What they don’t at all times have is an easy option to flip that worth into one thing purchasers can use many times, even exterior of periods. That’s the place publishing might be highly effective, not as an enormous life purpose, however as a sensible option to assist folks, construct credibility, and prolong your affect.
AFPA graduate Kim Logan, a Intestine Well being Diet 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 mission to life, what the method actually regarded like, and why creating your personal useful resource is likely to be extra achievable than you assume.

What sort of suggestions have you ever acquired from folks utilizing the tracker?
Previous to publishing, I provided a free PDF model of the tracker to pals, household, and colleagues for trustworthy suggestions. This led to 21 5-star opinions 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 total well being.
Essentially the most significant consequence that I’ve seen up to now is from the consumer who impressed me to put in writing the guide. Although she has by no means introduced with digestive or autoimmune points, she has suffered from persistent nervousness and panic assaults for many of her life. Lately, via stress and poor consuming habits, she gained 50+ kilos. As a result of a lot of my social media focuses on meals and its affect on intestine well being, she got here to me on the lookout for a “eating regimen.” I defined that we might be working via extra of a sustainable life-style “improve” relatively than a fad.
After 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 spotted it will be useful to compile this data in a single place together with common self-assessments and each day tracker pages, so folks might establish triggers AND selections that work for themselves.
This specific consumer reported again throughout the week that, whereas she nonetheless had nervousness, she was in a position to 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 embrace prebiotic fiber and cultured probiotics.
How did finishing the Intestine Well being Diet Specialist Certificates form the best way you approached this mission?
With out this program, I’d not have the credibility to put in writing and publish this guide. My curiosity in intestine well being stemmed from private expertise with an autoimmune illness. My physician didn’t suggest that I make any dietary or life-style adjustments to handle the situation, so I did it alone after studying a guide referred to 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 someway I discovered AFPA! From there, I used to be in a position to be taught extra about what occurred to me and commenced to assist others.
What particular information or frameworks from AFPA confirmed up straight in your guide?
The guide highlights the affect 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 Diet Specialist program and have given me a stable construction when working with/presenting to others.
What did the Amazon publishing course of really appear like 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 guide I used to be publishing (low content material due the tracker pages). Right here, I additionally realized about “bleed” and the way which will have an effect on printing. The method was pretty easy however required quite a lot of manhours. As a result of my guide 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 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 via KDP or create my very own. I selected to create and add my very own cowl. I used to be in a position to 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 stable plan for advertising and marketing.
How lengthy did it realistically take from concept to revealed?
I can let you know 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 consumer.

I spotted that gifting purchasers meals journals was not going to be price efficient, and that’s when the concept of compiling the data together with 30 days of each 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 might be included within the guide, so that point shouldn’t be 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 more durable than anticipated? What was simpler than anticipated?
I’d say the method was extra tedious than anticipated—that means many little elements to the method and frustrations alongside the best way. However, the choice to publish on Amazon makes the method simpler.
If somebody is intimidated by self-publishing, what would you inform them actually?
My trustworthy reply is the publishing half shouldn’t be one thing to be intimidated by. It’s the advertising and marketing half that’s troublesome, humbling, takes intentional effort, and presumably requires a monetary funding. That’s the place I’m proper now.
How does it really feel to see your identify on a guide folks should buy, use, and profit from?
It’s a sense of accomplishment as a result of I do know that I caught out via the method of making one thing that WILL really assist folks.
Many AFPA college students dream of writing a guide however by no means begin. What’s the most important mindset shift that helped you progress from “sometime” to “performed”?
