What teachers and students say
Teacher feedback
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.

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

Before this, nutrition felt overwhelming. This session broke it down in a way that helped me stay steady through exams and stress. I walked away feeling more in control of my habits and less influenced by all the diet pressure on social media.
- Year 12 student
I never really thought about how food affects anything other than hunger. This session made me realise it changes my mood, sleep and how well I can focus. It actually made me pay attention to what helps me feel more stable day to day.
