At Road to Fertility, we believe that understanding your body’s broader functions is the first step in managing reproductive health. Our detailed treatment programs are tailored to address insulin resistance, an important factor in fertility. By focusing on a comprehensive approach that covers diet, lifestyle modifications, and medical interventions, we strive to restore and optimize your body’s insulin sensitivity for better reproductive health.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a metabolic disorder in which the body’s cells do not react effectively to insulin, the hormone responsible for controlling blood glucose levels.

This can cause elevated insulin and blood glucose levels because your body compensates by producing additional insulin. Over time, this can result in health problems like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome that could affect your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can profoundly impact fertility outcomes. For those with ovaries, disruptions in insulin sensitivity can result in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder that notably affects female reproductive health. PCOS involves elevated insulin levels that can lead to an overproduction of male hormones, creating hormonal imbalances that may interfere with ovulation.



For those with testes, insulin resistance can influence reproductive health by altering hormone levels and reducing sperm quality, making it more difficult to conceive. In addition, insulin resistance is often related to obesity, which can intensify fertility issues due to hormonal and physical transformations.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Identifying the symptoms of insulin resistance can aid in receiving timely treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common signs include:
  • Accumulating excess weight, particularly around your stomach area,
  • Skin changes, including darkened patches (termed acanthosis nigricans),
  • High blood pressure or feeling unusually tired,
  • Elevated triglyceride concentrations (a type of blood lipid) and issues with sugar regulation, potentially cause increased thirst or blurred vision.

These signs are commonly linked to additional health conditions that can affect both your overall and reproductive health.

“Dr. Marina is an absolute gem of a fertility specialist! Her personalized approach to resolving my POS and weight loss issues was a game-changer for me. Her wealth of knowledge and expertise, coupled with her compassionate care, made all the difference. Thanks to her guidance and support, I was able to make significant progress in managing my PCOS symptoms and achieving a healthier weight.”

– Anna P

“My wife and I came to Dr. Yuabova Marina almost 4 years ago when we were having some difficulty conceiving. We didn’t come in with any expectations and didn’t think things would happen as quickly as they did. Dr. Marina identified certain hormonal imbalances, including issues related to insulin resistance, which she explained were contributing to our difficulty in conceiving. By managing these issues, she was able to restore my wife’s hormonal balance. In less than a month, we were pregnant with our first baby girl. Dr. Marina was kind, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what was causing the issues we were dealing with. I recommend anyone facing the same challenges to come see Dr. Marina before taking any drastic steps.”

“I just have to share with you how Dr. Marina has completely changed my life. After going through Endometriosis surgery, and being placed on very harsh medication I came across of Dr. Marina’s webpage, the program is very involving, the diet itself is limiting, but results are amazing. After 7 months, my husband and I received the most amazing news – we’re expecting a baby! Dr. Marina has been with me every step of the way, ensuring that both me and the baby are healthy throughout the pregnancy and beyond. I won’t lie, this program takes commitment and hard work, but it’s worth it. I now have the tools and knowledge to live a healthy and vibrant life. Simply Thank you Dr. Marina”

What To Expect with Our Treatment Program in New York

During Your Initial Consultation

During the first consultation, Dr. Yuabova will listen to your concerns, gather your medical history, and, with your approval, conduct a whole-body energy scan.

Her goal is to identify and address the root cause using available diagnostic methods, driving further testing to pinpoint specific needs. After determining the cause, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can commence.

Difficulty becoming pregnant might point to an underlying concern. It’s important to address this issue to increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Therapy is personalized to match your findings and needs.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment approach will be customized to suit your unique requirements, incorporating a mix of methods. This might include nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal remedies, minerals, peptides, coaching, educational resources, and other interventions. Ongoing support is provided to ensure the correct execution of your treatment plan. Dr. Yuabova and her team will monitor your progress every 2 to 4 weeks.

Programs in functional reproductive medicine generally run from 4 to 6 months, though timelines can be adjusted according to individual situations.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

We offer both telehealth and in-person appointment options at our New York facility. This includes the initial consultation and all follow-up sessions. If blood work is needed, we’ll send you to a nearby functional lab capable of performing the necessary tests.
