At Road to Fertility, we understand that achieving reproductive health starts with understanding how your body functions as a whole. Our treatment plans focus on addressing insulin resistance, which can impact fertility. We use a functional and holistic approach, combining diet, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments to improve insulin sensitivity and support reproductive health.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a condition where the body’s cells do not effectively respond to insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar levels.

This can cause insulin and blood sugar levels to rise as the body tries to make more insulin to compensate. Over time, this may lead to health issues like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which could impact fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can significantly affect fertility. For those with ovaries, changes in insulin sensitivity can contribute to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common disorder that affects reproductive health. PCOS is characterized by high insulin levels, which lead to an excess of male hormones and hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.

In individuals with testes, insulin resistance can affect hormone levels and reduce sperm quality, making it harder to conceive. Additionally, insulin resistance is often linked with obesity, which can worsen fertility problems due to hormonal and physical changes.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Identifying the signs of insulin resistance allows you to seek prompt treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Some common signs include:
  • Weight gain, especially around the waist area,
  • Changes in skin appearance, like dark patches (known as acanthosis nigricans),
  • High blood pressure or feeling unusually tired,
  • High levels of triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and issues with sugar metabolism can lead to increased thirst or blurred vision.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

These signs are often linked to other health problems that can impact both your general and reproductive health.

“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.”

– Anna P

“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”

What To Expect with Our Treatment Program in Fort Lauderdale

During Your Initial Consultation

During your first appointment, Dr. Yuabova will listen to your concerns, review your medical history, and, with your consent, perform a full-body energy scan. 

Her goal is to identify and address the underlying cause using available diagnostic tools, guiding further tests. Once the cause is found, Dr. Yuabova will collect a full blood panel, and treatment will start.

Difficulty conceiving may point to an underlying issue that requires attention. Addressing it could improve your chances of getting pregnant.

The treatment plan for each person is tailored to meet their unique needs and findings.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment plan will be unique and include a range of approaches. These may involve nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal remedies, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other helpful elements. Ongoing support will be provided to ensure you follow your plan correctly. Dr. Yuabova and her team will monitor your progress every 2 to 4 weeks.

Functional reproductive medicine treatment plans usually last between 4 to 6 months, with flexibility depending on individual needs.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

You can choose between telehealth or in-person appointments at our Fort Lauderdale office. This applies to both your initial consultation and follow-up appointments. If blood tests are needed, we will refer you to a nearby functional lab for testing.
