The 38 Years Old Daughter of Dr. Oz Was Born In Pennsylvania and Raised In New Jersey

Named Daphne Nur Oz, this Dr. Oz’s daughter was born on the 17th of February 1986, and her place of birth was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Reports have it that she almost died at birth as the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck. Her chances of surviving were so low that her Apgar score was only 2.

Somehow she pulled through and survived as the first of the four children born to Mehmet and Lisa Oz. Her father, professionally known as Dr. Oz, is a cardiothoracic surgeon and university professor famed as a television personality and an author. His wife Lisa is also an author and a radio/television personality who co-hosts The Dr. Oz Show from time to time.

Daphne isn’t the only child of her famous parents, she has three younger siblings named Arabella, Zoe, and Oliver. Their ancestry has been traced to the Circassian tribe in Israel, Shapsug; to Turkey where their paternal grandfather emigrated from, and to Italy as their mother Lisa is of Italian descent.

Although Oz was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it was in Cliffside Park, New Jersey, that she was raised. She attended Dwight-Englewood School, an independent coeducational college-preparatory school in Englewood, Bergen County, New Jersey. When she graduated in 2004, she proceeded to a prestigious private Ivy League university in Princeton, New Jersey.

At Princeton University, Daphne obtained a degree in Near Eastern Studies, this was in 2008. She would later attend the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and obtain a culinary degree from The Natural Gourmet Institute.

She made most of her wealth from the books she has published, her career as a television host, and her public speaking engagements. For six seasons, Daphne Oz was one of the five hosts of The Chew, a cooking-themed talk show that aired on ABC for seven seasons.

As an author, she has published at least five books which have been a steady stream of income for her. Her first titled The Dorm Room Diet: The 10-Step Program for Creating A Healthy Lifestyle Plan That Really Works was a national bestseller.

A member of the Next Generation Leaders Advisory Council at The McCain Institute for International Leadership, John Jovanovic has served several other organizations in different capacities; including EastWest Institute, Mercuria Energy Trading S.A., Pin Oak Terminals, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.
