Anabel Facemire MD, FACC
Dr. Facemire is a board-certified non-invasive cardiologist with a special interest in prevention, treatment, and reversal of chronic diseases through whole-person lifestyle modifications by teaching the benefits of nutrition, exercise, stress management and spiritual support.
Dr. Facemire’s journey started with the illness of her own son. After going to numerous specialists and experimenting with several combinations of treatments unsuccessfully, she finally embraced a whole food plant-based diet that changed the destiny of her family’s health and of her patients, as well. As she started to teach her patients individually, in group sessions, through seminars and conferences, many of them experienced reversal of disease, decreased the number of medications, and achieved powerful health transformations.
Dr. Facemire’s most recent life-changing event occurred during the Covid pandemic, when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Thankfully, her faith in God, a new approach to treating her illness with food and her perseverance in following the principles learned at Years Restored Lifestyle Center recovered her health completely. Now, she is passionate about sharing those principles with those in need of abundant health.
Her husband, Fred, and children, Melody and Ethan, accepted the call in 2022 to leave their comfortable lives in Northern California and move to Castle Valley Academy in Utah, where they served in various roles supporting the school. As their children have transitioned to post-secondary training at Weimar University, Dr. Facemire and her husband are moving by faith to full-time medical missionary ministry with a telehealth lifestyle cardiology practice called
Choose A New Heart, using the 8 principles of healing to share the good news of the gospel.
Dr. Facemire completed her fellowship training in cardiovascular disease at Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Cardiology Division in New York City. She believes that God wants to bring physical and spiritual healing to people through whole-person care.

Ernie and Kim Layon
Ernie and Kim lived in San Diego, California up to 2017. That year they received a conviction to leave the city and move to the country. Hanging only on the promises of God, they left their careers to pursue a higher calling. Their ministry is geared toward sharing their experiences and testimonies to encourage those to trust and obey God and see the blessings that will come and the faith that will grow stronger. Their experiences are documented on their youtube channel “City Exodus”. They currently live in Southeast Arizona and are in the process of opening their Off Grid Home Sanitarium called “The Heart of the Desert Wellness and Health”. They currently travel doing the gospel medical missionary work helping people with various diseases and training others to this work of sharing the gospel through the health message. Their hope is that these messages will encourage others to make their homes into sanitariums to do this great work of leading people closer to Christ for these times.
