At Road to Fertility, we emphasize that the first step in managing reproductive health is a thorough understanding of your body’s broader functions. Our treatment plans are tailored to tackle insulin resistance, an essential factor affecting fertility. By employing a comprehensive and holistic method that encompasses diet, lifestyle changes, and medical interventions, we aim to restore and enhance your body’s insulin sensitivity for improved reproductive function.

What is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin resistance is a metabolic issue in which the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin, the hormone responsible for controlling blood glucose levels.

This can cause higher insulin and blood glucose levels as your body tries to compensate by generating more insulin. Eventually, this can contribute to health problems like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome that could impact your fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility

Insulin resistance can strongly affect fertility outcomes. For those with ovaries, insulin sensitivity impairments can result in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common disorder impacting female reproductive health. PCOS involves excess insulin, leading to an overproduction of male hormones and resulting in hormonal imbalances that disrupt ovulation.



Insulin resistance can affect reproductive health in those with testes by altering hormone levels and reducing sperm quality, complicating the conception process. In addition, insulin resistance often correlates with obesity, which can exacerbate fertility issues due to hormonal and physical changes.

Symptoms of Insulin Resistance

Recognizing the symptoms of insulin resistance can assist in accessing early treatment from our team at Road to Fertility. Common signs include:
  • Weight gain, particularly around your midsection,
  • Changes in skin texture, like darkened spots (referred to as acanthosis nigricans),
  • High blood pressure or feeling profoundly tired,
  • Elevated triglyceride levels (a type of blood lipid) and issues with sugar metabolism, possibly leading to increased thirst or blurred vision.

These signs are typically related to other health conditions that can influence 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. Marina Yuabova 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”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can improving insulin sensitivity also improve my chances of conception?
Yes, improving insulin levels and sensitivity is crucial in addressing fertility concerns related to conditions such as PCOS. It may involve lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, and the use of medical-grade supplements, alongside other therapeutic approaches.
What is the link between insulin resistance and PCOS?
Women with PCOS often experience disrupted ovulation due to increased male hormone production linked to insulin resistance. This hormonal imbalance can lead to irregular periods, excessive hair growth, and thinning hair. Managing insulin resistance is key to addressing these symptoms, and treatments such as birth control pills and holistic approaches can help regulate hormonal imbalance and improve overall reproductive health.
What other conditions are associated with insulin resistance that could affect fertility?
Insulin resistance, besides being associated with PCOS, is frequently seen in individuals with metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, and abnormal glucose metabolism, affecting reproductive health in both men and women.
Are there specific dietary recommendations for managing insulin resistance?
Yes, a diet low in refined carbohydrates and high in fiber can assist in managing insulin levels effectively. Foods that improve insulin sensitivity include whole grains, leafy greens, and omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. Our team at Road to Fertility in New York City is dedicated to helping you discover the foods that promote your well-being.
