Fueling our bodies = fueling our minds 💚🏀

MUCC and Be HERD recently partnered with Alicia May, owner of 3rd Ave Nutrition, and Maura Hohl, Marshall Athletics Dietician, for an event focused on helping student‑athletes better understand eating disorders and the importance of how they treat their bodies for all the hard work those bodies do in sport.

Alicia provided healthy treats—peanut butter truffle protein balls, vanilla truffle protein balls, and samples of loaded teas—while Taylor Pennington, MA, LPC, Be HERD Mental Health Specialist, and Miles Williams, MUCC Intern, shared education from Taylor’s “Eating Disorders in Collegiate Athletes” materials about warning signs, myths vs. facts, and when to seek help.

Our message: there is no shame in struggling with food or body image, and asking for help shows true strength as an athlete. If you have concerns about yourself or a teammate, reach out to MU Counseling Center or Be HERD for confidential support.
