What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a complex metabolic condition where the body’s cells become less effective at responding to insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating the amount of glucose circulating in the blood. To compensate, the pancreas produces increased quantities of insulin, which leads to elevated levels of both insulin and blood sugar over time. This prolonged imbalance can result in a variety of health complications, including hormonal irregularities and the development of metabolic syndrome, both of which are factors that can negatively influence fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
The impact of insulin resistance on fertility can be profound. For individuals with ovaries, poor insulin regulation contributes to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder that affects fertility. This syndrome involves elevated insulin levels, leading to excessive male hormone production that disrupts ovulation.
For those with testes, insulin resistance can negatively influence fertility by upsetting hormone balance and lowering sperm quality, making conception more difficult. Moreover, insulin resistance is often found alongside obesity, which can amplify fertility problems through hormonal disturbances and physical changes.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Weight gain, most noticeably around the belly or midsection
- Skin changes such as darkened patches called acanthosis nigricans
- Elevated blood pressure readings or persistent feelings of fatigue
- High levels of triglycerides and problems with blood sugar regulation, which might cause increased thirst or blurred vision

Meet Your Doctor: Dr. Yuabova Marina
What To Expect with Our Treatment Program
During Your Initial Consultation
During your introductory consultation, Dr. Yuabova takes a whole-person approach. She’ll discuss your concerns in detail, gather insights from your medical history, and—with your agreement—perform a thorough full-body energy scan.
Her purpose is to go beyond symptoms and find the true cause using available diagnostics. From there, she directs precise testing where it’s most needed. Once she locates the core issue, a complete blood panel is performed to support clinical decisions and begin treatment.
Fertility struggles often point to something deeper. Identifying and resolving that deeper issue is the first step in helping your body return to balance and improve your chances of pregnancy.
Every treatment plan is as unique as you are—carefully crafted based on what your tests and health profile reveal.
During Your Follow-Up Appointments
Treatment is never one-size-fits-all—your plan will be uniquely designed to suit your individual biology and goals. Possible components may include oral or IV-based nutritional therapy, neural therapy, healing herbs, trace minerals, peptides, lifestyle education, and holistic coaching. You’ll also receive continued support to ensure you’re confidently integrating each aspect of the plan.
Dr. Yuabova and her care team will stay actively involved, checking in with you every 2 to 4 weeks to evaluate progress and adapt the approach as needed.
While the average functional fertility treatment lasts between 4 and 6 months, each person’s journey may be longer depending on their unique health profile and treatment response.
