What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is defined by the body’s decreased ability to use insulin effectively, which is vital for managing blood sugar levels. When cells fail to respond as they should, the pancreas compensates by producing more insulin, leading to heightened insulin and glucose levels in the bloodstream. This persistent imbalance can disrupt the body’s hormonal systems and increase the risk of metabolic syndrome—factors that are known to interfere with healthy reproductive function and may complicate efforts to conceive.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
When insulin signaling becomes disrupted, the body may experience challenges that affect reproductive outcomes. In people with ovaries, one of the most common fertility-related consequences is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition involves insulin spikes that trigger increased androgen levels, leading to hormonal disharmony that can suppress ovulation and prevent conception.
People with testes may also experience fertility issues, as insulin resistance can impair hormone synthesis and lower sperm count and quality. Obesity—frequently associated with poor insulin sensitivity—adds another layer of complication by further upsetting the body’s natural reproductive balance.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Accumulation of body fat around the belly, even without major changes in diet or exercise
- Dark, thick patches of skin—usually found in areas like the neck or armpits—known clinically as acanthosis nigricans
- Recurring fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, or consistently high blood pressure
- Abnormal lab results showing elevated triglycerides and irregular blood sugar levels, often accompanied by increased thirst or occasional vision disturbances

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
At the start of your journey, Dr. Yuabova will prioritize understanding your unique health picture by exploring your full medical history and, with your permission, conducting a comprehensive energy scan to detect imbalances throughout your body.
The primary aim is to identify the true source of your fertility issues by employing the right diagnostic strategies. This thorough discovery process helps ensure that any additional evaluations are highly targeted and relevant. After the core problem is identified, a full blood panel will be completed to gather supporting clinical data, marking the first step toward developing your treatment strategy.
Infertility is often not a standalone problem but an indicator of deeper dysfunction within the body. By resolving that underlying issue, your fertility may improve naturally, without the need for invasive interventions.
Treatment is never generic; instead, it’s based entirely on your individual assessment results and designed to meet your body’s unique healing needs.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Each treatment plan is uniquely designed to match your specific health profile, drawing from a combination of integrative therapies to support overall wellness and reproductive health. This can include nutritional strategies delivered via oral supplements or IV therapy, herbal formulas, peptides tailored to your physiology, neural therapy, therapeutic minerals, personalized coaching sessions, and ongoing education to empower you throughout the process.
Dr. Yuabova and her team remain actively involved in your care, meeting with you every two to four weeks to assess your response, make any necessary changes, and ensure you are progressing steadily.
On average, clients complete their full functional medicine protocol within a four to six-month window, although individual timelines may vary depending on the condition being treated and how quickly healing occurs.
