What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition where the body’s cells do not respond adequately to insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood glucose levels.
This can lead to elevated insulin and blood glucose levels as your body tries to compensate by producing more insulin. Over time, this can contribute to several health issues, including hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which could affect your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
Insulin resistance can have a profound impact on fertility outcomes. In people with ovaries, the disruption in insulin sensitivity can contribute to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder that significantly affects female reproductive health. PCOS is characterized by excess insulin which can lead to an overproduction of male hormones, creating a cycle of hormonal imbalances that can interfere with ovulation.
For people with testes, insulin resistance can affect reproductive health by altering hormone levels and reducing the quality of sperm, which can make conception more difficult. Additionally, insulin resistance is often associated with obesity, which can further exacerbate fertility issues due to hormonal and physical changes.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
Knowing the signs of insulin resistance can help you get the right treatment early from our team at Road to Fertility. Common signs include:
- Gaining weight, especially around your belly
- Skin changes, like dark patches (known as acanthosis nigricans)
- High blood pressure or feeling very tired
- High levels of triglycerides (a type of fat in your blood) and problems with how your body handles sugar, which might cause you to have increased thirst or blurred vision
These signs are often linked to other health problems that can affect your overall and reproductive health.

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Marina Yuabova
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Yuabova will listen to your concerns, conduct a medical history, and perform a whole-body energy scan with your consent.
Her goal is to find and address the root cause of the problem with available diagnostic methods, which drives further testing so that Dr. Yuabova knows where to apply the specific testing that is needed. Once the cause of the issue is determined, medical evidence will be collected in the form of a complete blood panel, and treatment can begin.
If you are having trouble becoming pregnant, it is a symptom of an underlying issue. It’s important to address the underlying issue, which can then potentially enable you to become pregnant.
Treatment is different for every person and specific to your particular findings.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your treatment plan will be unique to you and will include a variety of approaches. This can include nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching and education, and more. Ongoing support is also provided to ensure you’re implementing the treatment plan correctly. Dr. Yuabova and her team will check in with you every 2 to 4 weeks.
Most functional reproductive medicine treatment programs last anywhere from 4 to 6 months but can be longer depending on your specific situation and needs.

Our patients have the option of choosing between telehealth appointments or in-person appointments at our Boca Raton, FL location.
