At Road to Fertility, we believe that reproductive health management starts with grasping the full picture of your body’s functionality. Our treatment programs focus on addressing insulin resistance, a crucial element that influences fertility. Our approach focuses on a holistic and functional strategy that includes diet, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments to improve your body’s insulin sensitivity and reproductive function.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance happens when the body’s cells do not respond adequately to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar.

This may cause elevated levels of insulin and blood glucose as your body compensates by making additional insulin. Over time, this can result in various health issues, including hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which might affect your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can heavily impact fertility outcomes. In people with ovaries, changes in insulin sensitivity can cause conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder that significantly affects female reproductive health. PCOS is characterized by high levels of insulin, leading to an increase in male hormones and creating hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation.



In individuals with testes, insulin resistance can change hormone levels and lower sperm quality, making it harder to achieve conception. Furthermore, insulin resistance is commonly correlated with obesity, which can heighten fertility problems through hormonal and physical shifts.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Understanding the signs of insulin resistance can aid in obtaining timely treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common indicators include:
  • Accumulating more weight, especially around your waistline,
  • Alterations in skin appearance, such as darkened patches (known as acanthosis nigricans),
  • Hypertension or feeling unusually exhausted,
  • High levels of triglycerides (a form of blood lipid) and challenges with sugar management, might result in heightened thirst or blurred vision.

These indicators are usually associated with other health issues that can affect 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.”

“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 Tampa

During Your Initial Consultation

In your first consultation, Dr. Yuabova will listen to your concerns, take your medical history, and, with your consent, conduct a whole-body energy scan.

Her objective is to find and address the problem’s root cause using available diagnostics, driving further testing to pinpoint specific needs. After determining the cause, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can start.

If you’re having trouble conceiving, there may be an underlying issue. Addressing this issue may help you achieve pregnancy.

Treatment options are personalized based on your individual findings.


During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and will incorporate a mix of approaches. This might include nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and additional therapeutic elements. We offer continuous support to ensure your treatment plan is implemented correctly. Dr. Yuabova and her team will schedule regular follow-ups every 2 to 4 weeks.

Most functional reproductive medicine treatment plans span 4 to 6 months, depending on the specific needs of each individual.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

Patients can select either telehealth or in-person consultations at our Tampa location. This involves both the initial consultation and any follow-up visits. Should blood work be necessary, we will arrange for you to visit a nearby functional lab capable of conducting the tests.
