Students are exposed to nutrition advice every day, whether it is accurate or not.

Loved your nutrition presentation today and found it very interesting, inspirational and almost life changing.
Year 8 student
Loved by students, trusted by staff
Staff testimonial, Marist Catholic
We found it extremely worthwhile and your information we found to be most importantly to us, both valid and reliable.
Students and staff alike took away something new from the presentation, which provoked some great conversations to follow up with in the classroom.
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’.
Such an important message. Setting our students up for making balanced health choices throughout their lives.
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.
Dietitians. Educators. Real talk.
Alex Parker and Anna Morgan are Accredited Practising Dietitians and co-founders of The Biting Truth. Between them they have spent over two decades working in nutrition, including more than ten years each in the high school space.
Both have their own complicated histories with food. They know firsthand what it feels like to grow up navigating confusing messages about eating, bodies, and what "healthy" is supposed to look like. Fuel Your Potential is, in many ways, the program they wish someone had delivered to them at school.
They are also both mothers to daughters. That is not background detail. It is the reason this work matters to them the way it does.
Every Fuel Your Potential school gets Alex or Anna personally on the call, in the room, and behind every session delivered.
Frequently asked questions
Can a dietitian speak at our school wellbeing day?
Yes. Our Accredited Practising Dietitians deliver whole cohort presentations or small group workshops, so a session can anchor a wellbeing day or sit within a PDHPE unit or Food Tech class. You choose the year group and topic, and sessions run for 60 or 90 minutes.
How is this different from a one-off guest speaker?
A one-off talk gives students information. Our programs are built around behaviour change. The Whole School Program links three progressive workshops, one per stage, with post-session lesson plans for teachers and an impact report for your leadership team. The Single Year Workshop is a good starting point if you want to begin with one year group.
Is it aligned to the curriculum?
Yes. Sessions are mapped to the PDHPE and HPE curriculum in every Australian state and territory, and complement Food Technology. The Program Overview includes a Scope & Sequence showing which outcomes each session supports.
How does this differ from what we’re already doing through PDHPE or our current wellbeing provider?
PDHPE covers nutrition as curriculum content. It was never designed to change behaviour, address the specific pressures students face from social media, or give staff the tools to handle difficult conversations safely. Fuel Your Potential builds across three year levels with a structured progression, so what a student learns in Year 7 is reinforced and deepened by Year 11, not repeated.
Who delivers the sessions?
All our staff are Accredited Practising Dietitians, trained in eating disorder informed practice. All presenters hold a current Working With Children Check.
Is it safe for students with eating disorders or food anxiety?
Yes. All content is developed in line with eating disorder-informed practice. We never discuss weight, calories, restriction or clean eating. Our approach builds positive relationships with food, not rules around it. If your school has students with known eating concerns, we are experienced in delivering sessions that are safe for the whole cohort and happy to talk through your specific context before booking.
Can we start with one component and expand, or is it all-or-nothing?
You can start with one session. There is no lock-in. The full framework is where the long-term impact compounds, but we would rather a school experience one session and see what it does than feel pressured into a commitment they are not ready for.
What does implementation actually require from our staff in terms of time and coordination?
Minimal. You need one point of contact to coordinate session dates and logistics. We handle all content, materials, and delivery.
How does this fit into our existing wellbeing calendar?
Fuel Your Potential is designed to slot into what you already have, not replace it. Sessions are 60 to 90 minutes each and can sit inside a wellbeing day, a PDHPE block, Food Tech, a pastoral care period, or a dedicated incursion slot. Term 2 and Term 4 fill fastest, so we recommend booking a term ahead.
How many students can you take, and which year groups?
Years 7 to 12, with age-specific content at each stage. Presentations suit a whole year group. Workshops and experiential sessions run in smaller groups for more discussion, and we can split by gender. Adjacent year groups (e.g. Years 9 and 10) can be combined into one session.
How much does it cost?
It depends on year groups, student numbers and format. Fill in the form and we will send a tailored proposal. Anna or Alex will be in touch within one business day.
Do you travel outside Sydney?
Yes. We work with schools across Australia, and offer virtual sessions anywhere in the country.
