What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a metabolic issue where the body’s cells do not respond well to insulin, which is the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels.
This might result in higher insulin and blood glucose levels as your body attempts to compensate by making more insulin. Over the long term, this can lead to health problems such as hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, potentially affecting your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
Insulin resistance can have a major impact on fertility outcomes. For people with ovaries, altered insulin sensitivity can lead to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder that impacts female reproductive health. PCOS features high insulin levels, causing an overproduction of male hormones and resulting in hormonal imbalances that interfere with ovulation.
In individuals with testes, insulin resistance can alter hormone levels and lower sperm quality, making conception more challenging. Moreover, insulin resistance is typically coupled with obesity, which can aggravate fertility issues because of hormonal and physical adjustments.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Weight gain, particularly around your waistline,
- Changes in skin condition, such as dark patches (identified as acanthosis nigricans),
- Hypertension or feeling extremely weary,
- Elevated triglyceride amounts (a type of blood fat) and problems with sugar metabolism, might result in increased thirst or blurred vision.

What To Expect with Our Treatment Program in Las Vegas
During Your Initial Consultation
At your first appointment, Dr. Yuabova will hear your concerns, document your medical history, and, with your permission, carry out a whole-body energy scan.
Her objective is to find and treat the root cause with available diagnostic methods, directing further testing. Once the cause is identified, Dr. Yuabova will collect a complete blood panel, and treatment can begin.
Trouble conceiving could indicate an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. Doing so could potentially increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
Each individual’s treatment path is customized to address your specific findings.

The treatment plan developed for you will be distinct and encompass various strategies. These may encompass nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal remedies, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other beneficial components.
