Tinger Hseih Proves Healthy Eating Can Be a Delicious Affair
Meet the creator of Dash of Ting — the food and travel blog that offers advice for health-conscious individuals looking for exquisite regional cuisines and exciting adventures
When considering healthy fare, the first words that come to mind are not usually “delicious” or “culturally diverse.” In fact, many of us have resigned ourselves to believe that health and weight loss are synonymous with restriction and bland “diet” food. Tinger Hseih, a lifelong foodie, set out to lose weight and discovered a beautiful truth along the way. She realized that not only could she gain health and vibrancy through eclectic and tasty cuisine, but that many others wanted to learn from her experiences along the way. Jump to today, and Hseih has been featured in travel and food media with heavy hitters such as Matador Network, Thrillist, Buzzfeed, and Tastemade. With a growing social media following and hugely successful food and travel blog, Hseih proves that eating healthy means eating well and loving life every step of the way.
A low-carb lifestyle helped Hseih lose over twenty pounds. She began sharing her healthy recipes on Facebook to the delight of her family and friends. When things started taking off, Hseih found herself hosting food and travel shows for Tastemade. Additionally, Hseih worked in digital advertising for Myspace and other popular platforms. Things began to take off quickly.
When the questions started rolling in about the finer details of influencer lifestyles, Hseih decided to start her own consultancy, Dash of Media. Some of her clients are influencers who struggle to negotiate their own deals or completely grasp their brand’s concept. Dash of Media is a fully integrated business solutions consultancy that provides digital marketing expertise, influencer marketing, content creation, and experiential activations. The company works with clients to develop a holistic marketing approach.
Using social media platforms, along with a fun and aesthetically rich blog, Dash of Ting, Hseih promotes cultural diversity through her simple and delectable healthy recipes. She also travels and shows followers how to stay healthy on vacation without sacrificing taste. Hseih has been to twenty-eight countries and five continents in the past thirteen years, so she knows what she is talking about! Posting her experiences from all over the world, fans get to go along with Hseih from Indonesia to Los Cabos to Thailand, learning about savory dishes from recommended restaurants. But Hseih also shares tasty recipes that are low-carb versions of popular foods like nachos and garlic French fries.
Hseih has experienced rapid growth in the short time she has been in the food and travel genre. These days, she is a top food and travel creator on the popular app, Clubhouse. Through her club, “Dish It,” Hseih hosts content creators and celebrities to share their knowledge about negotiating brand deals, scaling on social media, and industry trends in pop culture. Some popular creators have included Justin (DCFoodPorn), Chef Chris Cho, Chef Priyanka, Hyunee Eats, and Sonny (Best Ever Food Review Show). Hseih says, “Clubhouse is a great opportunity for global networking in a way that couldn’t exist without social media.”
Since joining the Clubhouse app in November 2020, gaining more than 15,000 followers, including celebrity chefs, Hseih has seen enormous growth in her network and her blog and social media traffic. “Once people witness me moderating in different rooms, they often reach out to me about upcoming events,” she says. Some of the companies inquiring are Fortune 500 CPG brands, proving she’s on the right track. Hseih has plans to continue expanding her brand, reminding her followers that eating well and having fun along the way is a very realistic expectation to have in your wellness journey.
