E220 Why Your Morning Nutrition Might Be Draining You with Tess Cheng

Denise Eckert

Tess Cheng is a certified health and wellness coach with over 13 years of experience, passionate about empowering individuals to thrive through all stages of life with sustainable wellness practices. With a background in Clinical Nutrition from NYU and personal experience managing hypoglycemia and a family history of diabetes, Tess knows firsthand the importance of building lasting habits that support energy, resilience, and long-term health. 

In this episode:

  • Tess shares how our mornings can make or break our energy for the day — and how a few small tweaks can change everything.
  • She explains why water (not coffee!) should be your first sip of the day and how hydration fuels your brain and body.
  • Tess talks about why protein beats sugary cereals every time — and how easy it is to make a breakfast that actually keeps you full.
  • She gives simple ideas for fast, yummy shakes that are packed with protein and flavor — no sugar crash included!
  • Tess shares why reading food labels is key (spoiler: “healthy” cereals might not be so healthy).
  • She chats about her favorite go-to snacks for busy days — think raw nuts, nut butters, and quick bites that travel well.
  • Tess reminds us not to overcomplicate things — start with one small change, keep it doable, and let it build from there.
