I’m Heather Bauer, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and I work with women who are navigating perimenopause and menopause and feel like their bodies no longer respond the way they used to.

If weight gain feels harder to manage, energy feels unpredictable, or your usual routines suddenly aren’t working, you’re not imagining it. Hormonal shifts during this phase of life change how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and exercise.

This page is for women who want informed, practical nutrition guidance that helps them feel better and regain a sense of control.

Common Nutrition Challenges During Perimenopause and Menopause

Many women come to me during this phase feeling confused, frustrated, or discouraged. You might be experiencing:

  • Weight gain or redistribution despite unchanged habits

  • Increased cravings or loss of appetite control

  • Low energy, poor sleep, or brain fog

  • Digestive changes or bloating

  • Feeling like nothing works the way it used to

These changes aren’t a personal failure. They’re a biological shift that requires a different approach.

Why Nutrition Needs Change During Menopause

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause affect:

  • metabolism

  • muscle mass

  • insulin sensitivity

  • appetite regulation

Advice that worked earlier in life often falls short now. Many women are told to “just eat less” or “work out more,” which can backfire and leave them feeling depleted.

Nutrition during this stage needs to support your hormones, energy, and long-term health, not punish your body.

About Me

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 20 years of experience helping women lose weight, navigate major life transitions, and build a healthier relationship with food.

I’ve worked with thousands of women in midlife who want to feel better, stronger, and more like themselves again. My work is grounded in evidence-based nutrition, but always tailored to real life and the realities of a changing body.

I don’t believe in extremes or rigid plans. I believe in helping you eat in a way that supports your hormones, your health, and your lifestyle so you can feel well and confident in this stage of life.

I’m also the author of multiple best-selling nutrition books, and my work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Today, and other national media outlets. This experience shapes how I coach women through menopause, blending clinical knowledge with practical strategies that actually work in everyday life.

Stop mindlessly inhaling the breadbasket and stop shoveling in the M&M'S–Bread is the Devil is the solution to all of our diet saboteurs.

Nutritionist Heather Bauer can count on the fingers of one hand the number of her clients who don't already know what they should eat to lose weight. So why can’t they (and their best friend and their neighbor) lose weight? Because Bread is the Devil! Yes, that's Bauer’s shorthand for the inevitable, demonic pull that certain bad habits exert on people who try to change their eating routines to drop the pounds.

The Wall Street Diet helps readers lose weight, keep it off, and still keep up with their busy lives.

Heather Bauer knows there aren't enough hours in the day for you to focus on the details of a complicated weight loss plan. A registered dietitian with a thriving practice in New York City, her clients have high-pressure jobs in high-profile fields: CEOs, Wall Street brokers, producers, doctors, lawyers, editors--fast-track workers at every level. These time-starved professionals don't have time to count calories or weigh food, but with Bauer's breakthrough weight loss plan they've been able to shed their extra pounds and enjoy a healthy new lifestyle.
