At Road to Fertility, we know that the journey to better reproductive health starts with understanding how your body works as a whole. Our treatments are designed to manage insulin resistance, a factor that can affect fertility. Through a holistic approach that combines diet, lifestyle changes, and medical support, we work to enhance insulin sensitivity and improve reproductive function.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is when the body’s cells fail to respond efficiently to insulin, which is the hormone that regulates the level of glucose in the blood.

To compensate, the body might produce more insulin, causing insulin and blood glucose levels to rise. Over time, this can lead to problems like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which can affect fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can have a serious effect on fertility. For people with ovaries, changes in insulin sensitivity are linked to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common reproductive health disorder. PCOS involves high insulin levels, which trigger an overproduction of male hormones, causing hormonal imbalances that prevent proper ovulation.

Insulin resistance in individuals with testes can disrupt hormone levels and lower sperm quality, making conception more difficult. It is also frequently accompanied by obesity, which can intensify fertility challenges through hormonal and physical changes.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Spotting the symptoms of insulin resistance can help you get early treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Some typical signs include:
  • Gaining weight, especially around the abdomen,
  • Alterations in skin conditions, such as dark spots (called acanthosis nigricans),
  • High blood pressure or persistent tiredness,
  • Elevated triglyceride levels (a kind of blood fat) and difficulties with sugar metabolism can result in more thirst or blurry vision.

These indicators are commonly related to other health conditions that can influence your overall 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 Hialeah

During Your Initial Consultation

In your first appointment, Dr. Yuabova will take note of your concerns, review your medical background, and, with your consent, perform a full-body energy scan.

Her focus is on discovering and treating the root cause with available diagnostic methods, leading to further testing. Once the cause is determined, Dr. Yuabova will take a full blood panel, and treatment can begin.

Problems with conception may suggest an underlying condition that should be addressed. Fixing this could increase your chances of becoming pregnant.

Each person receives a personalized treatment plan based on their specific findings.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your personalized treatment plan will include several strategies, such as nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal remedies, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other supportive elements. You will receive ongoing support to help you follow the plan. Dr. Yuabova and her team will check your progress every 2 to 4 weeks.

Functional reproductive medicine treatments generally take 4 to 6 months, with the duration adjusted as needed for each individual.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

You can book either a telehealth or in-person appointment at our Hialeah office. This includes both the initial consultation and future appointments. If blood tests are required, we will refer you to a local functional lab for the necessary tests.
