About Heather Frost-Malek

Welcome! My name is Heather Frost-Malek, owner and Registered Dietitian of Be and Eat Well LLC. I’m here to support you in creating healthy habits to lower your A1c and beat pre-diabetes for good! Insurances accepted: PPO BCBS/Anthem, BCBS Federal Employee Plan, Aetna, NC State Health Plan. Self-pay options available. I do not accept Medicare/Medicaid at this time. You must be located in NC, VA, IL, or CO at the time of our session. I hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin- Stout, completed my Internship in Dietetics at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and earned my Master’s in Nutrition from Meredith College in Raleigh. Whether you have pre-diabetes or a family history of diabetes, we’ll strategize to create a healthy, sustainable lifestyle that keeps you out of the diabetes range. Our goal is to keep your A1c (3-month average blood glucose) under 6.4 by focusing on lifestyle changes like healthy eating, physical activity, stress management, sleep, and weight management. Wellness isn’t just nutrition and exercise. It’s a whole-person approach tailored to what works for you. The one-size-fits-all approach common in wellness simply isn’t true. We explore mindsets, build awareness, and create actionable steps that fit your unique self. We partner together to focus on your journey—your intentions, your goals. It’s time to find your motivations and prioritize your well-being to prevent chronic conditions like diabetes. We’ll navigate this path together. I use Motivational Interviewing to ask questions, listen, provide reflections, empathy, and support to understand your desires and whys—ultimately empowering YOU. Diabetes is a condition we can influence through prevention and lifestyle intervention. Let’s use that power to establish healthy habits to age gracefully, have energy to walk, play with grandkids, travel, enjoy food you love, and prevent diabetes—for good!

She cares about making you healthier by understanding you and also making sure you do not drastically change anything about your lifestyle. At least initially. It’s rare but sometimes you click with people who understand your goal and she does.

I saw Heather for the first time recently and I love her approach! She's got lots of helpful information but more importantly, I felt like she really understood the full picture of all that I was dealing with, and honored my experience. It's rare that health care providers really listen to all the little details but I can tell she did, and I'm excited to keep working with her.

Heather is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and effective in her role. In situations that can be emotionally charged, she is very gentle while helping me make achievable and quantifiable goals. She is also good at looking at dietary and nutritional issues holistically, and is able to draw connections between this, my mental health, and other areas of my health. She makes me want to take next steps to improve my health, and I am very glad that I have signed up and continued meeting with her!

After researching a highly qualified nutritional therapist emphasizing a better quality of life and not just weight loss, I found Heather. I am thrilled to have connected with her and look forward to our continued work together. She is knowledgeable about nutrition, of course, but also whole body health. I highly recommend Heather to anyone seeking guidance and coaching in this field.

This was exactly what I was looking for! I felt like she took the time to really understand what my problem was and she took a thoughtful approach to addressing my concerns. I felt a part of the process every step of the way. Booking the appointment was extremely easy. I am recommending her to my friends and family! I spent 2 months looks for someone that accepted my insurance before I discovered Zocdoc and located her. I also loved that I could attend virtually!

Really nice conversation, I felt listened to and my concerns were heard. I'm happy I chose this provider, she gave me simple solutions for the issues I was having and responded to messages quickly. I couldn't use my insurance but the visit was affordable for me, well worth it for what I got.

Heather has been such a blessing to me on my journey to being a healthier senior. Initially I thought I wasn’t going to be able to reach my goal but with Heather’s assistance I am well on my way. She helps me to stay focused and when I fall off, she is eager to help me get back on track. It is not just about weight loss, but choices I make daily to create a body and lifestyle that brings me joy in this precious season in my life. Her program is not a one size fits all but customized for the individual. Thank you Heather for turning things around for me.
I have been working with Heather for a few weeks now and I love our chats and her support. This isn’t a program where she is going to tell you what to do. She will provide tools and guidance. She will help you figure out what works for you and what doesn’t. She is encouraging and a great listener. I am so very thankful that I have found her. She is helping me focus on me when I have always put others first! I highly recommend Heather to everyone!!
Heather is a wonderful instructor and very knowledgeable nutritionist. I learned so much during my online health classes. I now do the one on one sessions and she is always finding ways to help me be successful in my journey to eat better and be healthy. I highly recommend Heather to anyone wanting help with better nutrition and healthy lifestyle. I have maintained my healthy weight and lifestyle for almost 2 years now.
