What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is a metabolic disorder in which the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar.
This may cause increased insulin and blood sugar levels as your body produces more insulin to make up for the resistance. Over time, it could lead to health concerns like hormonal imbalances and metabolic syndrome, which may impact fertility.

How Insulin Resistance Causes Infertility
Insulin resistance can negatively impact fertility. For individuals with ovaries, altered insulin sensitivity can result in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder that affects reproductive health. In PCOS, elevated insulin causes an overproduction of male hormones, disrupting hormonal balance and interfering with ovulation.
Insulin resistance in individuals with testes can affect hormone levels and lower sperm quality, making conception more difficult. It is also commonly associated with obesity, which can worsen fertility problems due to both hormonal and physical changes.
Symptoms of Insulin Resistance
- Extra weight, particularly around your waistline,
- Dark patches on the skin, known as acanthosis nigricans, as a sign of change in skin condition,
- Elevated blood pressure or overwhelming exhaustion,
- Elevated levels of triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and trouble with sugar metabolism can cause symptoms such as increased thirst or blurred vision.

What To Expect with Our Treatment Program in West Palm Beach
During Your Initial Consultation
At the start of your treatment, Dr. Yuabova will address your concerns, gather your medical history, and, with your consent, perform an energy scan of your entire body.
Her objective is to locate and treat the root cause through diagnostic tools, guiding further testing. Once the cause is identified, Dr. Yuabova will collect a full blood panel, and treatment will begin.
Difficulty with conception might reveal an underlying problem that requires treatment. Resolving this could improve your chances of pregnancy.
Every individual’s treatment journey is designed to address their unique findings.

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your needs and include a range of approaches. These may consist of nutritional therapy (oral or IV), neural therapy, herbal remedies, minerals, peptides, coaching, education, and other beneficial elements.
