The Role of Hormones and Infertility
Hormones are crucial for fertility. However, imbalances in hormones can make pregnancy challenging. While IVF may seem like a solution, correcting the hormone imbalance is essential before the body can successfully conceive and maintain a pregnancy.
Hormones like Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), estradiol, and progesterone play key roles in the reproductive process.
FSH hormones promote the growth of ovarian follicles, LH hormones induce ovulation and the release of a mature egg, and estradiol and progesterone regulate the menstrual cycle.
Thyroid hormones, prolactin from the pituitary gland, stress hormones, and testosterone are also important for fertility. Insulin resistance and glucose level imbalances can contribute to hormonal dysfunction.
Imbalances in any of these hormones can cause reproductive system dysfunction and affect ovarian function, making it difficult to become pregnant.
At Road to Fertility, we aim to identify and address the root cause of your hormonal imbalance, creating a customized fertility treatment plan tailored to your body’s specific needs.

What To Expect with Our Concierge Medicine
During Your Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Yuabova will carefully listen to your concerns, take your medical history, and conduct a whole-body energy scan with your permission.
Dr. Yuabova aims to pinpoint and tackle the root cause of the problem. She employs innovative functional medicine testing and diagnostic methods to tailor a fertility treatment plan according to your body’s unique requirements.
It’s important to note that difficulty in conception often indicates an underlying issue. This underscores the importance of identifying and addressing this underlying issue, which could pave the way for a successful pregnancy.
Treatment approaches vary for each individual and are based on your specific examination findings.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your individualized treatment plan will incorporate a range of approaches tailored to your requirements, such as nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching, and education. Regular support is given to ensure the proper execution of the plan, with check-ins every 2 to 4 weeks conducted by Dr. Yuabova and her team.
Functional reproductive medicine treatment programs typically span from 4 to 6 months, although they may extend longer based on your circumstances and requirements.
Do Appointments Have to Be In Person?
Patients can select either telehealth appointments or in-person visits at our Nevada. This applies to both the initial consultation and any follow-up appointments. If blood work is necessary, we’ll refer you to a nearby functional lab for testing.
