I’m Heather Bauer, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and I work with women who want clear, trustworthy nutrition guidance during pregnancy without overwhelm, guilt, or extremes.

Pregnancy comes with a flood of advice, rules, and opinions. What to eat. What to avoid. How much weight is “right.” It’s easy to feel anxious or second-guess every decision.

This page is for women who want evidence-based, personalized nutrition support that helps them feel confident, nourished, and supported throughout pregnancy.

Common Nutrition Challenges During Pregnancy

Many women come to me during pregnancy feeling unsure or overwhelmed. You may be wondering:

  • Am I eating the right foods for my baby?

  • How much weight should I really gain?

  • What if I’m nauseous or have no appetite?

  • How do I manage cravings or aversions?

  • How do I balance nutrition with real life and work?

Pregnancy nutrition doesn’t need to be rigid or stressful, but it does need to be intentional.

Why Nutrition Is Especially Important During Pregnancy

During pregnancy, your body’s needs change rapidly. Nutrition plays a key role in:

  • fetal development

  • energy and blood sugar stability

  • digestion and comfort

  • supporting a healthy pregnancy and recovery

Generic advice often misses the nuance of your individual body, lifestyle, and symptoms. The right approach supports both you and your baby without unnecessary restriction or fear.

“Heather helped me feel confident about how I was eating during my pregnancy. I gained a healthy amount of weight, felt well throughout, and went into postpartum feeling strong instead of depleted. Her guidance made nutrition feel simple and manageable during a time that can feel overwhelming.”

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!

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.
