At Road to Fertility, we acknowledge that taking control of your reproductive health starts with knowing the broader workings of your body. Our thorough treatment plans aim to tackle insulin resistance, an essential factor in fertility. Our approach focuses on a functional and holistic method that includes diet, lifestyle changes, and medical treatments to restore and optimize your body’s insulin sensitivity for better reproductive function.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a metabolic state in which the body’s cells do not react properly to insulin, the hormone that regulates blood glucose.

This can result in increased insulin and blood glucose levels due to your body compensating by producing more insulin. Eventually, this can lead to health concerns like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome that might affect your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can deeply affect fertility outcomes. For individuals with ovaries, changes in insulin sensitivity can result in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an endocrine disorder that significantly impacts female reproductive health. PCOS is characterized by elevated insulin levels, leading to an overproduction of male hormones and causing hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.



Insulin resistance can affect reproductive health in individuals with testes by altering hormone levels and lowering sperm quality, making conception more difficult. In addition, insulin resistance often correlates with obesity, which can heighten fertility challenges because of hormonal and physical transformations.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Being aware of the signs of insulin resistance can lead to early treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common symptoms include:

  • Weight gain, particularly around your midriff,
  • Changes in skin tone, such as dark spots (commonly known as acanthosis nigricans),
  • Elevated blood pressure or experiencing severe fatigue,
  • Elevated triglyceride levels (a type of blood fat) and issues with sugar processing, possibly leading to heightened thirst or blurred vision.

These symptoms are often linked to additional health problems that can impact 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 Nevada

During Your Initial Consultation

At the initial consultation, Dr. Yuabova will listen to your concerns, take your medical history, and conduct a whole-body energy scan with your approval.

She aims to find and address the problem’s root cause using available diagnostics, leading to further testing for specific needs. After identifying the cause, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can start.

Trouble getting pregnant may be a symptom of an underlying issue. Addressing this underlying issue could help you achieve pregnancy.

Treatments are personalized to suit your specific findings and circumstances.

During Your Follow-Up Appointments

Your treatment plan will be uniquely tailored to include a range of approaches suited to your particular situation. This could involve nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other therapeutic options. Ongoing assistance is provided to ensure adherence to your treatment plan. Dr. Yuabova and her team will touch base with you every 2 to 4 weeks.

Treatments in functional reproductive medicine generally span 4 to 6 months, with flexibility to accommodate personal circumstances.

Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?

We provide the option of telehealth or in-person appointments for patients at our Nevada office. This involves both the initial consultation and any subsequent appointments. If blood work is needed, we’ll send you to a nearby functional lab that is capable of conducting the blood tests.
