All right, let’s just get this out of the way. If you’re here, you’re probably tired of trying weight-loss plans that work about as well as a screen door on a submarine. A doctor-supervised weight loss program in Rapid City, SD gives you something you don’t get from those fad diets: real clinical structure, real testing, and someone making sure you’re not flying blind.
And here’s the kicker — there isn’t another program like this within 200 miles.
Yeah, I know. Around here, that’s practically saying you can’t even accidentally stumble into something similar.
At Kovacs Chiropractic & Functional Medicine, the goal is simple: help you drop 20–35 pounds in about six weeks using a ChiroThin®-based, drug-free protocol shaped around your metabolism, hormones, and body composition.
No guessing. No gimmicks. Just a supervised plan that actually treats your body like it matters… because it does.


Doctor-Supervised & Clinically Structured
Our trained healthcare professional oversees every phase. We assess, track, and explain each step so you understand how your body is responding to the plan.
Nutrition Built Around Your Metabolism
Using your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and health history, we personalize caloric intake and macronutrient needs. No generic charts—only individualized science-based plans.
True Fat-Loss Tracking
We evaluate body composition, not just weight, using biometrics to track fat loss, hydration, and lean mass for measurable, meaningful progress.
In-Clinic and Virtual Support
Whether you're in Rapid City, the Black Hills, or outside South Dakota, you can complete your check-ins via secure telehealth. Our team provides personalized support with HIPAA-compliant tools.
Built on the ChiroThin® Framework
The ChiroThin® program gives structure, safety, and proven nutritional outcomes. We layer in emotional reset tools, functional medicine testing, and lifestyle strategy to extend results beyond the 6-week protocol.

Now look, this isn’t for people who “might want to drop a pound or two if the stars align.”
No. This is for the folks who are ready to get real about it.
If any of this sounds like you, yeah… this program is talking directly to you:
1. You’ve been diagnosed with obesity or weight-related conditions
Sleep apnea. High blood pressure. Labs that make your doctor sigh like they’re bracing for impact.
You know the drill.
2. You’ve tried every DIY diet known to mankind
You lose five pounds, celebrate, and somehow gain back seven.
I’ve done it. I’ve got “goal pants” older than some cars.
3. Your body is doing stuff no basic diet can explain
Hormones out of whack.
Stress eating.
Weight gain that appears like your fridge is working night shifts against you.
4. No one has checked your metabolic rate or nutrient levels
If the only advice you’ve ever gotten is “eat less,” congratulations — you’ve officially been under-evaluated.
5. You want structure, accountability, and a clinical plan
Someone to track your data, explain your progress, adjust things, and keep you from going face-first into a tray of muffins.
Obviously, that’s the point of supervision.

We go deeper than typical weight-loss programs by identifying, measuring, and correcting these root causes. Our program supports those struggling with:
Type 2 diabetes
Metabolic syndrome
Chronic inflammation
Hormonal weight gain
Stress-driven eating
Weight-loss resistance
We don’t guess. We test, interpret, and guide.


If you’re wondering, “Okay but is this my thing?” here’s the quick checklist.
This program is a match if:
You’ve been diagnosed with obesity or weight-related conditions
You’ve experienced rebound weight gain after dieting
You’re stuck in emotional or stress-eating cycles
You’ve never had your metabolic rate tested
You want natural alternatives to stimulants, injections, or prescription drugs
You need structured guidance, accountability, and support
If you nodded at even one of those, you’re in the right spot.

Intake & Evaluation
We review your medical history, lifestyle, BMR, and lab data to recommend the right tier: Basic, Plus, or Premium.

Customized Weight Loss Protocol
We build your plan around metabolic markers, food sensitivities, and personal schedule. You’ll know what to eat, when, and how much—with clarity.

Active Fat Loss Phase
Weekly progress reviews include in-office or telehealth check-ins. We analyze composition data and adapt in real time.

Reintroduction & Stabilization
As fat loss concludes, we restore food variety and stabilize your metabolism. We avoid rebound gain with coaching and structured reintroduction.

Long-Term Support & Weight Management
We offer tools, behavioral training, and extended coaching options to help you maintain results well beyond the initial phase.
Thousands have experienced safe, doctor-supervised weight loss through the ChiroThin® program. While our Rapid City location is just beginning to offer this service, here are just a few real stories from people across the country who have used ChiroThin® to change their lives.
I lost 23 pounds in just 6 weeks. I feel like myself again. This program didn’t just change how I look — it changed how I think about food and health.

My energy is back, my clothes fit, and for the first time in years, I’m in control. Having doctor check-ins made all the difference.
— Mike S., 44
I’ve tried diets, shakes, and online plans. This one finally worked because it was real — guided, accountable, and tailored to me.
— Susan L., 51
Results vary. Testimonials reflect individual experiences with the ChiroThin® program under medical supervision.

Because you get decades of clinical experience and a setup you won’t find anywhere within 200 miles.
Tools include:
Chiropractic treatment to support nervous system regulation
Functional medicine testing to identify root cause barriers
ChiroThin as the clinical nutritional core
TFT and HeartMath to interrupt stress and emotional sabotage
Optional detox and lab panels for advanced customization
It’s medically supervised, data-driven, and drug-free. And honestly, that combination is pretty rare around here.
Yes. No stimulants, no prescription drugs, and no guesswork. Everything is supervised and built around your lab markers and clinical progress.
Absolutely. Our telehealth weight management system supports digital check-ins, coaching, and video-based learning.
Most clients lose between 20–35 pounds of fat in 6 weeks. Factors include adherence, BMR, and baseline health.
We assess, monitor, and guide every aspect of your transformation. This is not a retail program—it’s a complete metabolic and behavioral reset.
Call today to schedule your functional weight-loss consultation. Discover why true weight loss requires more than calories—it requires clinical strategy.
