What is Insulin Resistance?
When the body’s cells stop reacting efficiently to insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance develops. This hormone is essential for moving glucose from the bloodstream into the cells where it can be used for energy. In response to this resistance, the body produces additional insulin, resulting in higher levels of glucose and insulin in circulation. If left unaddressed, this state can lead to hormone imbalances and the development of broader metabolic issues, both of which may hinder fertility and overall reproductive health.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
A compromised insulin response can have far-reaching effects on the reproductive system, interfering with the body’s natural ability to conceive. In individuals with ovaries, this dysfunction is often tied to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a prevalent reproductive condition. The elevated insulin seen in PCOS contributes to increased levels of male hormones, which interfere with regular ovulatory cycles and menstrual function.
In individuals with testes, insulin resistance may lead to irregular hormone production and reduced sperm health. Weight gain linked to insulin issues can compound the problem, as it brings about further hormonal disruptions and physical obstacles to successful conception.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Unexpected weight gain that often concentrates around your waist or abdominal area
- Skin discoloration or darkened patches, typically under the arms or around the neck, medically referred to as acanthosis nigricans
- Chronic fatigue or a persistent lack of energy, along with higher-than-normal blood pressure
- Bloodwork that shows increased triglycerides and difficulty keeping blood sugar stable, which may cause symptoms like blurry vision or frequent thirst

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
At your initial appointment, Dr. Yuabova will invest time in getting to know the details of your health concerns by carefully going over your medical records and, with your approval, performing a thorough full-body energy assessment.
Her main focus during this stage is to uncover what is truly causing your fertility difficulties through targeted, evidence-based diagnostic tools. This step-by-step process allows for more precise testing and eliminates unnecessary guesswork. Once the cause has been narrowed down, a detailed blood panel will be requested to confirm the findings and lay the groundwork for a focused treatment plan.
In many cases, infertility is a reflection of deeper physiological imbalances. Addressing and correcting those imbalances can often lead to improved fertility outcomes naturally.
Your care will be customized from the very beginning, shaped entirely by the insights gathered during this initial discovery phase.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Your customized health plan will be built around your personal medical history, current condition, and goals, combining a blend of natural and functional therapies. These may consist of nutritional support in the form of oral supplements or IV therapy, herbal treatments, peptide therapy, neural therapy, targeted mineral protocols, one-on-one coaching, and continuous health education. We are committed to providing guidance at every stage of your healing journey to ensure you stay aligned with your care goals.
Dr. Yuabova and her medical team will check in with you every two to four weeks to assess your progress, refine your plan as needed, and make sure the therapies are producing meaningful improvements.
While most patients complete their fertility-focused functional medicine program in four to six months, this duration may shift based on your condition and how your body adapts to the treatment.
