Hi, I’m Carla Burns, the creator of FITworks. This is the story of how my husband’s struggle with weight and healthy living inspired me to put together an easy-to-follow program that helped him lose 60 pounds, significantly reduce his cholesterol, and stabilize his blood pressure. He’s a whole new person now—a healthier one with hope and a vibrant outlook for the future. The result, of course, is FITworks!
If it worked for him, I know it can work for you too. I designed FITworks to help real people like my husband (and you!) incorporate simple but life changing practices into their everyday lives that will help them get big results.

For the past five years, I have worked as a Registered Nurse, primarily in stroke rehabilitation. I began to notice a common trend in these patients. Besides 9 out of 10 patients being overweight or obese, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and uncontrolled diabetes continuously prevailed. This was hitting home for me because my once athletic husband had been spiraling down this same pathway.
Since we married 14 years ago, he had gained a whopping 100 pounds! His last checkup was the turning point. He stepped on the scale and was well over 330 pounds! His cholesterol was also high, blood pressure was high, and he was displaying symptoms of the early stage of type 2 diabetes. Of course he felt awful, tired all the time, irritable, had low energy and poor sleep.
We needed a solution…fast! It was the night after that doctor appointment that I prayed, or should I say pleaded, with God for a solution to help my husband. His work schedule did not allow time for much. Using my background knowledge of natural remedies and holistic medicine that I have studied over the past 15 years, I began my quest to save his health and, ultimately, his life.
I have always known that diets simply do not work. Temporary solutions yield temporary results, not to mention feeling restricted and deprived. That was not the solution I was looking for. What we needed was a life-changing solution.
For months, I researched – sometimes into the wee hours of the night – specific whole food remedies that have been used for centuries to naturally prevent and relieve these chronic conditions. My nursing background was very helpful. Having the knowledge of how our body works and how this is directly related to what we put in or do not put into our bodies certainly helped. “You are what you eat” is more accurate than most believe. I knew that if I could come up with a plan for him that would give him maximum results with minimal effort, he would succeed. My quest was to teach my husband how he could use food to work with his body, rather than against it. I started developing a healthy lifestyle plan for him—and it worked! Excitement was building as my husband's weight was dropping. Over a period of four months, he lost 40 pounds!
After adding powerful supplements, my husband continued to lose another 20 pounds over the course of the next four months. He continues today, working towards his ideal size of 38-inch pants and weight between 250 and 260 pounds. He is a big guy at 6'8" and at 272 lbs and into 40-inch pants, so he is very close. His cholesterol has dropped 100 points, and he is no longer taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. His blood sugar stabilized. His blood pressure is just about perfect, and he feels fantastic. Once again, he is vibrant and embraces life with hope!
I taught my husband that eating five or six meals a day was a healthier choice and the key to healthy permanent weight loss. I taught him that eating the right food combinations could benefit him even more. I also showed him that he did not need to exercise for hours and hours a day. "You need to work harder not longer," I would say. (Anyone can fit 20 minutes of exercise in each day.) I had no idea at the time, but I had been laying the foundation for what we have since formally developed and is now known as FITworks.
FITworks is a program that teaches people how to make healthy choices using proven principles that last a lifetime. Thermogenics is the underlying science that will help you discover what foods can do for your body—it can be life changing!
