Personalized nutrition support for postpartum recovery and feeling like yourself again
Featured in
I’m Heather Bauer, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and I work with women who are navigating the postpartum period and want thoughtful nutrition support as they recover, care for a newborn, and adjust to a new normal.
After pregnancy, there’s often pressure to “bounce back,” even while you’re exhausted, healing, and adjusting physically and emotionally. This page is for women who want guidance that prioritizes recovery, nourishment, and long-term health without guilt or extremes.

Common Nutrition Challenges After Pregnancy
Many women come to me postpartum feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start. You might be experiencing:
Fatigue and low energy
Hunger that feels unpredictable
Difficulty losing pregnancy weight
Concerns about eating enough while breastfeeding
Feeling disconnected from your body
Postpartum nutrition isn’t about rushing weight loss. It’s about supporting healing, energy, and confidence at a pace that makes sense.
Why Nutrition Matters After Pregnancy
Your body goes through significant changes after pregnancy. Nutrition plays a key role in:
physical recovery and healing
energy and mood
milk supply for breastfeeding mothers
supporting gradual, sustainable weight changes
Restrictive diets during this time can backfire, leaving you depleted and frustrated. The right approach supports your body while respecting the demands of this stage of 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.
