The Private Nutritionist Trusted by Women Who Expect More

I’m Heather Bauer, RDN — a private nutritionist, best-selling author, and coach to women who are done with diets, meds, and one-size-fits-all plans.

If you're looking for sustainable weight loss without weight loss medications, insurance restrictions, inexperienced providers, or apps that treat you like a number... you're in the right place.

About Me

I’ve spent the last 20 years helping high-achieving women lose weight and change their relationship with food — for good.

My approach is simple but powerful:

One-on-one coaching that’s personalized, practical, and actually works with your life.

You won’t find diets, gimmicks, or medications here.

You’ll get support, strategies, and sustainable results that last.

Why Choose Me Over Insurance Dietitians or Weight Loss Medications?

When it comes to achieving your weight loss goals, the options can be overwhelming. Let’s break down the differences between working with me, an insurance-based dietitian, and using prescription weight loss medications so you can make the best choice for you.

  • Perfect for: Women who want a tailored, sustainable solution with one-on-one support.

    What You Get:

    • A 100% personalized plan tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

    • Ongoing support and accountability through unlimited text/email access and weekly private Zoom sessions.

    • Real-world solutions for dining out, traveling, or managing a busy schedule.

    • Coaching that addresses emotional eating, stress, and triggers—the root causes of weight gain.

    • Expert guidance from a registered dietitian with 20+ years of experience and thousands of successful clients.

    • A focus on building sustainable habits that keep the weight off for good.

    Advantages:

    • No side effects, no medications—just natural, lasting results.

    • Highly personalized coaching that adapts as your needs change.

    • Tools and skills to manage your health for life.

    Drawbacks:

    Investment required: While I don’t accept insurance, my services deliver exceptional value that goes beyond basic nutrition advice.

  • Perfect for: Women who need a basic/generic plan and limited support from a provider with an average of 3-5 years of experience

    What You Get:

    • Typically limited, one-size-fits-all plans based on standard guidelines.

    • Appointments often last 15 minutes, with minimal follow-up or accountability.

    • A lower-cost option for those with insurance coverage.

    Advantages:

    • Can be cost-effective if covered by insurance.

    • Access to credentialed dietitians.

    Drawbacks:

    • Generic advice: Plans may not be tailored to your unique lifestyle or challenges.

    • Limited support between sessions—often no real-time coaching or guidance.

    • Time constraints: Sessions are often short and focused on meeting insurance requirements rather than your long-term goals.

    • May require referrals or insurance approval, adding to the hassle.

    • Providers typically have an average of 5 years of experience

  • Perfect for: Individuals looking for a medical solution to jumpstart weight loss, particularly those with obesity-related health concerns.

    What You Get:

    • A pharmaceutical approach that suppresses appetite and promotes weight loss.

    • Results that are often quick and noticeable in the short term.

    Advantages:

    • Effective for reducing appetite and initiating weight loss.

    • May be covered by insurance for certain individuals.

    Drawbacks:

    • Side effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue are common.

    • High cost: If not covered by insurance, medications can cost thousands of dollars annually.

    • Weight often returns after stopping the medication unless lifestyle changes are made.

    • Does not address emotional eating, habits, or triggers, leading to potential relapse.

    • Requires ongoing prescriptions and doctor visits

I work with women who:

  • Want personalized, concierge-level care

  • Don’t trust or want “covered by insurance” options

  • Have tried diets, meds, and programs that didn’t stick

  • Want a real human — not an app, portal, or chatbot

  • Are ready for a plan that works in the real world (work dinners, vacations, kids, life!)

If that sounds like you, we should talk.

Let’s talk about your situation

My books

 

Bread is the Devil

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

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.

FAQs

  • I work privately and do not accept insurance. This allows me to provide a higher level of access and personalized care than what’s possible through insurance-based programs. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds for my services — and I’m happy to provide a coded bill that you can submit to your insurance carrier for reimbursement

  • Every plan includes weekly one-on-one Zoom sessions, daily accountability check-ins via text, personalized strategies for your lifestyle, and real-time support to help you succeed in the real world — whether you're traveling, dining out, or navigating family life.

  • Great question. Weight loss meds can suppress appetite, but they don’t teach you how to eat, think, or live around food. And most insurance-covered dietitians are overbooked, under-supported, and stuck following generic plans.

    I work one-on-one with each client to create sustainable strategies that empower you — not just treat symptoms. My clients get results without side effects or feeling like a number.

  • That depends on your goals and your starting point — but most clients begin seeing progress within the first few weeks. More importantly, they gain tools and habits they can sustain for life. If you've struggled with consistency or rebounding after diets or meds, this program was made for you.

  • No diets. No deprivation. My approach is all about creating structure and flexibility — not rules. I’ll show you how to make informed, satisfying food choices that fit your body, your preferences, and your lifestyle.

  • That’s exactly who I work with — women who are successful in so many areas of life but feel stuck when it comes to food and their bodies. What makes this different is the level of personalization and the relationship we build. You won’t be doing this alone.

  • We’ll talk one-on-one over Zoom. I’ll ask about your goals, your challenges, and your lifestyle, and we’ll see if my approach is the right fit for you. There’s no pressure — just a real conversation.

  • Trust me. I love people and human contact! However after many years of offices and consistent feedback from my clients that working with me via video and text is more convenient and effective than in person, I decided to change my format to be exclusively remote. I get (and respect) that some people want face-to-face. If that’s you, I’m not the best fit.

Limited Availability - Let’s Connect

I work with a small number of private clients to give them the time, energy, and accountability they deserve.

If you're serious about making a change — not just for now, but for life — I’d love to meet you.

Let’s talk and see if this is the right fit.
