Additionally, Dr. Ducharme has been developing Lead and Empower Her She Talks for the past seven years. This initiative has grown from a conference into a magazine, a membership organization, and a movement.

  • Catherine Gray, the host of Invest In Her, interviews Dr. Farnoush Fadavi, the founder of Bala Enzyme. Dr. Fadavi, along with her husband, Dr. Arash Aftabi, are retired dental surgeons based in Southern California.

    Dr. Fadavi’s journey began with years of research at Boston University focused on plant-based enzymes as a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals for reducing bruising and inflammation after oral surgery. Over the past 20 years, she integrated plant-based therapy into her clinical practice, and eventually, she and her husband took all the research and clinical data to develop the Bala formula.

    In 2018, Dr. Fadavi was involved in an accident that left her with chronic pain and forced her to retire early. Sensitive to pharmaceuticals, she turned to Bala as a natural solution for her recovery. The profound impact Bala had on her life inspired her to share the formula and her story with the world.

    Dr. Fadavi believes that a balanced life is one without inflammation, which is why she named the product "Bala," short for Balance. Tune in to hear how her personal experience and dedication to natural healing led to the creation of Bala Enzyme, a product that is changing lives by promoting a balanced, inflammation-free life.
