About Us

For nearly 30 years, Abdul Ismail has dedicated his life to helping people take control of their health: naturally, practically, and without hype.

With a degree in nutrition from Montclair State University and decades of experience working in the health industry, he’s built his reputation not just through education, but through service and running two successful health food stores and supporting countless customers on their wellness journeys.

Over time, his passion for holistic healing deepened, leading him to study traditional herbal medicine, with a special focus on Chinese herbal formulas passed down from one of his late mentors. That influence continues today in the way he teaches, formulates, and thinks about health: honoring tradition while staying grounded in real-life experience.

While still seeing the revolutionary work modern medicine and clinical studies have done, still he he also recognized that people deserve more knowledge, more access, and more affordable paths to long-term wellness. After talking with his surgeon of a sister, he decided to take a more direct approach.

Now, through this website and his podcast, "The Healthman Show" , he’s shifting his focus from running stores to sharing what he’s learned. His goal is to give people real tools for staying well in a world where health often feels like a luxury. Whether it’s understanding how herbs support the body, unpacking complex topics like blood sugar and metabolism, or simply learning how to make smarter choices day-to-day, this platform is about empowerment and education.

This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about getting back to the basics: the body, the earth, and the truth.
