What they don’t all the time have is a straightforward strategy to flip that worth into one thing purchasers can use time and again, even outdoors of periods. That’s the place publishing might be highly effective, not as an enormous life purpose, however as a sensible strategy to assist folks, construct credibility, and lengthen your impression.

AFPA graduate Kim Logan, a Intestine Well being Vitamin Specialist and creator of Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Tracker, did precisely that. She turned her expertise and evidence-based coaching right into a 30-day guided tracker designed to assist readers establish patterns affecting their intestine well being and make extra knowledgeable, sustainable selections. Right here’s how she introduced the undertaking to life, what the method actually seemed like, and why creating your personal useful resource is likely to be extra achievable than you suppose.

By way of her YouTube channel Intestine Well being Made Easy, she shares science-backed training and sensible way of life methods to assist folks managing persistent irritation and autoimmune-related challenges.

Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Tracker is one in all her newest initiatives, a 30-day guided journal designed to assist readers establish patterns affecting their intestine well being, with built-in ideas and sources to assist knowledgeable, sustainable wellness selections.

What sort of suggestions have you ever obtained from folks utilizing the tracker?

Previous to publishing, I supplied a free PDF model of the tracker to pals, household, and colleagues for sincere suggestions. This led to 21 5-star critiques inside weeks of publishing.  The general sentiment is Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Tracker is easy-to-use, eye-opening, and a game-changer for general well being. 

Probably the most significant end result that I’ve seen to this point is from the shopper who impressed me to put in writing the e book. Although she has by no means introduced with digestive or autoimmune points, she has suffered from persistent anxiousness and panic assaults for many of her life.  In recent times, by means of stress and poor consuming habits, she gained 50+ kilos.  As a result of a lot of my social media focuses on meals and its impression on intestine well being, she got here to me on the lookout for a “eating regimen.” I defined that we’d be working by means of extra of a sustainable way of life “improve” slightly than a fad.

Once I began compiling movies and free guides that I’ve created for stress, anti-inflammatory meals selections, sleep administration, motivation, motion, and many others., I noticed it could be useful to compile this info in a single place together with common self-assessments and day by day tracker pages, so folks might establish triggers AND selections that work for themselves.

This explicit shopper reported again inside the week that, whereas she nonetheless had anxiousness, she was capable of handle it extra successfully with out going into full panic assaults (suggesting the gut-brain connection). Inside a month, she had misplaced 11 kilos. She remains to be sending me movies of her new recipes that always embody prebiotic fiber and cultured probiotics.

How did finishing the Intestine Well being Vitamin Specialist Certificates form the way in which you approached this undertaking?

With out this program, I’d not have the credibility to put in writing and publish this e book.  My curiosity in intestine well being stemmed from private expertise with an autoimmune illness. My physician didn’t advocate that I make any dietary or way of life adjustments to handle the situation, so I did it by myself after studying a e book known as Intestine Verify by Dr. Steven Gundry.  As soon as I acknowledged the impact my intestine well being had on my situation, I wished to know the science and analysis accessible, and in some way I discovered AFPA!  From there, I used to be capable of be taught extra about what occurred to me and started to assist others. 

What particular information or frameworks from AFPA confirmed up immediately in your e book?

The e book highlights the impression that eating regimen, motion, stress administration, and prioritizing sleep has on the intestine microbiome.  These 4 sides had been elementary to the Intestine Well being Vitamin Specialist program and have given me a strong construction when working with/presenting to others.

What did the Amazon publishing course of truly appear to be for you?

To start, I used to be not conscious that to self-publish on Amazon, I needed to undergo Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP Amazon) which required an account setup. From there, I watched movies particular to the kind of e book I used to be publishing (low content material due the tracker pages). Right here, I additionally discovered about “bleed” and the way which will have an effect on printing. The method was pretty easy however required numerous manhours.  As a result of my e book has tracker pages, I wanted graphics, so I created the design in Canva with particular dimension parameters. Then, I downloaded the PDF and uploaded that to KDP Amazon.

At this level, I used to be guided to pick out title, creator(s), classes, key phrases, print particulars, and many others.  As soon as all of this was verified, I uploaded my content material then was given the choice to create my cowl by means of KDP or create my very own. I selected to create and add my very own cowl.  I used to be capable of launch a preview and approve from there.

Publishing is just one a part of the method, nonetheless.  To be a profitable creator, there needs to be a strong plan for advertising and marketing.

How lengthy did it realistically take from thought to revealed? 

I can inform you the precise time as a result of it was an e mail that I despatched that impressed me to create the tracker! On 10/6/2025, I compiled a number of of my YouTube movies together with some free guides for a shopper. I had despatched the identical info to a unique shopper the day earlier than and likewise despatched her a meals journal from Amazon. I noticed that gifting purchasers meals journals was not going to be price efficient, and that’s when the thought of compiling the knowledge together with 30 days of day by day monitoring pages was born! Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Tracker was revealed on 11/17/2025. The caveats to this reply are: I already had created the movies and free guides which are included within the e book, so that point just isn’t included in idea-to-publish, AND if I had been to do it over, I’d have spent extra time on the quilt and launch.

What was tougher than anticipated? What was simpler than anticipated?

I’d say the method was extra tedious than anticipated—that means many little components to the method and frustrations alongside the way in which.  However, the choice to publish on Amazon makes the method simpler.

If somebody is intimidated by self-publishing, what would you inform them truthfully?

My sincere reply is the publishing half just isn’t one thing to be intimidated by.  It’s the advertising and marketing half that’s tough, humbling, takes intentional effort, and probably requires a monetary funding.  That’s the place I’m proper now.

How does it really feel to see your title on a e book folks can purchase, use, and profit from?

It’s a sense of accomplishment as a result of I do know that I caught out by means of the method of making one thing that WILL truly assist folks.

Many AFPA college students dream of writing a e book however by no means begin. What’s the most important mindset shift that helped you progress from “sometime” to “achieved”?

For me, the shift was that I’ve skilled and discovered the science about one thing that may assist others. Sure, I can doubtlessly earn cash from e book gross sales, however the worth of what’s inside far outweighs the worth of this e book.

How does this e book match into your larger imaginative and prescient in your work?

Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Tracker has a number of functions in my better imaginative and prescient as a wellness coach. First, for anybody who outright buys the e book, there’s an choice for them to subscribe to my weekly publication, “Intestine Verify with Grammy Going Inexperienced,” the place I share ideas, motivation, and sensible methods to enhance general wellness. By way of this article, I’ll ultimately market a web based course (which is taking me for much longer to provide than publishing the e book). Moreover, as soon as I start working extra usually with one-on-one purchasers, the e book will function our framework (and can be a part of their shopper package deal). Lastly, as a result of there are YouTube movies included, I hope to extend view time and subscribers on my channel Intestine Well being Made Simple.
