Insulin Resistance Management: How MediGyn Helps You Restore Balance and Reclaim Your Health

If you’ve been battling fatigue, stubborn belly fat, sugar cravings, or difficulty losing weight despite healthy habits, insulin resistance could be the hidden culprit. This common yet often overlooked condition affects how your body processes sugar—and when left unmanaged, it can lead to prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic issues.

At MediGyn, we specialize in hormone-related metabolic conditions like insulin resistance. With a functional medicine-based, personalized approach, we help patients understand the root cause and provide targeted treatments that bring lasting results.

What Is Insulin Resistance?

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps move glucose (sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells for energy. When you’re insulin resistant, your cells don’t respond effectively to insulin, causing your body to produce more of it. Over time, this leads to elevated blood sugar and insulin levels, which trigger fat storage—especially around the belly—and increase your risk for chronic diseases.

Common Symptoms of Insulin Resistance:

  • Constant fatigue or low energy

  • Increased hunger or sugar cravings

  • Difficulty losing weight, especially around the abdomen

  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

  • Irregular menstrual cycles (in women)

  • Dark patches of skin (often on the neck or armpits)

  • Elevated blood sugar or prediabetes diagnosis

What Causes Insulin Resistance?

  • High-carb, high-sugar diets

  • Sedentary lifestyle

  • Chronic stress (elevates cortisol, which interferes with insulin sensitivity)

  • Hormonal imbalances (e.g., PCOS, thyroid issues, menopause)

  • Lack of sleep

  • Genetics and family history

Why Is Insulin Resistance a Problem?

If left unmanaged, insulin resistance can progress into type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease, and even certain cancers. It also worsens hormonal conditions like PCOS and contributes to obesity and inflammation throughout the body.

The good news? Insulin resistance is reversible—especially with the right guidance and early intervention.

How MediGyn Treats Insulin Resistance

At MediGyn, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, we use advanced diagnostic testing to understand your hormonal profile, metabolic status, and lifestyle factors. Based on this information, we create a personalized insulin resistance management plan that may include:

  1. Medical Therapy

Depending on your lab results, we may prescribe medications that improve insulin sensitivity, such as:

  • Metformin: A widely used medication that helps reduce blood sugar and improve the body’s response to insulin.

  • GLP-1 Agonists (e.g., Semaglutide): These support appetite regulation and glucose control while promoting weight loss.

These are always prescribed under the supervision of our medical team, and we monitor your response closely.

  1. Hormonal Balancing

Hormonal issues like estrogen dominance, low thyroid, and cortisol imbalances can make insulin resistance worse. Our integrative approach may include:

  • Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)

  • Thyroid hormone optimization

  • Stress hormone management (including adrenal support)

  1. Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching

We offer personalized nutrition plans focused on:

  • Low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory foods

  • Timed eating or intermittent fasting (when appropriate)

  • Reducing sugar and refined carbs

  • Incorporating insulin-sensitizing foods like leafy greens, healthy fats, and fiber

We also help design an exercise plan tailored to your fitness level—because movement significantly improves insulin sensitivity.

  1. Supplement Support

Based on your needs, our experts may recommend scientifically backed supplements such as:

  • Berberine

  • Magnesium

  • Chromium

  • Alpha-lipoic acid

  • Inositol (especially for women with PCOS)

These supplements work synergistically to support glucose metabolism and insulin function.

Benefits of Managing Insulin Resistance with MediGyn

  • Sustainable weight loss and fat reduction

  • Improved energy and mental clarity

  • Reduced sugar cravings

  • Balanced hormones

  • Lower risk of diabetes and metabolic disease

  • Better sleep and mood

  • Enhanced overall well-being

Who Should Get Tested for Insulin Resistance?

You may benefit from insulin resistance testing if you:

  • Have a family history of diabetes

  • Struggle with weight despite eating healthy and exercising

  • Have PCOS or irregular periods

  • Feel tired after meals or crave sugar often

  • Have been diagnosed with prediabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure

Mr. Homajun Nobacht

Pharmacist and BHRT Specialist

Born in Tehran in 1962, Homajun Nobacht competed his Pharmacy studies at the Goethe University in Frankfurt in 1995.

Homajun has dedicated his life to the development of and working with bioidentical hormones with a total experience being over 25 years. He leads a Team of Pharmasists who offer personalised formulations for patients in the context of bioidentical hormone therapy and anti-ageing.

The base product for bioidentical hormones produced by the pharmacy is obtained  from a yam root, the ingredients of which are the so-called diosgenins and these have a structure that is similar to our sex hormones. The diosgenins are then semi-enzymatically converted to progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, testosterone and estradiol using Marker methods.

We use these hormones in micronized form, which is very important for the bioidentical hormones to work. The micronization and dispersion in olive oil ensures that the hormones bypass the first pass effect without damaging the liver in the long-term.

Ms. Irina Bond

CEO, Founder & Well-Ageing Expert

Dedicated to assisting their patients through any stage of menopause, Irina demonstrated undoubted passion, extensive experience and know-how of guiding and empowering female patients in navigating this transformative journey and rediscovering themselves.

With over 15 years of heartfelt dedication, Irina has guided countless international clients on their paths to natural well-ageing with Purifyne Cleanse and now at Medi-Gyn Center. Her passion and profound expertise intertwine to empower clients to embrace their best selves, both physically and emotionally.

Irina’s Transformative Beginning

Irina’s journey towards healthy living and wellness took root amidst the shadows of one of the most tragic nuclear disasters in history – Chernobyl. At just 12 years old, she and her family were forced to evacuate multiple times from their home, as they navigated life in an area deemed an ‘exclusion zone.’ This challenging experience instilled in her a vital understanding of nutrition and the importance of safe food choices, shaping her values and mission later on.

A Journey Across Europe

Her path led her from the troubled grounds of Chernobyl to Poland, then across the UK, France, Monte-Carlo, and finally to Dubai. Throughout her travels, she passionately shared her message of “lifespan and health-span,” touching the lives of many along the way.

Upon arriving in London in 1998, Irina initially embarked on a career in banking from 2003 to 2009. However, her heart remained committed to the world of naturopathic medicine. She immersed herself in researching wellness, dedicating her time to understanding natural body cleansing, remedies, and holistic well-being, all of which would later influence her work in well-ageing.

Founding Purifyne Cleanse

Her relentless pursuit of knowledge and the desire to help others culminated in the creation of Purifyne Cleanse Ltd., one of the UK’s pioneering Juice Detox Companies, which she ran from 2009 to 2016. Simultaneously, she supported international clients in their Well-Ageing Programmes, focusing on body detoxification, weight management, and enhancing both lifespan and healthspan for nearly 15 years.

Educational Pursuits in Naturopathy

The success of her Well-Ageing Programmes brought joy to many, as clients reported feeling revitalised and healthier within days of joining. Their transformations were a testament to her dedication, and her programmes garnered recognition and endorsements from respected medical practitioners and therapists across the UK. Propelled by her passion and the positive impact she made, Irina pursued Naturopathic Studies at the College of Natural Medicine (CNM) in London.

Today, Irina Bond stands as the compassionate Founder/ CEO and Well-Ageing Expert at Medi-Gyn Center in Dubai. Her extensive experience and heartfelt commitment warm the hearts of those she serves, guiding each client to become the best version of themselves. By blending her diverse skill set in product knowledge, business development, linguistic and client management, she continues to champion the values of well-ageing and hormone balance, making a difference in the lives of many.
