At Road to Fertility, we understand that achieving reproductive health starts with understanding your body’s overall function. Our thorough treatment plans are designed to address insulin resistance, which can impact fertility. We adopt a functional and holistic approach that includes dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and medical treatments to enhance insulin sensitivity and support optimal reproductive health.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a metabolic condition in which the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, the hormone responsible for managing blood glucose levels. 

As a result, the body produces more insulin to compensate, leading to elevated insulin and blood glucose levels. Over time, this can contribute to health issues such as hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which may impact fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can significantly affect fertility outcomes. In individuals with ovaries, reduced insulin sensitivity can contribute to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting female reproductive health. PCOS is characterized by elevated insulin levels, which can lead to an excess of male hormones and result in hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.

For individuals with testes, insulin resistance can disrupt hormone levels and negatively impact sperm quality, potentially complicating conception efforts. Additionally, insulin resistance often coincides with obesity, which can further exacerbate fertility challenges due to hormonal imbalances and physical changes.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Identifying the signs of insulin resistance is crucial for seeking prompt treatment with our specialists at Road to Fertility. Look out for these common indicators:

  • Unexplained weight gain, especially around the abdominal area
  • Changes in skin appearance, such as dark, velvety patches known as acanthosis nigricans
  • High blood pressure or persistent fatigue
  • Increased levels of triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and issues with blood sugar regulation, which may lead to excessive thirst or blurred vision

These symptoms are often linked to other health conditions that can impact both your general well-being 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.”

– Ilya K

“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 Henderson, NV

During Your Initial Consultation

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

Her goal is to identify and address the underlying cause of your symptoms using available diagnostic tools, which may guide additional testing. Once the root cause is determined, Dr. Yuabova will conduct a thorough blood panel, after which treatment can commence.

Difficulty conceiving may signal an underlying issue that requires attention. Addressing these issues could improve your chances of achieving pregnancy.

Your treatment plan will be tailored to address your unique needs based on the specific findings of your evaluation.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your personalized treatment plan will be unique and incorporate a range of strategies, including nutritional therapy (both oral and IV), neural therapy, herbal supplements, minerals, peptides, coaching, and education, among other beneficial elements.

Functional reproductive medicine treatment plans generally last between 4 to 6 months, with adjustments made according to individual needs and circumstances.

You have the option to choose between telehealth or in-person appointments at our Henderson location, including both your initial consultation and follow-up visits. If blood tests are necessary, we will provide a referral to a local functional lab that can conduct the required tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can improving insulin sensitivity also improve my chances of conception?

Yes, enhancing insulin levels and sensitivity can alleviate the impact of conditions such as PCOS on fertility. This approach may involve lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, the use of medical-grade supplements, and other treatment methods.

What is the link between insulin resistance and PCOS?

Insulin resistance can exacerbate PCOS symptoms by increasing the production of male hormones, which in turn disrupts the ovulation cycle in women.

What other conditions are associated with insulin resistance that could affect fertility?

In addition to PCOS, insulin resistance is frequently observed in individuals with metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and irregular glucose metabolism. These conditions can adversely affect reproductive health in both men and women.

Are there specific dietary recommendations for managing insulin resistance?

Yes, following a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in fiber can help regulate insulin levels. Foods that enhance insulin sensitivity include whole grains, green leafy vegetables, and omega-3-rich sources such as fish. The team at Road to Fertility in Henderson is available to assist you in selecting foods that support your overall health and well-being.
