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
- 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.

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Marina Yuabova
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program in New York City
During Your Initial Consultation
At the initial visit, Dr. Yuabova will hear your concerns, review your medical history, and, with your approval, perform a whole-body energy scan.
Her goal is to identify and address the root cause with diagnostic methods, guiding further testing to apply specific tests. Once the cause is identified, a complete blood panel will be collected, and treatment can begin.
Trouble getting pregnant is often a symptom of an underlying issue. Addressing this issue may improve your chances of conceiving.
Each person’s treatment regimen is adjusted to their specific findings.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
The treatment plan created for you will be unique and encompass a variety of methods. This might include nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbs, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and more to meet your specific requirements. Ongoing assistance is provided to ensure your adherence to the treatment plan. Dr. Yuabova and her team will check in with you consistently every 2 to 4 weeks.
