What is Insulin Resistance?
The term insulin resistance refers to a state in which the body’s cells no longer respond adequately to insulin, the hormone that helps transfer sugar from the bloodstream into the cells. In an effort to keep blood sugar in check, the body begins generating more insulin, which leads to elevated concentrations of both sugar and insulin in the blood. This can trigger a cascade of health issues, including imbalanced hormone levels and the progression toward metabolic syndrome, both of which can have a detrimental impact on fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
Insulin resistance can quietly impact several key areas of reproductive function, making it a significant factor in fertility struggles. Among individuals with ovaries, this metabolic issue often contributes to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a major reproductive disorder. High insulin levels increase androgen production, which can interrupt ovulation and disrupt menstrual cycles.
For individuals with testes, the consequences of insulin resistance include impaired hormone balance and weakened sperm development. Additionally, excess body weight, often linked to insulin issues, may worsen fertility difficulties by triggering more widespread changes in hormone levels and physical function.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Gaining excess weight around the abdomen, especially when unrelated to lifestyle habits
- Skin changes like darkened, velvety areas—commonly seen on the neck or inner elbows—also known as acanthosis nigricans
- Constant tiredness that seems unrelenting, and blood pressure readings that remain above the normal range
- High triglyceride levels and inconsistent blood sugar control, which may result in symptoms like frequent urination or blurred vision

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
Your first session with Dr. Yuabova will be an in-depth exploration of your current health concerns, beginning with a comprehensive review of your medical history and, with your consent, a detailed full-body energy scan to evaluate any hidden imbalances.
Her focus during this phase is to identify what is truly driving your fertility struggles by using diagnostic tools that highlight the underlying issue rather than just treating the surface symptoms. This guided approach ensures any further testing is both relevant and effective. Once the root cause is identified, she will request a full-spectrum blood panel to gather additional clinical insight and prepare for the next phase of your care.
Fertility problems often signal a broader health imbalance. Correcting that imbalance from the inside out may increase your chances of conception without the need for overly aggressive treatment.
Your treatment protocol will be shaped around your specific health needs and the findings from your initial assessment, ensuring it aligns with your body’s healing path.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your treatment plan will be thoughtfully tailored to meet your unique health circumstances and may include several integrative therapies to help restore your body’s balance. This might involve nutritional supplementation by mouth or intravenously, herbal interventions, neural therapy, targeted peptide support, essential minerals, customized lifestyle coaching, and regular education to keep you informed and motivated.
Ongoing communication is a priority, and Dr. Yuabova along with her clinical team will follow up every two to four weeks to track your results, make strategic adjustments, and keep your treatment aligned with your needs.
Most individuals complete the core fertility protocol within four to six months, although this varies based on individual health status and how the body responds to therapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can improving insulin sensitivity also improve my chances of conception?
Yes. Better insulin sensitivity helps the body maintain stable blood sugar and promotes healthier hormone levels, both of which play a critical role in fertility. In Longboat Key, individuals with PCOS or insulin-related issues often notice improved ovulation and cycle regularity once their insulin response improves. We support our Longboat Key clients through structured care plans that may include lifestyle changes, professional-grade supplements, and diet adjustments to support conception.
