At Road to Fertility, we are committed to the idea that managing reproductive health starts with a full understanding of your body’s functions. Our treatment programs are developed to tackle insulin resistance, an important factor for fertility. Our functional and holistic method, which includes diet, lifestyle adjustments, and medical treatments, works to restore and optimize your body’s insulin sensitivity for improved reproductive function.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance occurs when the body’s cells do not adequately respond to insulin, the hormone that controls blood glucose levels.

This can cause an increase in insulin and blood glucose levels as your body attempts to balance by producing more insulin. Over time, this can cause health issues like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome that may impact your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can substantially influence fertility outcomes. In individuals with ovaries, impaired insulin sensitivity can result in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a frequent disorder affecting female reproductive health. PCOS features excess insulin, leading to an increase in male hormones and creating hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.



In people with testes, insulin resistance can alter reproductive health by changing hormone levels and lowering sperm quality, which can make conception more difficult. Furthermore, insulin resistance is commonly associated with obesity, which can amplify fertility problems because of hormonal and physical shifts.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Recognizing the signs of insulin resistance can enable you to receive early treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common indicators include:
  • Weight gain, especially around your midsection,
  • Changes in skin coloration, such as dark spots (referred to as acanthosis nigricans),
  • Elevated blood pressure or experiencing intense tiredness,
  • High triglyceride levels (a type of blood fat) and issues with sugar management, potentially resulting in heightened thirst or blurred vision.

These symptoms are typically linked to other health problems that can impact your overall and reproductive well-being.

“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.”

– Ilya K

“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 Brooklyn

During Your Initial Consultation

During your initial visit, Dr. Yuabova will address your concerns, take a medical history, and, with your consent, perform a whole-body energy scan.

Her aim is to find and address the underlying issue using available diagnostic methods, guiding further testing to apply specific tests. Once the cause is determined, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can begin.

If you’re experiencing trouble getting pregnant, there may be an underlying issue that needs addressing. Resolving this issue could help you conceive.

Each person’s treatment plan is crafted to suit their specific results.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment plan will be uniquely crafted to address your needs and will involve multiple approaches. These could include nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other components as necessary. We offer ongoing assistance to ensure your treatment plan is being implemented correctly. Dr. Yuabova and her team will conduct regular reviews every 2 to 4 weeks.

Functional reproductive medicine treatments usually extend over a period of 4 to 6 months, tailored to individual requirements.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

You have the choice between telehealth appointments and in-person visits at our Brooklyn practice. This involves both the initial consultation and subsequent visits. If blood work is needed, we’ll send you to a nearby functional lab that can conduct the necessary blood tests.
