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
- 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.

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.
