Doctor-Supervised Weight Loss Program in Rapid City, SD

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.

Why Our Rapid City Weight Loss Program Works

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Who Is This Weight Management Program Really For?

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.

Why Choose a Medically Supervised Weight loss Program?

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.

Is This Weight Loss Program the Right Fit for You?

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.

How Does This Doctor-Supervised Weight Loss Program Work?

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.
