A teenage social media personality who first gained attention at 17 for openly using PEDs is back in the spotlight. According to fitness coach and YouTuber Coach Kolton, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.
The influencer, known as Carson Schultz, is now 18 years old and has visibly deteriorated since first appearing on Kolton’s channel. What was once a controversial story about an underage kid using st**oids has evolved into something that Kolton describes as “one of the most diabolical practices” he has ever seen.
Carson is now marketing a business course promising to help online fitness coaches go from $3,000 to $10,000 months in profit using what he calls a “predictable client getting system.”
Kolton is not buying it. “Like, to pay an 18-year-old to explain to you how to make 10K a month because he got popular doing st**oids online and rage baiting is an insane consideration,” he said in his latest video.
He went on to question whether Carson has any real business knowledge, asking, “Does this kid have a CPA, a tax agent? Does he know how to actually acquire clients, do marketing, run ads? Does he know how to scale a business proportionately, hire employees, figure out pay structures, bonuses? Does he know how to file W2s? Does he know how to file health insurance and social security?”
Kolton notes that his gynecomastia has nearly doubled in size since their last video, and he is now experiencing lactating nipples, severe cystic acne, pitting skin, staph infections, and accelerated aging.
From a medical standpoint, Kolton explains that elevated estrogen levels from aromatizing testosterone are likely driving the gyno development, and that the same elevated estrogen could be causing premature closure of growth plates, potentially affecting Carson’s final height permanently.
Beyond the physical side effects, Kolton points to research suggesting PED use in teenagers alters brain development in regions like the amygdala and hippocampus, leading to increased impulsivity, aggression, anxiety, and reduced executive functioning.
“Early onset users were more impulsive and demonstrated deficits in effective processing, behavioral disinhibition, and planning,” Kolton cited from a published study on the topic.
Carson still continues to post online. Rather than demonstrating any fitness or business expertise, his viral moments consist of rage bait clips and discussions about his own side effects, including a video addressing his testicular atrophy that has garnered significant commentary online.
As Kolton puts it, Carson has effectively locked himself into a corner. He said, “When you make your entire online persona about taking gear, what else is there? You follow a form of a self-fulfilling prophecy hoping that you continue to make it big and keep doing more irrational and just ultimately dumb things to get more virality.”
