The Go-To Routines and Rituals of Daphne Javitch
- Share:
Through her health practice Doing Well, the integrative nutritionist Daphne Javitch has built a cult following around her one-on-one coaching and subscription service that includes video conversations with her fashionable friends (the jewelry designer Sophie Buhai, the fashion designer Rachel Comey, the food artist Laila Gohar), topic-driven sessions on different health subjects (aging, sex, backmapping), and recipes (halibut and caper sauce, tomato sauce, brothy avocado). A large part of her appeal is her fashion-adjacent vibe, paired with her homey, relatable, no-frills presentation approach (her husband, Pali Xisto Cornelsen, often makes casual cameos in her videos and on her Instagram feed). There’s an arty, stylistic aesthetic to her practice, but it’s not airbrushed, nor does it reek of pretension. As she tells The Slowdown, “One of my goals is to not be annoying. I feel like a lot of the language around this subject can be really off-putting and tone-deaf.”
