AFPA graduate Kim Logan, a Intestine Well being Diet Specialist and creator of Intestine Well being Made Easy: Your Day by day Trackerdid precisely that.

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

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.
Probably the most significant end result that I’ve seen to this point is from the shopper who impressed me to jot down the e-book.

Once I began compiling movies and free guides that I’ve created for stress, anti-inflammatory meals decisions, sleep administration, motivation, motion, and many others., I spotted it will be helpful to compile this data in a single place together with common self-assessments and day by day tracker pages, so individuals may determine triggers AND decisions that work for themselves.

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 truly 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 which will have an effect on printing. The method was pretty easy however required quite a lot of 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, writer(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 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, nevertheless. To be a profitable writer, there must be a stable plan for advertising.

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 can be included within the e-book, so that point shouldn’t be included in idea-to-publish, AND if I have been to do it over, I’d have spent extra time on the duvet and launch.
What was more durable than anticipated? What was simpler than anticipated?
