Your Best Self TV With Dr. D: Spreading Success with Lifestyle Tips, Celebrity Guests and Wellness Advice
He might be a Celebrity cosmetic and facial aesthetic dentist, but Dr. Steven Davidowitz is known just as much for making people smile as he is for creating smiles with his hit show, “Your Best Self TV” with Dr. D, which airs on WLNY-1055. From fashion to food, celebrity guests, and of course, medical advice and experts, this television personality wants to bring joy into the lives of his viewers so that they too can live their best lives.
Having grown up with an affinity for health and wellness, as well as an appreciation for television as a medium, Dr. D is now able to combine these positive passions. “I love binge watching things on Netflix and HBO, but usually everything is very dark, and I get that, but I like things that make me feel good. I watched daytime television when I was lucky enough to be home during the day and saw shows that really educated people and were intended to spread happiness. I also enjoyed shows about medicine which were amazing and educational but very procedural driven like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil, and they all still had a dark or uninspiring tone to them. I thought a great solution would be to provide a show that can make viewers feel good and learn while also being entertained. Why not try to encompass everything?”
Though he had originally planned to go into medicine, Dr. D followed in his father’s dental footsteps and now runs a successful practice, Luxury Dentistry NYC, on the Upper East Side. His dream to be in front of a camera remained as strong as his desire to become a dentist, though it wasn’t until the start of the pandemic that he had time to re-envision this goal. Known for keeping patients comfortable and less anxious when they come to his office – not an easy feat for a dentist – Dr. D began to plan just how to bring this feeling to a whole new audience during these uncertain times. “The show is really meant to give joy through a diverse mix of useful lifestyle tips and inspirations. It’s two polar opposite kinds of shows where we mix celebrities and medicine. It’s the type of show where you can learn something from everybody. It’s about finding out what’s going on in somebody’s life but also figuring out how we can all live our lives better. We aim to give tips across the spectrum, from preventative measures and the world of changing medicine, and then extending to fashion and pop culture. It’s anything that gives people a purpose.”
Since the launch of the show, he’s had celebrity guests such as Dr. Andrew Ordon, Host of “The Doctors”, Suzanne Somers, Designer Nicole Miller, Caroline Aaron of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, Margaret Josephs of “Rich Housewives of New Jersey” and many more! Each guest has something to share and learn from to help Dr. D inspire viewers to live their best life.
This dedicated dentist and positive television personality, who has been so humbled by the tremendous response he has received between the viewership numbers and emails from avid watchers and fans, will be coming back into your homes for a second season in the fall after a successful first season. According to this down- to- earth dentist, he just tries to be super relatable while trying to go along on the journey with his viewers.
“I am with you as we all try to see how we can navigate our lives to realize how we can enjoy every moment. Together we learn how to destress like an entertainer as well as the importance of proper nutritional advice and cooking advice in the kitchen. My goal is that after every episode, viewers will come out with at least one thing they learned or has positively affected them. The philosophy is that we can all learn something as long as we treat everyone as an equal and teach each other as much as we can. I just feel comfortable opening others up to a lifestyle that I live myself and enjoy bringing that to the show. I describe it as a 360-degree approach to being your best self by learning how to be healthy in mind, body, and soul. I feel so fortunate that we have such a great crew of producers, directors, doctors and guests.”
Wanting to make others feel good has been a part of Dr. D’s DNA ever since he was a child. As a teenager dealing with obesity, he learned to modify his outlook by reading books and trying to learn from the behavior of others. “This is the biggest thing when it comes to being your best self. It’s so crucial to have the ability to learn and change through being educated so that you can feel good and be encouraged. You have to keep striving to be better for your family and friends, and of course, for yourself.”
With a television platform and well-known practice, Dr. D, who enjoys spending time with his wife and children, is hoping to take his wellness and lifestyle show to a whole new feel- good level – and a national market.
