At Road to Fertility, we are aware that the journey to reproductive health begins with grasping the wider aspects of your body’s function. Our comprehensive treatment strategies are designed to manage insulin resistance, which can affect your fertility. We take a functional and holistic approach, encompassing diet, lifestyle changes, and medical interventions, to restore and optimize your body’s insulin sensitivity and reproductive function.

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

Recognizing the signs of insulin resistance can help you access timely treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common signs include:
  • 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.

“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”

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina

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.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

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. Continuous support is available to help you implement your treatment plan accurately. Dr. Yuabova and her team will review your progress every 2 to 4 weeks.

Functional reproductive medicine treatment plans typically range from 4 to 6 months, with flexibility based on individual situations.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

You can select either telehealth or in-person appointments at our Las Vegas location. This includes both the first consultation and subsequent appointments. If blood work is required, we’ll refer you to a nearby functional lab that can perform the tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can improving insulin sensitivity also improve my chances of conception?
Yes, improving insulin levels and sensitivity can mitigate the fertility effects of conditions like PCOS. This may incorporate lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, and the incorporation of medical-grade supplements, along with other forms of treatment.
What is the link between insulin resistance and PCOS?
Insulin resistance can aggravate PCOS symptoms by elevating male hormone production, which affects the ovulation cycle in women with PCOS. This imbalance can lead to issues such as irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, insulin resistance in women with PCOS increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Treatment options, such as lifestyle changes and medications like birth control pills, can help manage these symptoms.

PCOS affects each individual differently, so addressing insulin resistance is often a key step in improving fertility and overall health.

What other conditions are associated with insulin resistance that could affect fertility?
Besides PCOS, insulin resistance is commonly found in individuals with metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and irregular glucose metabolism, all of which can impact reproductive health in both males and females.
Are there specific dietary recommendations for managing insulin resistance?
Yes, adopting a diet low in refined carbs and high in fiber can assist in regulating insulin levels. Foods that improve insulin sensitivity include whole grains, green leafy vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acid sources like fish. Road to Fertility’s team in Las Vegas is here to guide you in choosing foods that promote your overall health.
