At Road to Fertility, we know that the path to managing reproductive health begins with understanding the wider aspects of your body’s function. Our comprehensive programs are structured to address insulin resistance, a significant factor in fertility. By taking a functional and holistic approach that includes diet, lifestyle adjustments, and medical interventions, we work to restore and optimize your body’s insulin sensitivity for better reproductive health.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a disorder where the body’s cells fail to respond correctly to insulin, the hormone that manages blood glucose levels.

This can lead to increased levels of insulin and blood glucose as your body tries to compensate by producing more insulin. This can cause a range of health problems over time, including hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which may impact your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can majorly affect fertility outcomes. For individuals with ovaries, disturbances in insulin sensitivity can lead to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common disorder significantly impacting female reproductive health. PCOS is marked by excessive insulin levels, which can cause an overproduction of male hormones and result in hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.


For people with testes, insulin resistance can influence reproductive health by disrupting hormone levels and decreasing sperm quality, which can impede conception. Moreover, insulin resistance is typically associated with obesity, which can complicate fertility challenges because of hormonal and physical transformations.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Identifying the symptoms of insulin resistance can aid in receiving early treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common signs include:
  • Gaining extra weight, particularly around your belly area,
  • Changes in skin pigment, such as dark areas (identified as acanthosis nigricans),
  • Elevated blood pressure or experiencing extreme exhaustion,
  • Elevated triglyceride amounts (a type of blood lipid) and problems with sugar processing, potentially causing increased thirst or blurred vision.

These symptoms are commonly linked to other health problems that can impact both 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 Miami

During Your Initial Consultation

During your first visit, Dr. Yuabova will address your concerns, gather your medical history, and, with your permission, perform a whole-body energy scan.

Her aim is to identify and treat the root cause with available diagnostic methods, guiding further testing for specific needs. Once the cause is determined, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can begin.

Difficulty becoming pregnant could indicate an underlying concern. Addressing this issue may increase your chances of conceiving.

Every individual’s treatment approach is tailored to their specific results.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment approach will be personalized and will encompass a spectrum of methods to suit your needs. This could involve nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal treatments, minerals, peptides, coaching, educational resources, and more. Ongoing support is offered to ensure your treatment plan is executed accurately. Dr. Yuabova and her team will monitor your progress every 2 to 4 weeks.

Functional reproductive medicine treatments generally last from 4 to 6 months, with potential adjustments to suit personal needs.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

We provide the option for telehealth or in-person appointments at our Miami practice. This encompasses both the initial consultation and follow-up appointments. If blood work is required, we’ll send you to a nearby functional lab that is equipped for performing the tests.
