AFPA graduate Kim Logan, a Intestine Well being Diet Specialist and creator of Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Each 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 challenge to life, what the method actually appeared like, and why creating your personal useful resource is likely to be extra achievable than you suppose.

What sort of suggestions have you ever obtained from folks utilizing the tracker?
Previous to publishing, I provided a free PDF model of the tracker to associates, household, and colleagues for sincere suggestions. This led to 21 5-star opinions inside weeks of publishing. The general sentiment is Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Each day Tracker is easy-to-use, eye-opening, and a game-changer for total well being.
Probably the most significant consequence that I’ve seen to date is from the shopper who impressed me to jot down the e-book.

In recent times, by stress and poor consuming habits, she gained 50+ kilos. As a result of a lot of my social media focuses on meals and its influence on intestine well being, she got here to me searching for a “food regimen.” I defined that we’d be working by extra of a sustainable life-style “improve” moderately 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 so forth., I spotted it might be useful to compile this data in a single place together with common self-assessments and every day tracker pages, so folks may establish triggers AND selections that work for themselves.
This specific shopper reported again throughout the week that, whereas she nonetheless had nervousness, 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 Diet Specialist Certificates form the best way you approached this challenge?
With out this program, I’d not have the credibility to jot down and publish this e-book. My curiosity in intestine well being stemmed from private expertise with an autoimmune illness.

As soon as I acknowledged the impact my intestine well being had on my situation, I needed to grasp the science and analysis out there, and in some way I discovered AFPA! From there, I used to be capable of study extra about what occurred to me and commenced to assist others.
What particular data or frameworks from AFPA confirmed up immediately in your e-book?
The e-book highlights the influence that food regimen, motion, stress administration, and prioritizing sleep has on the intestine microbiome. These 4 sides have been basic 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 seem 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 e-book I used to be publishing (low content material due the tracker pages). Right here, I additionally discovered about “bleed” and the way that will have an effect on printing. The method was pretty easy however required a variety of manhours. As a result of my e-book has tracker pages, I wanted graphics, so I created the design in Canva with particular measurement parameters. Then, I downloaded the PDF and uploaded that to KDP Amazon.
At this level, I used to be guided to pick title, writer(s), classes, key phrases, print particulars, and so forth. As soon as all of this was verified, I uploaded my content material then was given the choice to create my cowl by 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 writer, there needs to be a stable plan for advertising.
How lengthy did it realistically take from thought to printed?
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 shopper. I had despatched the identical data to a distinct shopper the day earlier than and likewise despatched her a meals journal from Amazon.

Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Each day Tracker was printed 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 isn’t included in idea-to-publish, AND if I have 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 elements to the method and frustrations alongside the best way. However, the choice to publish on Amazon makes the method simpler.

It’s a sense of accomplishment as a result of I do know that I caught out by the method of making one thing that WILL really 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 “completed”?
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.
