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
- 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.

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova 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.
