How One AFPA Grad Turned Her Credentials Right into a Guide

Loads of AFPA college students and grads have unbelievable information, actual shopper wins, and a ardour to affect extra individuals. What they don’t at all times have is a straightforward strategy to flip that worth into one thing purchasers can use many times, even exterior of periods. That’s the place publishing may be highly effective, not as an enormous life objective, however as a sensible strategy to help individuals, construct credibility, and prolong your affect.

AFPA graduate Kim Logan, a Intestine Well being Vitamin Specialist and creator of Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Each day Trackerdid 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 venture to life, what the method actually regarded like, and why creating your personal useful resource is likely to be extra achievable than you assume.

Kim Logan is the founding father of Grammy Going Inexperienced, a wellness enterprise devoted to creating intestine well being and anti inflammatory residing really feel easy, sensible, and doable. By way of her YouTube channel Intestine Well being Made Easy, she shares science-backed schooling and sensible life-style methods to help individuals managing power irritation and autoimmune-related challenges.

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

What sort of suggestions have you ever acquired from individuals utilizing the tracker?

Previous to publishing, I provided a free PDF model of the tracker to associates, 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 Each day Tracker is easy-to-use, eye-opening, and a game-changer for total well being.

Probably the most significant final result that I’ve seen thus far 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, 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 in search of a “weight loss plan.” I defined that we might be working via extra of a sustainable life-style “improve” somewhat 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 so on., I noticed it could be useful to compile this info in a single place together with common self-assessments and each day tracker pages, so individuals might establish triggers AND selections that work for themselves.

This explicit shopper reported again throughout the week that, whereas she nonetheless had anxiousness, 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 embody prebiotic fiber and cultured probiotics.

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

With out this program, I might 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 suggest that I make any dietary or life-style modifications to handle the situation, so I did it by myself after studying a e-book referred to as Intestine Test 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 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 instantly in your e-book?

The e-book highlights the affect that weight loss plan, motion, stress administration, and prioritizing sleep has on the intestine microbiome.  These 4 aspects had been basic to the Intestine Well being Vitamin Specialist program and have given me a stable construction when working with/presenting to others.

What did the Amazon publishing course of really 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 realized about “bleed” and the way which will have an effect on printing. The method was pretty easy however required various 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 so on.  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, nevertheless.  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 electronic 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 distinct 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 value efficient, and that’s when the concept of compiling the knowledge together with 30 days of each day monitoring pages was born! Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Each day Tracker was revealed on 11/17/2025. The caveats to this reply are: I already had created the movies and free guides which can be included within the e-book, so that point will not be included in idea-to-publish, AND if I had been to do it over, I might have spent extra time on the quilt and launch.

What was more durable than anticipated? What was simpler than anticipated?

I might say the method was extra tedious than anticipated—which means many little elements 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 actually?

My trustworthy reply is the publishing half will not 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 e-book individuals can purchase, 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 individuals.

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 realized the science about one thing that may assist others. Sure, I can doubtlessly become profitable 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 greater imaginative and prescient to your work?

First, for anybody who outright buys the e-book, there may be an possibility for them to subscribe to my weekly publication, “Intestine Test with Grammy Going Inexperienced,” the place I share ideas, motivation, and sensible methods to enhance total wellness. By way of this text, I’ll ultimately market a web-based course (which is taking me for much longer to supply 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 will likely 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 Easy.
