What is Insulin Resistance?
The metabolic condition called insulin resistance arises when the cells in your body do not respond properly to insulin, the hormone that plays a key role in controlling blood sugar levels. In response to this decreased sensitivity, your body tries to balance blood glucose by releasing more insulin. This process often leads to abnormally high insulin and glucose levels, which can eventually contribute to several health issues, including hormonal disruptions and metabolic syndrome, both of which have significant implications for fertility and overall reproductive health.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
When insulin function is compromised, it can substantially affect fertility results. In people with ovaries, this impaired insulin response is closely linked to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a prevalent hormonal disorder that challenges female reproductive capacity. PCOS is characterized by high insulin levels that trigger an increase in male hormone production, disrupting ovulation cycles.
Among those with testes, insulin resistance can interfere with reproductive health by changing hormone levels and diminishing sperm quality, hindering the ability to conceive. Insulin resistance also frequently coincides with obesity, further aggravating fertility issues due to both hormonal and physical complications.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Gaining excess weight, particularly centralized around your stomach area
- Changes in skin texture and color, such as darkened areas called acanthosis nigricans
- Experiencing high blood pressure or chronic fatigue
- Increased triglycerides and difficulties in managing blood sugar, which could cause symptoms like increased thirst or blurred vision

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
At your first visit, Dr. Yuabova will begin by getting to know your personal story, reviewing your medical background, and—only with your consent—conducting a full-body energy scan to assess underlying patterns within your system.
Her method is rooted in identifying the root cause using the most appropriate diagnostics available. Once she has a direction, she pinpoints where deeper testing should occur. This leads to a full blood panel that offers solid medical data, forming the basis of your treatment.
If you’re having difficulty conceiving, this is often a symptom of something else happening within your body. By addressing that hidden issue first, your chances of achieving a successful pregnancy can improve naturally.
Because no two health journeys are alike, your treatment plan will reflect your specific situation and test results.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your care plan will be highly personalized and could include a blend of therapeutic techniques. These might range from nutritional therapy—either by mouth or intravenously—to neural therapy, botanical medicine, peptides, minerals, and a robust combination of coaching and education. To support you, we provide structured follow-ups to ensure your plan is being followed effectively.
Dr. Yuabova and her team maintain regular check-ins every 2 to 4 weeks to monitor your progress and make refinements when needed.
Most treatment plans within the functional reproductive medicine framework span 4 to 6 months, although certain cases may require more extended care based on individual circumstances.
Do My Appointments Have to Be In Person?
If you’re based in Parkland, getting the care you need is both convenient and flexible. We offer both telehealth and in-person visits at our Boca Raton location—so whether you prefer to meet virtually or make a short drive, the choice is yours. This applies to your initial consultation and any follow-up appointments. Should you require lab testing, we’ll connect you with a nearby functional lab in or around Parkland, allowing for a smooth and local experience.
