What schools have to say
Alex was both informative and engaging
Students and staff alike took away something new from the presentation, which provoked some great conversations to follow up with in the classroom
Alex was fantastic! Engaging and informative
Such an important message. Setting our students up for making balanced health choices throughout their lives
What an interactive, informative, and impactful program
On the truth behind the science surround food, tackling myths, and the stated the importance of optimal nutrition has on our overall wellbeing. The students were engaged throughout, and took a lot away from the program, incorporating strategies that they can implement in their day to day lives. We HIGHLY recommend the team at ‘The Biting Truth’
Year 11 and 12 students this week and had a fantastic experience
We had The Biting Truth come and speak to our Year 11 and 12 students this week and had a fantastic experience. Alex was knowledgeable, engaging and provided the students with information that was useful, clear and appropriate
Alex hosted a wonderful event for our School!
The Biting Truth brought our community together over the importance of kids nutrition and I appreciate the expertise behind what was said and the way in which Alex presented her thoughts. It was so free of any judgement, which shows just how much of an incredible support Alex and her company is.
Alex from The Biting Truth was an outstanding presenter to our Year 9 students.
The content was age-appropriate, engaging, and highly educational. Alex delivered an important and relatable message about nutrition, addressing topics of nutrition, nutrients, and fad diet’s commonly shown on social media with great sensitivity and insight. Her ability to thoughtfully answer students’ questions and debunk common nutrition myths was exceptional. Our students were thoroughly engaged and took away valuable lessons from the session.
Meet our Founders
Eating well should feel normal for young people, yet most students are drowning in nutrition myths, body pressures and online noise. We started The Biting Truth to give schools a clear way through that mess.
For over 10 years, we’ve delivered practical, evidence based sessions to students in Years 7 to 12. We show them how food shapes energy, mood, focus and performance, and we replace confusion with simple tools they can use straight away.
Our approach is real world: science explained simply, stories they can relate to and hands on food experiences. We work with wellbeing teams and PDHPE staff to build nutrition confidence across whole year groups.
