What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance describes a metabolic state in which the body’s cells exhibit a diminished response to insulin, the hormone essential for regulating glucose levels in the blood. Due to this resistance, the body compensates by producing more insulin to maintain normal blood sugar control. Persistently elevated insulin and glucose levels can, over time, cause a variety of health concerns, including disturbances in hormonal equilibrium and the onset of metabolic syndrome, both of which may adversely affect an individual’s ability to conceive.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
Resistance to insulin can have far-reaching consequences for fertility. In those with ovaries, disrupted insulin sensitivity can lead to disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a frequent cause of female reproductive difficulties. This condition is characterized by elevated insulin that causes an overproduction of male hormones, interfering with the normal ovulation process.
For individuals with testes, insulin resistance may negatively affect fertility by altering hormone levels and reducing sperm health, thus complicating conception. Furthermore, insulin resistance is commonly linked to obesity, which can worsen fertility by impacting hormonal balance and physical well-being.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Noticeable weight gain, particularly around the abdominal region
- Skin discoloration, including dark patches known as acanthosis nigricans
- Elevated blood pressure or feelings of extreme fatigue
- High blood fat levels (triglycerides) and impaired blood sugar control, which can result in symptoms like excessive thirst or blurred eyesight

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
Dr. Yuabova starts each new consultation by taking a compassionate and comprehensive look at your health. She’ll listen to your concerns, examine your medical history, and—should you agree—conduct a full-body energy scan to assess deeper imbalances.
Her focus is on uncovering the core issue behind your symptoms. Using available diagnostic tools, she determines where more specific testing is needed. Once the root cause has been identified, she confirms it through a full blood panel, allowing her to design the most effective treatment plan for you.
Fertility issues are often signs of a deeper disruption in your health. When these issues are properly addressed, your body may respond by becoming more receptive to pregnancy.
Your treatment won’t be generic—it will be specifically built around your personal diagnostic results and health needs.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Every patient receives a plan crafted just for them, which can incorporate an array of natural and functional therapies. These often include oral or IV-based nutritional therapy, neural therapy, plant-based and mineral treatments, peptide protocols, and holistic coaching and education. To keep your progress on track, continuous support is offered as part of the process.
Follow-ups with Dr. Yuabova and her care team are typically scheduled every 2 to 4 weeks, ensuring you’re successfully implementing each component of the treatment.
Most functional medicine-based fertility plans range from 4 to 6 months in duration, although this can extend depending on how your body responds to the interventions.
