7 Questions with Daphne Javitch
Daphne Javitch is the founder of Doing Well, a health coaching practice and membership community built on the belief that a vibrant life should be doable — not something that requires overhauling your entire life to achieve. A born-and-raised New Yorker now based in Los Angeles, Daphne spent years working in fashion, an industry that taught her to see her body as a problem to fix, until a health crisis led her to a different path: after healing from severe endometriosis through an integrative approach, she became certified by the Hippocrates Health Institute as a Health Educator and launched her private coaching practice in 2015. Since then, she's spent a decade guiding clients, from burned-out executives to new parents, toward small, consistent habits that create real, lasting change, all while raising her own two kids in LA. In this interview, she shares what "doing well" really means, why she swears by bloodwork over guesswork, and the one simple habit that could change how you feel by next week.

NN: What does doing well actually mean to you — not as a brand, but as a way of living?
DJ: To me, doing well means moving through life with more ease- feeling agile, capable, resilient, empowered, and at peace.
NN: You coach everyone from burned-out executives to new parents. What's the pattern you see in everyone who actually gets well?
DJ: Small actions, consistency, and a gentle return to routine when life interrupts.

NN: You're raising two kids in LA while running a health practice. What does a realistic "healthy family dinner" look like in your house on a Tuesday?
DJ: Rice, beans (we use slow cooked canned!), sauteed kale, and a beet salad. Or a simple fish served with roasted potatoes, pan-seared broccolini, and a green salad.
NN: You spent years in fashion — an industry that's complicated about bodies. How did that shape the way you think about health now?
DJ: Back then I felt my body was a problem to solve. Now I know it's on my side. It wants to heal. And I can help or hinder that.

NN: What's a wellness habit you swear by that most people would never expect from you?
DJ: Gravity Woods method colonics.
NN: The supplement aisle is chaos. What's the one thing you always check before buying anything?
DJ: My bloodwork!
NN: What's the most underrated thing a person could do today to actually feel better by this time next week?
DJ: Drink one liter of water by noon every day.
