Dr. Asnat Raziel

My name is Dr. Asnat Raziel, and I am truly delighted and grateful that you are here. My professional and personal journey has led me to specialize in metabolic health, obesity treatment, and longevity medicine, working at the unique intersection of medicine, body, and mind, with a clear mission: to create meaningful, lasting, and life-changing impact in the lives of my patients.

I am a specialist surgeon in bariatric surgery and minimally invasive procedures, with extensive experience in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders in Israel and internationally. In 2005, I founded and have since been leading a multidisciplinary center for obesity treatment at Assia Medical, located within Assuta Ramat HaHayal Hospital in Tel Aviv. The center is built upon a comprehensive, evidence-based approach that integrates advanced medical care, pharmacotherapy, and lifestyle medicine, including nutritional counseling, psychological support, gastroenterology care, plastic surgery for excess skin removal, and guidance for achieving sustainable weight loss and long-term metabolic health.

My journey has taken me through many remarkable milestones in medicine and beyond:
serving as a flight surgeon in the Israeli Air Force, participating in complex rescue missions, completing advanced diving and parachuting training, and earning a private pilot’s license. In parallel, I expanded my clinical expertise through fellowships and training at leading medical centers worldwide, including cardiac surgery in Switzerland, trauma care in the United States, and abdominal surgery in France.
In Minneapolis, USA, I worked for two years alongside Professor Henry Buchwald, a global pioneer in bariatric and metabolic surgery, where I performed hundreds of complex procedures that shaped my expertise and established my position as one of Israel’s leading physicians in obesity and metabolic health.

Over the years, I have authored numerous scientific publications in leading medical journals, presented at international conferences, and served as a mentor to young female physicians specializing in surgery. In 2018, I initiated the “Living Large” project, designed to integrate conventional medicine with holistic and lifestyle-based approaches. At the same time, I completed advanced studies in integrative medicine, mindfulness, positive psychology, Consciousness-based therapy, Theta Healing, and holistic coaching, further expanding my ability to support patients beyond traditional medical care.

Today, my work focuses on advanced pharmacological and holistic approaches to obesity treatment and metabolic health optimization,
combining GLP-1–based therapies, personalized pharmacotherapy, and lifestyle interventions to support long-term weight management, disease prevention, and longevity.
My goal is not only weight reduction, but improving health span, vitality, and overall quality of life.
My approach is grounded, professional, compassionate, and highly personalized. I am committed to ensuring that each patient feels seen, supported, and empowered, while receiving practical tools and close professional guidance throughout their journey toward sustainable health.

I warmly invite you to explore the content on this website, learn more about obesity treatment, metabolic health, and longevity medicine, and take the next step toward meaningful and lasting change.
Please feel free to reach out and connect with me personally.

Warm regards,
Dr. Asnat Raziel
