my body, heal from a painful foot injury, crush my many half marathon goals, and much more. Thank you for being such a beautiful and strong woman. -Hailey, a silent watcher
Natacha, you are the reason I studied exercise science in college. I found your channel 5 years ago and fell in love with your message. Thank you for teaching me to always be curious. I will miss your videos immensely but I wish you nothing but success in your new endeavors.
You’re amazing!!! Curiosity!! Please keep it close, absorb everything you can, even if it’s not clear how it’ll be useful right now. I promise, become a learning machine and the dots will all connect one day and you’ll make such a difference with that degree. Proud of you my friend, you’re so smart 🤍🤍
😭😭😭 Like many other silent watchers over the years, I feel moved to also share my gratitude. I’ve struggled with self-esteem issues, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders for most of my life. My relationship with nutrition and exercise continues to ebb, flow, and evolve. But no matter where I’ve been in my own journey, your videos have always been a positive place of uplifting and empowering inspiration. Thank you for creating such a safe space and for sharing your passion, knowledge, and belief with the world. I’m sad to no longer receive that dose of sunshine your videos bring, but am so stoked you’re leading by example and putting yourself and your happiness first. Wishing you all the best, wherever life takes you, I know you’re going to make the most of it 💖
So, I first saw this thumbnail probably within 3 days of you posting it… and couldn’t bring myself to watch it because I didn’t want to believe it was really goodbye. I’ve watched in now, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your content. You’re truly an inspiration! And I wish you all the best with your next (and all future) chapters 💞
My absolute role model. I've been part of the fitness community since I was 15. Your account has been the most positive influence throughout. 10 years on, I've run 3 ultras and have just accepted a STEM PhD against all odds. You definitely influenced all of this magic 🙌🏼
This feels like losing a friend somehow. I am exactly the same with change making me cry my eyes out. I was crying my whole way through this video. Best of luck in all of your future endeavours you wonderful woman x
If this is goodbye forever, then I will miss these videos forever. You are an angel and my favourite person on this platform and I can’t see that ever changing. You’ve improved my life immeasurably. I hope you find everything you’re looking for - you deserve the best.
I am crying 😭 But I completely understand. You have helped me through so much. When my cancer came back, I would go back to your old videos and find comfort in them ❤ I wish you all the best Natacha, you seem like such a kind human being.
You are such a warrior my friend, I am so in awe of you. Reading this has made me cry. Sometimes I wish I was better with words and I could find the ones that capture the swell of love and gratitude I feel. I’m honoured to have been by your side through such a tough time. That’s what friends are for 🤍
I grew up with a lot of diet and fitness trauma and unlearning all of those voices took decades. Yours is the voice that replaced it. Instead of critique I hear your encouragement. Instead of harshness I hear your empathy. Instead of never enough I hear your every little bit counts. Even if you never do post again, I’ll carry your voice with me on each new PR and milestone. I might never run a marathon or become an Iron Man but training with you has given me ownership of my health back. From the bottom of my heart - thank you ❤
Im so terribly sad you have left, but so happy for your journey ahead. Thank you for helping me with my body and making me fall in love with movement. Youre incredible, i love your videos!
“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” -Leonardo da Vinci
You’ve got to take some credit for how awesome you feel the community has been. The community is undoubtedly a reflection of you, and the caring and authenticity that you bring. Thank you for pouring out your heart for us all this time. Best of luck in the future!
Genuinely gutted that you're gonna be leaving TH-cam. Been watching you since you started. Wishing you all the very best in whatever this next chapter brings you ❤ THANK YOU for everything you've done for this community!! we will miss you on here xx hope this break isn't forever xx
I've been watching your videos for 8 years, and you wouldn't believe how much you've inspired me (and so many others!). Because of you, I've competed in Olympic Weightlifting at a state level after years of hard work/barbell training, and I've signed up to run my very first marathon in Sydney this year after YEARS of living a very sedentary life in my early 20s. Thank you for showing us the smarter way to train, and spreading the joy and how fulfilling moving your body can be. You're one of the real ones and we'll miss you heaps 💖
Whenever people ask me who my inspiration is in fitness and life, I always say Natacha Océane! My go-to girl. No one else holds a candle, and that's just the honest truth. You will be missed my friend. It's all love, science, and fun with you. Wishing you all the best in your journey forward. I hope we can meet someday❣️
literally same!! And I got at least 6 of my friends on her workout guides because I rave so much about her and how much of an inspiration she is!! On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
Is there a "crying buckets" button? Your videos, messages and positivity really were so insipartional and fun to watch. You've been like a friend whom I never personally spoke to but there when needed. You will be sorely missed on this platform but really excited for your next life chapter. Wishing you all the best Natacha!!!
I’m so beyond proud of you!!! What a beautiful gift to yourself, taking care of your mind and body. I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your life. Thank you for everything Amelia 🤍🌸
I remember watching her video “how to become the person you’ve always wanted to be” at 10pm on a bike in the gym when I wasn’t feeling good about where I was. It had the most basic, IMPORTANT things to focus on; like eating and sleeping and finding the right environment, and it helped me realise that it’s the basics that the most important thing. Sad to see her go
october 2024, still doing your follow along workouts, and have been since 2020. natacha, you're the reason why i manage to keep active and keep in mind how the way you FEEL really changes you, not the way you look. you are truly amazing and i am forever changed because of you. thank you for everything.
The first time I watched one of your videos was during the COVID lockdowns, when I just needed to get off the couch. Now I'm entering an IRONMAN 70.3 next year, purely because your IRONMAN video was so unbelievably inspiring. Thanks for everything Natacha, and have a great time on your next adventures!
😭 I’m almost 50 and not your normal audience, but I followed you for years and found so much value and inspiration in your videos. And joy. You will be missed on this platform but I wish you all the best as you explore a new chapter of your life. You have made a difference.
I cant 💔 this feels the same as Jenna Marbles leaving. You have been such a joy to watch and I hope you find all the happiness you deserve and more! Thank you for teaching us so much 🩷
You're incredible! We welcome you back with open arms if you decide to do so. Even if you just want to make some on a whim here and there. Your channel is so positive and I have learned so much from you. I also have just enjoyed watching you try to do new things. Seeing you post the good and the bad/struggles that come with life has helped me so much. To see someone as incredible as you being open and honest about all that comes in to what you do and that everyone struggles. Thank you for everything!
What’s great about TH-cam is that I will get to rewatch your videos over again when I need them still. I’m sad that we won’t get new videos and to get updates on what you’re up to, but I know that I still have access to your amazing videos from the past.
I'm devastated. You've brought so much joy and inspiration to me through your videos. You've changed my life by getting me into running. We will miss you so so much Natacha, but you are so deserving of a break and the growth you are seeking.
I’m watching this video after doing a run from Hybrid. I’m 23 years old now and going through my teenage years watching your youtube channel has been such a life saver. I understand now how important it has been to have a role model like you, a women doing sports in an ambitious yet save and smart way. Your channel has been the small oasis of information and health, and that made me not fall (too much) in the traps of diet culture and only exercising for looks that was the mainstream in the last decade. I will never be able to thank you enough. Natacha, thank you, thank you, thank you. We all wish the very best for you.
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before, but I couldn’t leave this one without saying THANK YOU! Thank you for empowering and inspiring so many young women. Thank you for being one of the only trustworthy, no BS influencers. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and knowledge with us. You have inspired me and made me a better person in every area of my life. I first came across a video of you on Instagram, pistol squatting on a kettle bell, in a bright, matching gym set and space buns and I immediately thought ‘I need to follow this girl!!’ I have one of your Instagram videos saved where it is a compilation of you squatting, running, surfing, boxing etc. and I watch it when I need some girl boss power. When I grow up I want to be like Natacha Océane!!! Thank you Natacha for everything, we love you!!❤️🌸
I juat cried my eyes out. It feels like saying goodbye to a best friend. But just like with a best friend, I am so proud of you and happy for you that you are doing this for yourself. So much love and support from Denmark. Always ❤️❤️✨
You are the reason I've stuck with training for the past 4 years when I found your channel. Thank you for all you've given to girls and women in sports. You haven't let anyone down, you've lifted thousands of people up. Wish you all the best!
I went through cancer 5 years ago. Started watching your videos to hopefully get my fitness back up. I just completed my first marathon 3 days ago finishing at 3:56:22. I seriously couldn’t have done it without you! I love you!! Cheers to your fulfilling future whatever it may be!🥂
Thanks for inspiring me ❤ I’m in cancer treatment now, and it’s been a struggle to accept what my body can and can’t do now. Looking forward to going back to running (and building from the ground up) when treatment ends in a few weeks
I've recommended your channel to a LOT of other women who were afraid to do resistance training, didn’t understand nutrition, and just needed a good, science-based resource. I'll continue to recommend you as long as your videos are available. Thank you for the positive, educational inspiration. Best to you in whatever you choose to do!
You helped me find my love for exercise: exercising due to loving my body/health versus exercise due to hating the way I look. Always so grateful for your creativity, fearlessness, and kindness!!!
Genuine genuine genuine. I’m 25 now but I remember watching your videos when I first started getting into fitness and working out @18 y/o. Always followed since then to now but haven’t seen your vids for about two years and I get an update saying goodbye… thank you for your inspiration, your unique functional training (that influenced MY TRAINING) and being you!! Goodluck on your future endeavors!!
I started watching your videos a couple of months after my dad died. I was devastated; I didn't work out nor take care of my nutrition. Your videos helped me get back on track. THANK YOU! 🌸
I’m so sorry, I hate the thought of disappointing you. I just need time to soul search and think about life and I hate the thought of leaving and not telling you how special you are. I don’t know what the future holds but I hope it’ll bring us back together in some way 🤍🌸
@@natachaoceaneI do completely understand your reasoning though! You’ve helped so many of us and done some amazing things 🩷 all the best natacha and hopefully see you soon and would love to meet in person one day! ☺️
You are someone very special. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and life. Bringing a lot of positivity and joy! You deserve this time to go and live life! Time to put yourself first and focus on what brings you happiness. I’ve really looked up to you through these years, you are an inspiration, so thank you again. I wish you all the very best
Not gonna lie I cried watching this. I'll miss you so much. Your vlogs helped me see that life could be fun and full of joy without restriction and perfectionism. You helped me value my body for what it can do rather than what size clothes it could fit into. You deserve to follow your heart and live with so much joy and fulfillment. It makes me happy to think that you are going to passionately pursue your dreams and real life relationships offline, HOWEVER I will really miss the life updates, the funny vlogs and clips of cooking with Mario. I will miss it A LOT. Don't ever hesitate to pop back in and update us even if it's just a 20 minute unedited clip! Apart from the amazing quality content that you have provided us, I know a lot of us follow you for your heart and your personality. Sending so much love!! Thank you for everything, friend. Follow your heart always!!
I did not expect to cry this early in the morning. Natacha, you have changed my life in more ways than I could ever explain here. You are the reason I recovered from my eating disorder. you are the reason I have a healthy relationship with food and exercise, and you're the reason I got in to strength training. I truly do not know where id be without you. thank you for everything you've done. I think I can speak for all of us when I say I am so beyond grateful for you and am happy you're doing what's best for you! we will always support you no matter what, because you've been there for us all these years. I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you've done. Best of luck on this next chapter in your life ❤️
i remember the first video of yours i watched in like 2019... i was in the midst of an ED and clicked on one of your "what i eat in a day" videos looking for ways to fuel my ED - and what i found set me on a path of healing. You are truly inspiring, warm, caring and genuinely a huge comfort and role model to me. i cant thank you enough for the influence you've had on my life, and i really hope to see random updates to see you again. Sending so much love...ok I'm gna go cry now 😅❤
TH-cam is losing one of the GOATs 😢 going to miss you and your videos so so much! Please don’t stop posting on Instagram, even if it’s just bits and pieces of your day and you and Mario’s silly banter. We love you guys so much. Please leave all your videos up because I’ll be rewatching so many of them ❤️ I hope you’ll be back one day. You’re such an inspiration and a positive light in this world.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. It has made such an impression on me, and my hopes for women of all ages. From it I learned about what you've been doing for more than nealy two decades to help girls and women find ways to gain the emotional and physical strength so vital to our abilities to achieve our many, many goals. I'm looking forward to looking back on your cannon of work to find inspiration for myself and my 25 year old daughter. We are all, whatever our age, on the same journey. I wish you the very best in your pursuits. You have been and will continue to be a treasure to so, so many women.
Goodbye, my friend. Life your live to the fullest, we will always cheer for you as much as you cheered for us all. Thank you so so so much for all the work and the time and the love you have put into this channel and guides and the project in general. This one is truly one of the most beautiful communities in TH-cam. Much much love and best wishes❤❤
Oh Natacha, you brought me to tears when you mentioned the STEM scholarship. You’ve been beside me through getting my PhD and I loved connecting with your STEM side in your Science Explained videos! Can’t wait to keep supporting all your future endeavours from the sideline. Thanks for being my favourite and most inspiring influencer. Big sister energy 👭🏼💕
Thanks to you, I returned to education to do a Biochemistry degree because you inspired me to want to understand and critically think about science. I've now realised I am capable, and I'm going on to study graduate medicine to best help as many people as possible, so thank you - you've made my life 10000x better
Thank you for your amazing videos; the knowledge, the workouts to follow and for your optimism! You're always a pleasure to watch and will be missed. Enjoy your travels! You deserve it!
I truly can't explain how much your channel helped me. As a young athlete in anorexia recovery you showed me a healthy balance of food, exercise, rest and life. You showed me how I want to live, and in my bad days you helped me to keep pushing to create the life I want. Today I'm in a completely different place and my life are so much better, really thanks to you ❤ I can't express how much I'll miss your videos but I also feel like I'm now in a place where I can deal with anything by myself. I truly can't thank you enough for everything that you've done for me, without even knowing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for all your years of hard work! You've given so many women the confidence and knowledge to pursue their fitness and life goals! You're the absolute best. ❤❤ wish you all the luck in this next chapter of your life.
I just found your channel yesterday because I looked up how to increase speed in long distance running after I ran my first 10 km in my life. Not a long distance in terms of what I understand you've been doing but still an accomplishment for myself and I can't wait to see what my body can do next. Can't wait to learn from your videos too. I wish you all the best in everything! ❤
You have no idea how important you have been for me. As someone struggling with ED, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, for their entire life, you have taught me so much about good relationships with food and movement, having fun with it and actually enjoying yourself in fitness and Life. Thank you for being such a positive figure for me.
Balling my eyes out!!! Natacha, you (and Mario) will be missed so much! You've certainly been one of the biggest inspirations to me - you radiate positivity, kindness, fearlessness and I adore your sense of humour! Best of luck for whatever the future holds for you, I know you'll make a success of it!
I think part of the reasons why I love running is because I learned how to from you. It is now my run away into magic when the world feels too much and my source of happiness, mental and physical health. Let aside running is now part of me, I learned so much more from you when I most needed it. As a woman-of-science to be, your channel was always my way to go. I couldn't thank you enough, we're gonna miss you quite a lot :( but we'll always keep what you taught us. At least I, I will never forget. ❤ Ily.
Natacha, you are the reason that I healed. I’m not sure that I would still be living if it weren’t for your presence. Thank you for sharing your heart.
Thank you for all your years of education and entertainment!! I found your channel in the first lockdown and it became such a comfort for me. Wishing you all the best with your future projects 💖💖
Thank you. Whenever I have been sad, bored, demotivated or motivated, you have been my safe haven, my go-to. Not only are you the only profile I truly trust when it comes to health and fitness advice, but you (and Mario) are witty, wise and I frankly can’t get enough of seeing what you share of your life. I find it sad, but the inspiration you have given me is of eternal worth, and I truly hope you will get some rest, peace and get to do something that gives you meaning. The amount of times I have rewatched your videos is not even funny, and I’m certain I’m not about to stop doing that. Went onto your page and bought two more programmes now that they are on sale, just in case. So now I have 7 of them, plus the recipe guides. Safe to say I wont be rid of you. Love you, friend xx
Thank you all for teaching me so much. You’ve been the best friends I could have hoped for and more, and I hope our paths cross again one day 🤍🌸
We are going to miss you so much. Thank you for taking us through this journey. We’ve enjoyed it all🥺💙
You’ve genuinely changed my life for the better. And I think Im not alone in that. I look forward to all of your content and you radiate such a good energy and vibe. I wish I could meet you in person and tell you that! You will be missed, but you should always follow your heart ❤
You changed my life for the better. You helped me overcome a lot and understand the science behind nutrition and exercising. I’ve been healing from years of ED and you played a big part in it. Thank you ❤️ going to miss you but I hope your videos will stay up so I can refer to them when I need, because I have been and always will ❤️
You’ve changed my whole perspective on exercise Natacha, you changed my life! Your vlogs brought me so much joy 😭 I’m happy you’re following your gut and hope you’re happy 💖💖
❤❤❤❤❤❤
A shame to lose one of the few positive, science backed, trustworthy creators! All the best!
Well said.
True!
Yes :(
your presence on this site will be sorely missed. you were one of the best parts of youtube
You all made this place such a happy one for me. I could never thank you enough, and I hope your life is so full of love 🤍
@@natachaoceanelove you girl❤ you’re the best

Miss you😢😢😢❤
To let go of a channel with 1.68.M subscribers in order to grow further as a person really shows the integrity of Natacha. I am back to lifting and being strong after watching you. Thank you.
100% agreed , she is one of the realest!
She will be back sooner than you think.
Is this yet another woman who will get married and have children and then let go of everything in life that she has built in order to be a mom and wife? If so, can we please get to the point where we discuss men not removing things in their life in order to be a dad and a husband?
I’m over this social bs construct of hiding women away in the house to only cater to a man.
If it’s tied in her actually growing and going on a new adventure, then this is amazing!
@@soilgrasswaterairsomeone has to bring home bacon and someone delivers, nurtures and raises your legacy. Women have been lied to. Both are full time jobs. Sadly, generations of kids have been brought up like this, either latch key or raised by strangers. I'm 62 and thankfully I had mom full-time when I was a kid. Mom started working again (having given up job at major phone company) in my 10th grade yr.
Division of labor and mom better with kids. But that genie will never get back in the bottle now that our society has been conned into measuring man and women financial equality separately from each other. What a mess...generation after generation following this con into frustration and regret.
@@soilgrasswaterair Sure make this about mEn BaD. Do you really, honestly believe that your father and grandfather didn't have to let go of things in order to provide for their families?
All of a sudden, i missed you, so i came here. Who else is here in September 2024?
I am. Though I have only watched a few of her videos, I like her. I miss her.
Same here
Me too
October 2024😢
November 2024, miss you Natacha ❤
Silent watcher here, you are one of the most inspirational women I've come across on this platform! Your joy, your beauty and knowledge is outstanding and you have been such a light on this platform! I'm so grateful to have known your channel and a part of you! God bless you! Wishing you all the best in your journey - THANK YOU!!!!
this comment brought me to tears... I couldn't agree more!
Couldn't agree more!❤
I completely agree with everything you said. I am also a silent watcher and I absolutely loved her content so much. She was such joy, and always brought a smile to my face. Thank you!

WHY AM I CRYING AHHHHH

A lovely sentiment whoever said it...
I’m crying now I was able to hold it in but now the dust won🥲

I know that this won't probably reach you 'cause there's such a large amount of comments, but you helped me get out of disordered eating habits when I was in a really low phase of my life and I'm really thankful for everything that you've done for me and tons of others around the world.
Omg frrr ❤️❤️ currently 7 years free. Thank you Natacha.
This makes me so happy to read! She's helped me so much in loving my body and embracing my health journey too. On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
I'm a 20-something gym bro type, literally opposite from your target demographic but still I've followed as a silent subscriber for some time - Natacha, I hope you know that your "How to Run" video was basically the spark that took me out of obesity and into the best shape of my life. I can't thank you enough!
Edit: specifically, your explanation of proper foot striking technique, heart rate / lactic threshold, and getting the right gear & mindset were the gamechanging factors. Everything clicked after that. I don’t know what your plans are going forward Natacha, but I picture you as a CEO of a running camp somewhere in a mountainous region like Patagonia or near Banff in Canada
This is awesome, way to go man. 👏🏼
Her running video also motivated me to try running more and although I've never been a good runner, I managed to run my first 5K last month and my first 5 miles this week! She is truly to thank for that.
You're literally also part of her targeted demographic, why you think you're not just because she's a women makes no sense? You're literally both gym bros in the same age bracket but she gives the scientific backed advice 🤷🏼♀️

More power to you bro!! I heavily resonated with this cause I'm 20something and I'm a bit of a gym bro too, even the video you mentioned changed the way I run as well♨️ Hope she reads this one to know just how authentic and wide her impact is! Again props to you on your journey man, much love & respect to your grind🖖🏾☕
😥😥😢😢😭😭😭
Wow. Congrats bro!
Short-form video content is one of the worst things to ever happen to the internet. It is slowly eroding people's capacity for effort, and its effects on the dopamine system are devastating and scary. The fact that you're moving away from the internet, partially because the landscape of it no longer aligns with your values, really hits home for me. I got my acceptance letter to law school this morning after being an aspiring musician for 8 years. I just don't want to be competing for people's attention any more. Thank you for everything, Natacha. Tes vidéos vont vraiment me manquer, mais je te supporte à 100% dans ta décision
Couldn’t agree more. Every time I spend any time watching short form content, I leave worse off.
Congratulations on your law school acceptance. I know I am a total stranger on the internet but I also went to law school. The day I got my acceptance was amazing. Good luck on your journey.
@@ShellTay32 Thank you dear stranger! :)
Saaaaaame 😢 I really really really wish we could disable it on the TH-cam platform. @@maddyG7414
"I just don't want to be competing for people's attention anymore". I felt that to my core!! I'm in my 2nd year of law school, I'm 32 and I feel the same!
I’m in tears. You will never know the impact you have had in my life and in my recovery journey. Love you Natasha.
You had all the self belief and the strength to make such a positive change for yourself my friend. The credit is all yours, and I love you too 🤍🤍 I hope I get to hug you in person one day
Honestly! You are such an amazing soul. 5am and your workouts will always be on repeat. Love from South Africa ❤
i am so glad I am part of generation when videos are in-depth, lenghty, informative. instead of 10sec info of whatever. i will always come back to this.
I don’t know that I’ve ever commented, but you single-handedly restored my trust and faith in creators on the TH-cam platform. I love that you turned to peer-reviewed sources, debunked fitness myths, and most importantly, were candid, vulnerable, and kind. You are one of a kind on TH-cam, and you will be missed.
All of this! The word kind standing out especially.
sobbing 😭… well said.
I have the biggest respect for her content and her approach to research. On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
you helped me heal from an ED and fall in love with movement/food again rather than having a harsh relationship with them both. thank you natacha 💗💗
My friend 🤍🤍 reading that touches my heart in a way I’ll never be able to capture with words. I don’t know how to express how happy I am for you, and how much I hope your life is full of so much goodness and love 🤍 thank you for giving me a chance to help 🌸
Same here! ❤

I really hope to meet Natacha one day🥺
I felt the exact same way 🥹
Ditto
Well said and couldn’t agree more ❤
I couldn't have worded it in a better way🥲 I wish her the best but I will definitely miss her videos❤🩹
I've been avoiding watching this video for two weeks because I preferred living in denial... This channel has been one of my absolute favorites for many years and has completely changed the way I view health, fitness, and wellness for the better. I can't even begin to describe how much of a positive impact these videos have had on me and how excited I was every time I saw a new video from Natacha pop up. Thank you Natacha for putting so much good out into the world. You are so inspiring and such a light in a space full of negativity, pressure, and misinformation! Best on the next adventure, we will miss you!!! ❤
When the job is done, move on.
And the job is very well done.
Full respect.
Damn a channel like yours CANNOT be duplicated, replicated or replaced... only been following you over the last year and I swear you are the reason I will ONE DAY be an ultrarunner. You won't need luck on your future endevours as you're a genius but I wish you well. You've impacted many.
Absolute role model. Excited for your new chapter, you deserve it all 😘
🥰
This message is like a mother letting their children into the world. You gave us knowledge, you helped us understand thinks and you being here is like emotional support. You go girl and don´t worry about us, we cheer for your future advetures and challenges.
Sobbing whilst on the bike. You’ll never know the impact you truly have on people. We love you. 🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️❤️
Coming back to this comment section to add a thank you for all the content you've put out there over the years. You'll always be one of my biggest inspirations. xo
We will be here if/when you ever decide to comeback 💞 and you leave behind an amazing catalogue of videos to re watch!!
Hey beautiful! Thank you so much, I don’t deserve you ❤❤❤ a little soul searching is what I need for now, and I hope one day life might bring us back together 🌸
Lowkey have known for a year now that you were going to move on soon, I could just feel it. Ily Natacha and you have no clue how much you have changed my relationship with the gym, and my relationship with my body. You’re such a gem! Good luck on whatever life has for you
Bless you 🤍 I love you back my friend. Sharing with you has truly been something I’ll look back on with a smile for the rest of my life. I can’t put into words how much of an honour it’s been to try to help. You deserve those happy relationships so that you can really live your life to it’s fullest.
I hope the future gives us another chance 🤍🤍🤍
Love you lots! Wishing you all the happiness on this next journey of life 🫶🏼
For me, a dad, your channel provided a way to connect with a family member who struggled with their own eating/nutrition/health and self-belief. Together we have shared your clips, laughed, challenged our beliefs, and supported each other with simple messages. Thank you, Natacha, I hope you and your loved ones have the most amazing life.
I never comment on TH-cam videos, but I have an urgency to tell you how much you’ve positively influenced me personally. I watch (and rewatch many times) all of your videos whilst working out / travelling / at home. You are one in a million Natacha! Thanks for being such an inspiration
I felt this in my soul, because same and same and same.
Please keep us updated with major life events or maybe even just a week of workouts once a year. We will literally take anything 😭 Love you
Im going to cry. We love you. Thank you for being so amazing and genuine
I really love you back. I’ve loved all the memories we’ve made together. I’m cheering for you so hard whatever happens, forever 🤍
You may not read this but I am so thankful for everything you have taught me! Your channel helped me recover from a 15 year eating disorder and finish my PhD without running my body into the ground. You taught me a whole mindset shift that fitness isn't punishment and that our bodies deserve us listening to them. Thank you and best of luck for whatever comes next!
Silent follower for years and I’m almost in tears, your videos and you at home workout programme during covid helped me lose weight, gain confidence, armed with knowledge I have taken into adulthood. Sports has become everything to me, despite being sedentary as a teen, in my early 20s I am now competing in pole vault, which brings me so so much joy, and I always say it’s because of this channel.
My brother is a pole vaulter in college right now!
Wow that is phenomenal!
Dear beautiful Natacha, I am a disabled person who has always been told, directly and indirectly, that I will never be able to be physically strong and indepedant and that I will never be able to have a strong and healthy relationship with my body. When I found your channel and heard the things you had to say about listening to your own body and believing that you can change your relationship with it and have a stronger and more healthy connection wth it, it helped motivate me to challenge the beliefs I had taken on about my body as a disabled person and now I am tronger than I have been in years and I am beginning to see my body in a completely different way and to know that I am capable of things that I never dreamed possible. Thank yu for inspiring, motivating and believing in our possibility and potential to change our lives for the better. I will always remember the gift you gave me from half way across the world. Keep being awesome. Love Lulu in New Zealand.
You sound beautiful Lulu
@@kawtharbakhach5848 thank you. That is so kind
Lulu you have such a beautiful story! Keep it up!!
@@ktdoyle7 thank you so much. I will. ❤
Lulu your emotional strength & your intelligence is absolutely stunning!

You're beyond inspiring! You can do anything! Keep staying grateful/you've got this!! 🙏🏻😊☀️
Opens TH-cam and sees Natasha has a new vid: Immediate excitement.
Reads title: Heart sinks and body freezes.
Stares at screen while processing the information.
Cries throughout the whole video.
I love you my friend. I’m sorry to put you through that. I am really hopeful that life will give us another chance some day 🫶🌸🤍
Sameeeee. I literally did a full face of makeup and it’s smeared right now from my sobbing. I love you Natasha, I hope you live your life how you want. You taught me so much about loving my body and taking care of it
@@natachaoceane Don't be sorry! You have inspired me and countless other people so much, we are forever grateful to you ❤
Part of the silent follower club! You're the best. I'll miss the you and Mario and the big time humour and smiles that you've delivered every single time. I ran my first half marathon and your videos really helped me believe in myself. Thank you and all the best for this new chapter of travelling and exploring!! 🥰
I was debating whether to write or not but I feel like it's so important you know how much you've impacted other people's lives. I struggled with anorexia since the age of 16. It took years of treatment until I finally reached the point where I truly wanted to beat my ED and that's around the time when I happened to find your channel (a good few years back). Lucky for me I found someone who based there channel on true science based and health-aimed knowledge. Following the information you provided, buying your training programs and just listening to you enabled me to face my fears and embrace a healthy way of life - training wise and eating wise. I can't express how greatly you influenced my life. You've truly been one of my greatest role-models throughout. Today I'm happy to say that I am fully recovered, love training, love my body and am learning medicine to hopefully spread a positive influence to others in the future. Thank you so much for all your time, energy and positivity. Enjoy what the future has to offer!
Beautiful message. I’m so proud of you!
Love that you shared this.
You’re speaking from my heart. Ist nearly 100% the same for me
Must say, that you really became one of those comfort channels that I came back to over and over again. The number of times that i have watched your 'what I eat in a day' 'week of workouts' videos are too many to count. Your presence and joy is so infectious even through the screen. I have taken multiple titbits to incorporate into my training and will forever be thankful for those information.
Started crying as soon as I understood that it's not a clickbait... 💔😭 I've been watching you for as long as I can remember. I'm 26 yo now and you have been on every single one of my yearly vision boards, inspiring me, and teaching me so much throughout the years...
I will forever remember the joy, love, inspiration, and knowledge your videos brought into my life. And I will be on the lookout for your Instagram posts. ♡
Thank you for everything you gave us. Enjoy your time, it is more than well deserved 🩷
Your knowledge and integrity helped me heal my broken relationship with my body, heal from a painful foot injury, crush my many half marathon goals, and much more.
Thank you for being such a beautiful and strong woman.
-Hailey, a silent watcher
Natacha, you are the reason I studied exercise science in college. I found your channel 5 years ago and fell in love with your message. Thank you for teaching me to always be curious. I will miss your videos immensely but I wish you nothing but success in your new endeavors.
You’re amazing!!! Curiosity!! Please keep it close, absorb everything you can, even if it’s not clear how it’ll be useful right now. I promise, become a learning machine and the dots will all connect one day and you’ll make such a difference with that degree. Proud of you my friend, you’re so smart 🤍🤍
@@natachaoceane Queen 🥺🥹💖 Your words mean everything!
I saw a comment that said you became “a comfort channel” for a viewer and I couldn’t agree more. Such a breath of fresh air
😭😭😭 Like many other silent watchers over the years, I feel moved to also share my gratitude. I’ve struggled with self-esteem issues, body dysmorphia, and eating disorders for most of my life. My relationship with nutrition and exercise continues to ebb, flow, and evolve. But no matter where I’ve been in my own journey, your videos have always been a positive place of uplifting and empowering inspiration. Thank you for creating such a safe space and for sharing your passion, knowledge, and belief with the world.
I’m sad to no longer receive that dose of sunshine your videos bring, but am so stoked you’re leading by example and putting yourself and your happiness first. Wishing you all the best, wherever life takes you, I know you’re going to make the most of it 💖
So, I first saw this thumbnail probably within 3 days of you posting it… and couldn’t bring myself to watch it because I didn’t want to believe it was really goodbye. I’ve watched in now, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your content. You’re truly an inspiration! And I wish you all the best with your next (and all future) chapters 💞
I never thought saying goodbye to a creator would be so diffocult. Love you and wish you all the happiness in your next chapter. Thank you, Natacha 💜
My absolute role model. I've been part of the fitness community since I was 15. Your account has been the most positive influence throughout.
10 years on, I've run 3 ultras and have just accepted a STEM PhD against all odds. You definitely influenced all of this magic 🙌🏼
This feels like losing a friend somehow. I am exactly the same with change making me cry my eyes out. I was crying my whole way through this video.
Best of luck in all of your future endeavours you wonderful woman x
Your joy, brightness and kindness will be so insanely missed. The way you make your content is literally like no other channel, honestly
If this is goodbye forever, then I will miss these videos forever. You are an angel and my favourite person on this platform and I can’t see that ever changing. You’ve improved my life immeasurably. I hope you find everything you’re looking for - you deserve the best.
I am crying 😭 But I completely understand. You have helped me through so much. When my cancer came back, I would go back to your old videos and find comfort in them ❤ I wish you all the best Natacha, you seem like such a kind human being.
You are such a warrior my friend, I am so in awe of you. Reading this has made me cry. Sometimes I wish I was better with words and I could find the ones that capture the swell of love and gratitude I feel. I’m honoured to have been by your side through such a tough time. That’s what friends are for 🤍
@@natachaoceane You truly are precious 💜 As I said a number of years ago, if you ever need a tour guide in Brussels I'll be happy to help out ☀️
I grew up with a lot of diet and fitness trauma and unlearning all of those voices took decades. Yours is the voice that replaced it. Instead of critique I hear your encouragement. Instead of harshness I hear your empathy. Instead of never enough I hear your every little bit counts. Even if you never do post again, I’ll carry your voice with me on each new PR and milestone. I might never run a marathon or become an Iron Man but training with you has given me ownership of my health back. From the bottom of my heart - thank you ❤
Im so terribly sad you have left, but so happy for your journey ahead. Thank you for helping me with my body and making me fall in love with movement. Youre incredible, i love your videos!

Thank you for pouring out your heart for us all this time. Best of luck in the future!

Genuinely gutted that you're gonna be leaving TH-cam. Been watching you since you started. Wishing you all the very best in whatever this next chapter brings you ❤ THANK YOU for everything you've done for this community!! we will miss you on here xx hope this break isn't forever xx
I've been watching your videos for 8 years, and you wouldn't believe how much you've inspired me (and so many others!). Because of you, I've competed in Olympic Weightlifting at a state level after years of hard work/barbell training, and I've signed up to run my very first marathon in Sydney this year after YEARS of living a very sedentary life in my early 20s. Thank you for showing us the smarter way to train, and spreading the joy and how fulfilling moving your body can be. You're one of the real ones and we'll miss you heaps 💖
Whenever people ask me who my inspiration is in fitness and life, I always say Natacha Océane! My go-to girl. No one else holds a candle, and that's just the honest truth. You will be missed my friend.
It's all love, science, and fun with you. Wishing you all the best in your journey forward. I hope we can meet someday❣️
literally same!! And I got at least 6 of my friends on her workout guides because I rave so much about her and how much of an inspiration she is!! On my channel, I’m trying (even though I could never fill her shoes) to help fill the gap in health, nutrition, and science that Natacha left on TH-cam ❤ I’d be honoured if you checked it out!
I love this comment section ❤ THE SUPPOOOORTTT !! Thank you, Natasha, for creating this community
Is there a "crying buckets" button? Your videos, messages and positivity really were so insipartional and fun to watch. You've been like a friend whom I never personally spoke to but there when needed. You will be sorely missed on this platform but really excited for your next life chapter. Wishing you all the best Natacha!!!
I might cry too. You’ve been the highlight of my week and my motivation to begin fitness for the last 6 years.
I’m so beyond proud of you!!! What a beautiful gift to yourself, taking care of your mind and body. I hope you enjoy it for the rest of your life. Thank you for everything Amelia 🤍🌸
I remember watching her video “how to become the person you’ve always wanted to be” at 10pm on a bike in the gym when I wasn’t feeling good about where I was. It had the most basic, IMPORTANT things to focus on; like eating and sleeping and finding the right environment, and it helped me realise that it’s the basics that the most important thing. Sad to see her go
october 2024, still doing your follow along workouts, and have been since 2020. natacha, you're the reason why i manage to keep active and keep in mind how the way you FEEL really changes you, not the way you look. you are truly amazing and i am forever changed because of you. thank you for everything.
The first time I watched one of your videos was during the COVID lockdowns, when I just needed to get off the couch. Now I'm entering an IRONMAN 70.3 next year, purely because your IRONMAN video was so unbelievably inspiring. Thanks for everything Natacha, and have a great time on your next adventures!
😭 I’m almost 50 and not your normal audience, but I followed you for years and found so much value and inspiration in your videos. And joy. You will be missed on this platform but I wish you all the best as you explore a new chapter of your life. You have made a difference.
I cant 💔 this feels the same as Jenna Marbles leaving. You have been such a joy to watch and I hope you find all the happiness you deserve and more!
Thank you for teaching us so much 🩷
You're incredible! We welcome you back with open arms if you decide to do so. Even if you just want to make some on a whim here and there. Your channel is so positive and I have learned so much from you. I also have just enjoyed watching you try to do new things. Seeing you post the good and the bad/struggles that come with life has helped me so much. To see someone as incredible as you being open and honest about all that comes in to what you do and that everyone struggles. Thank you for everything!
The speed at which I clicked this 😳😢
Same same
I know…
Me too!
Yep!
Me four ops five 5️⃣
What’s great about TH-cam is that I will get to rewatch your videos over again when I need them still. I’m sad that we won’t get new videos and to get updates on what you’re up to, but I know that I still have access to your amazing videos from the past.
I'm devastated. You've brought so much joy and inspiration to me through your videos. You've changed my life by getting me into running. We will miss you so so much Natacha, but you are so deserving of a break and the growth you are seeking.
Thank you for making us laugh, both you and Mario.

thank you so much 🙏 good luck on the journey 🏔
I’m watching this video after doing a run from Hybrid. I’m 23 years old now and going through my teenage years watching your youtube channel has been such a life saver. I understand now how important it has been to have a role model like you, a women doing sports in an ambitious yet save and smart way. Your channel has been the small oasis of information and health, and that made me not fall (too much) in the traps of diet culture and only exercising for looks that was the mainstream in the last decade. I will never be able to thank you enough. Natacha, thank you, thank you, thank you. We all wish the very best for you.
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before, but I couldn’t leave this one without saying THANK YOU! Thank you for empowering and inspiring so many young women. Thank you for being one of the only trustworthy, no BS influencers. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and knowledge with us. You have inspired me and made me a better person in every area of my life. I first came across a video of you on Instagram, pistol squatting on a kettle bell, in a bright, matching gym set and space buns and I immediately thought ‘I need to follow this girl!!’ I have one of your Instagram videos saved where it is a compilation of you squatting, running, surfing, boxing etc. and I watch it when I need some girl boss power.
When I grow up I want to be like Natacha Océane!!!
Thank you Natacha for everything, we love you!!❤️🌸
I juat cried my eyes out. It feels like saying goodbye to a best friend. But just like with a best friend, I am so proud of you and happy for you that you are doing this for yourself. So much love and support from Denmark. Always ❤️❤️✨
Thank you for everything❤️ you changed a lot of lifes. And you made me believe in myself a lot. I wish you all the best ❤️ thank you
You are the reason I've stuck with training for the past 4 years when I found your channel. Thank you for all you've given to girls and women in sports. You haven't let anyone down, you've lifted thousands of people up. Wish you all the best!
I went through cancer 5 years ago. Started watching your videos to hopefully get my fitness back up. I just completed my first marathon 3 days ago finishing at 3:56:22. I seriously couldn’t have done it without you! I love you!! Cheers to your fulfilling future whatever it may be!🥂
Thanks for inspiring me ❤ I’m in cancer treatment now, and it’s been a struggle to accept what my body can and can’t do now. Looking forward to going back to running (and building from the ground up) when treatment ends in a few weeks
Jesus! That's so impressive
I've recommended your channel to a LOT of other women who were afraid to do resistance training, didn’t understand nutrition, and just needed a good, science-based resource. I'll continue to recommend you as long as your videos are available. Thank you for the positive, educational inspiration. Best to you in whatever you choose to do!
You helped me find my love for exercise: exercising due to loving my body/health versus exercise due to hating the way I look. Always so grateful for your creativity, fearlessness, and kindness!!!
Genuine genuine genuine. I’m 25 now but I remember watching your videos when I first started getting into fitness and working out @18 y/o. Always followed since then to now but haven’t seen your vids for about two years and I get an update saying goodbye… thank you for your inspiration, your unique functional training (that influenced MY TRAINING) and being you!! Goodluck on your future endeavors!!
I started watching your videos a couple of months after my dad died. I was devastated; I didn't work out nor take care of my nutrition. Your videos helped me get back on track. THANK YOU! 🌸
I found her channel under the same circumstances. I am forever grateful for the content that saved me and helped me feel good again.
❤❤❤
Noooooooo 😭 actually heartbroken 😞 have always been my favourite fitness TH-camr I’m going to miss your videos so much! ❤️
I’m so sorry, I hate the thought of disappointing you. I just need time to soul search and think about life and I hate the thought of leaving and not telling you how special you are. I don’t know what the future holds but I hope it’ll bring us back together in some way 🤍🌸
@@natachaoceane
Though we will miss you, you deserve your time dear
Hope it brings you amazing things 😊
@@natachaoceaneI do completely understand your reasoning though! You’ve helped so many of us and done some amazing things 🩷 all the best natacha and hopefully see you soon and would love to meet in person one day! ☺️
You are someone very special. Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and life. Bringing a lot of positivity and joy! You deserve this time to go and live life! Time to put yourself first and focus on what brings you happiness. I’ve really looked up to you through these years, you are an inspiration, so thank you again. I wish you all the very best
Not gonna lie I cried watching this. I'll miss you so much. Your vlogs helped me see that life could be fun and full of joy without restriction and perfectionism. You helped me value my body for what it can do rather than what size clothes it could fit into. You deserve to follow your heart and live with so much joy and fulfillment. It makes me happy to think that you are going to passionately pursue your dreams and real life relationships offline, HOWEVER I will really miss the life updates, the funny vlogs and clips of cooking with Mario. I will miss it A LOT. Don't ever hesitate to pop back in and update us even if it's just a 20 minute unedited clip! Apart from the amazing quality content that you have provided us, I know a lot of us follow you for your heart and your personality. Sending so much love!! Thank you for everything, friend. Follow your heart always!!
I did not expect to cry this early in the morning. Natacha, you have changed my life in more ways than I could ever explain here. You are the reason I recovered from my eating disorder. you are the reason I have a healthy relationship with food and exercise, and you're the reason I got in to strength training. I truly do not know where id be without you. thank you for everything you've done. I think I can speak for all of us when I say I am so beyond grateful for you and am happy you're doing what's best for you! we will always support you no matter what, because you've been there for us all these years. I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you've done. Best of luck on this next chapter in your life ❤️
i remember the first video of yours i watched in like 2019...
i was in the midst of an ED and clicked on one of your "what i eat in a day" videos looking for ways to fuel my ED - and what i found set me on a path of healing. You are truly inspiring, warm, caring and genuinely a huge comfort and role model to me.
i cant thank you enough for the influence you've had on my life, and i really hope to see random updates to see you again.
Sending so much love...ok I'm gna go cry now 😅❤
TH-cam is losing one of the GOATs 😢 going to miss you and your videos so so much! Please don’t stop posting on Instagram, even if it’s just bits and pieces of your day and you and Mario’s silly banter. We love you guys so much. Please leave all your videos up because I’ll be rewatching so many of them ❤️ I hope you’ll be back one day. You’re such an inspiration and a positive light in this world.
This is the first video of yours I've watched. It has made such an impression on me, and my hopes for women of all ages. From it I learned about what you've been doing for more than nealy two decades to help girls and women find ways to gain the emotional and physical strength so vital to our abilities to achieve our many, many goals. I'm looking forward to looking back on your cannon of work to find inspiration for myself and my 25 year old daughter. We are all, whatever our age, on the same journey. I wish you the very best in your pursuits. You have been and will continue to be a treasure to so, so many women.
Goodbye, my friend. Life your live to the fullest, we will always cheer for you as much as you cheered for us all. Thank you so so so much for all the work and the time and the love you have put into this channel and guides and the project in general. This one is truly one of the most beautiful communities in TH-cam. Much much love and best wishes❤❤
Oh Natacha, you brought me to tears when you mentioned the STEM scholarship. You’ve been beside me through getting my PhD and I loved connecting with your STEM side in your Science Explained videos! Can’t wait to keep supporting all your future endeavours from the sideline. Thanks for being my favourite and most inspiring influencer. Big sister energy 👭🏼💕
Thanks to you, I returned to education to do a Biochemistry degree because you inspired me to want to understand and critically think about science. I've now realised I am capable, and I'm going on to study graduate medicine to best help as many people as possible, so thank you - you've made my life 10000x better
Thank you for your amazing videos; the knowledge, the workouts to follow and for your optimism! You're always a pleasure to watch and will be missed. Enjoy your travels! You deserve it!
I truly can't explain how much your channel helped me. As a young athlete in anorexia recovery you showed me a healthy balance of food, exercise, rest and life. You showed me how I want to live, and in my bad days you helped me to keep pushing to create the life I want. Today I'm in a completely different place and my life are so much better, really thanks to you ❤ I can't express how much I'll miss your videos but I also feel like I'm now in a place where I can deal with anything by myself. I truly can't thank you enough for everything that you've done for me, without even knowing ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's so amazing, congratulations on recovering!! That takes so much strength
Thank you for all your years of hard work! You've given so many women the confidence and knowledge to pursue their fitness and life goals! You're the absolute best. ❤❤ wish you all the luck in this next chapter of your life.
Noooooo😭😭😭 Girl you got me in tears in 12 seconds 😂 all the best with everything. You are a beautiful soul and thank you for sharing that with us❤
I just found your channel yesterday because I looked up how to increase speed in long distance running after I ran my first 10 km in my life. Not a long distance in terms of what I understand you've been doing but still an accomplishment for myself and I can't wait to see what my body can do next. Can't wait to learn from your videos too. I wish you all the best in everything! ❤
You have no idea how important you have been for me. As someone struggling with ED, body dysmorphia, gender dysphoria, for their entire life, you have taught me so much about good relationships with food and movement, having fun with it and actually enjoying yourself in fitness and Life. Thank you for being such a positive figure for me.
Balling my eyes out!!! Natacha, you (and Mario) will be missed so much! You've certainly been one of the biggest inspirations to me - you radiate positivity, kindness, fearlessness and I adore your sense of humour! Best of luck for whatever the future holds for you, I know you'll make a success of it!
I think part of the reasons why I love running is because I learned how to from you. It is now my run away into magic when the world feels too much and my source of happiness, mental and physical health. Let aside running is now part of me, I learned so much more from you when I most needed it. As a woman-of-science to be, your channel was always my way to go. I couldn't thank you enough, we're gonna miss you quite a lot :( but we'll always keep what you taught us. At least I, I will never forget. ❤ Ily.
I still can't force myself to watch this in full, it's too heartbreaking 😭😭😭😭 I hope you're well and thriving tho my lovely. x
Natacha, you are the reason that I healed. I’m not sure that I would still be living if it weren’t for your presence. Thank you for sharing your heart.
A dark day, TH-cam has lost a beautiful and positive soul. Hope you find your bliss❤
lmaooo she will be back its all about $$$$$$$$
Thank you for all your years of education and entertainment!! I found your channel in the first lockdown and it became such a comfort for me. Wishing you all the best with your future projects 💖💖
Thanks for the effort you put in this channel.
Thank you. Whenever I have been sad, bored, demotivated or motivated, you have been my safe haven, my go-to. Not only are you the only profile I truly trust when it comes to health and fitness advice, but you (and Mario) are witty, wise and I frankly can’t get enough of seeing what you share of your life. I find it sad, but the inspiration you have given me is of eternal worth, and I truly hope you will get some rest, peace and get to do something that gives you meaning. The amount of times I have rewatched your videos is not even funny, and I’m certain I’m not about to stop doing that. Went onto your page and bought two more programmes now that they are on sale, just in case. So now I have 7 of them, plus the recipe guides. Safe to say I wont be rid of you. Love you, friend xx
