Health from the Inside Out – Nature’s Path to Health
Join us August 15-17, 2025 for this special weekend with Dr. Arvi Generoso and Mercy Ballard, RN.
Mercy is the founder of Years Restored. Mercy went to medical school in Mexico and has worked as an IV infusion nurse in the US for over two decades. When Mercy developed unusual symptoms of celiac disease in 2004, she had to embark on her own search for answers.
A Seventh day Adventist Christian, Mercy believed that the best diet would be an anti-inflammatory whole food plant based diet as recommended in the Bible.
However, she was confused by the recommendations of health care practitioners to adopt a paleo lifestyle. She set about to discover what was causing so many on plant based diets to continue to have chronic leaky gut issues.
Finding significant improvement for herself, she and her husband opened the Years Restored lifestyle center, and since 2013 the plant based protocol and menus used at Years Restored have helped hundreds of clients find remission and healing.
Dr Arvi Generoso is a native of the Philippines and now resides in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her husband, Allan, and their three children. Dr Generoso completed her residency 
training at a University of Illinois affiliated Community Hospital in Chicago, where she also served as Chief Resident. She is a Board Certified Internal Medicine Physician. With her husband Allan, they manage Generoso Health, a private medical practice with a focus on lifestyle changes to help reduce medications. The family enjoys traveling, hiking, skiing, and other outdoor pursuits and are involved in music and club ministries for children at Whipple Creek Church. They feel privileged to live in such a time as this, seeing prophecy fulfilled, and Jesus coming soon!
