FAQ

CAN I SEE WHAT THE INSIDE LOOKS LIKE?

Of course! Here you go....

WHO IS THIS JOURNAL FOR?

See the official Decision Buying Guide HERE.

Beyond that, even for those of you who don't feel the gut symptoms and still are merely just surviving instead of thriving, this journal could be critical to your healing journey.

• Chronic illness - any and all; this will 100% help manage your day-to-day and overall healing process
• Hormonal issues - quest for balancing them
• Infertility - quest for achieving pregnancy
• Skin issues - quest for getting rid of acne
• Anxiety - quest for understanding your anxiety roots

WILL I KNOW HOW TO USE IT??

Yes, there are several "How To" pages towards the beginning of the journal. Everything you absolutely need is all right there.

However, some of you might want to go above and beyond and really get into the gut healing journaling.

If this is you, I have created an e-course + private Facebook group to accompany your journal journey. Once you purchase the journal, it will be offered to you as an add-on for just $9.99.

CAN I SEE A TABLE OF CONTENTS?

Yes, of course! Here you go.

WHERE DO I START ONCE MY JOURNAL ARRIVES?

Once you receive your journal, my best suggestion is to read through it once so you understand all pieces. It's not a book in the sense that it will take you a month to finish. Instead, you should get a feel for the Journal Key, daily structure, and how to use it.

This way, you'll be fully prepared to start.

Then, just start. Record at the beginning of the journal your start date (and don't forget to add your Gut Healing Mantra for the 90-day duration - yes, there is even a prompt for this).

DOES THE JOURNAL COME WITH RECIPES AND/OR A MEAL PLAN?

No, there are no recipes and/or meal plans in the book.

This is strictly a journal to help you navigate your gut healing journey.

That said, if you have the Master Gutsy Resource spreadsheet, I have added a tab for 'Healing Books + Protocols' where you will find many different ideas and recommendations for diets, recipes, and meal plans. If you don't have access to this spreadsheet yet, you can get access to it for FREE HERE.

IS THERE A SECTION FOR DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT NOTES?

Yes!

In fact, there are two pages for appointment notes and two more pages for your doctor's appointment log.

WHY IS IT CALLED HEALING BLOOMS FROM WITHIN?

This is simple. And the answer is twofold:

• Because healing does bloom from within. Without properly planting, watering, and nurturing the inside, it's hard to flower on the outside. In other words, if you don't take care of everything on your inside (physical, mental, and emotional), the outside struggles.
• Because, "My Poop Diary," "What the Gut Bug is Going On?" etc. is cute, awesome, and fun, but the reality is that most women really don't want to carry something around for healing purposes and have it out there in the open like that. This way, it's disguised as any other beautiful, classy journal.

DOES THE JOURNAL HELP WITH REINTRODUCING FOODS / SYMPTOMS AFTER AN ELIMINATION DIET?

Yes and no.

Yes in the sense that there is a chart for helping you determine which foods you can (successfully) reintroduce (and if you aren't successful, the chart will help you understand why that might be).

But no, in the sense that I don't tell you, "Eliminate xyz and then on day 5 introduce xyz, day 6 introduce xyz, etc."

This goes back to the meal plan and recipes question.

However, through the Journal Key and my SYSTEM for tracking, I am empowering you to be able to determine this for yourself.

No two people are the same, which is why I wanted this extremely customizable for each person.

DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?

Yes!

The journals were created, printed, and produced in the United States. They will ship from the United States, but I have made it so that anyone - worldwide - has access to the journal.

How?

Well, we are shipping to the United States, Canada, and even internationally.

But if the shipping is too much for those of you in Canada and internationally, you have the option to get the e-journal instead. It's the same exact thing, just in e-format for you to print yourself.

HOW MANY DAYS OF TRACKING DOES ONE JOURNAL ALLOW?

Each journal contains 90 days of tracking; three full months.

And even that time frame was intentional.

Remember, for 10+ years I kept so many gut healing journals. It was through all of them that this SYSTEM was created.

Each of the 90 days is one full page.

HOW MUCH TIME EACH DAY DOES THE JOURNAL REQUIRE?

The journal requires from you only and exactly what you want to put into it. I have given you all the tools for both the practical side of journaling for gut healing and fun/creative side.

It's up to you what YOU want to do and make of it.

ARE YOU, A GUTSY GIRL, GOING TO USE THIS JOURNAL?

Are you kidding me?! Darling, the answer to this one is a RESOUNDING YES!

In full disclosure, I won't use the 90-day tracking system and "My Day" section in the same ways as you will.

This is because, I am healed and have been for 2 years.

I'm going to use the 90-days for general and overall health and vibrancy - to track my never ending desire for optimal gut health and a microbiome that's stronger than nails.

And I'll also use it for a regular, daily planner (because, spoiler alert, you can do this, too - and I teach you how in the Journal Key).

Finally, there are so many other fun pages and things to do and track in the journal that I'll likely use many of those as well.

You see - this is a tool that you'll want to use for healing and health.

WHY IS THE JOURNAL ALMOST $50?

This journal is golden. In fact, knowing what I know now about how much time, energy, and money went into those 10+ years of creating this, I'll be honest in saying that it's worth far more than $49.99.

Some things:

• For those of you in the United States, there are no fees beyond the $49.99. One of my pain points when doing online ordering is getting to the end of the shopping cart only to find there are other fees added.....shipping, handling, taxes, and more. I have bundled this as one so there are no extra fees.
• I didn't go cheap on any of the details. If you get the physical copy, it's a hard cover, with golden spirals. It also has an elastic band for function and aesthetics. Inside, there is a strategically-created perforated page, as well as a pocket at the end of the journal. Finally, it's in full color, creative, and beautiful!
• It's a system. This isn't just a gut healing journal with some pretty illustrations, blank note pages for your doctor's visits, and a generic food log which looks like this: Breakfast | Symptoms, Lunch | Symptoms, Dinner | Symptoms. No. It's nothing like that. In fact, those are the gut healing journals I would buy time and time again only to ditch them within a month. Because they don't work. Healing Blooms from Within is far more detailed; 100% conducive for healing and answers. That's what you want, right?!
• Finally, and maybe most importantly, not only is this the best gut healing and chronic Illness journal out there but I have HUNDREDS of resources and articles to help you with it and on your journey for FREE. Yes, agutsygirl.com hosts free resources galore. If you want to check out some of these today, see the Journal Resources page HERE.

Absolutely!

I created this as a tool not only for women with health issues, but also for those of you who help these lovely women.
