Hormone Therapy in Franklin, MA

Physician-supervised hormone therapy

Hormone therapy replaces what your body has stopped making enough of, with dosing guided by lab work and monitored by a physician. At DC Medical, HRT isn’t a mail-order kit — it’s optimization managed directly by Dr. David Cunningham, with labs and medications built into the program.

What HRT can address

• Low energy, fatigue, and poor recovery
• Reduced strength, drive, and focus
• Changes in mood, sleep, and body composition

Part of a longevity model

HRT at DC Medical sits alongside regenerative medicine and the Peak Health longevity memberships — Peak Longevity ($299/month, virtual), Peak Essentials ($499/month, with concierge primary care), and Peak Premier ($999/month, with regenerative sessions) — so hormones are optimized within a broader plan for how you feel and perform.

How care is delivered

DC Medical uses a virtual and in-office model, so labs, follow-ups, and dose adjustments can happen the way that fits your schedule, at the Franklin, Massachusetts office or remotely.

What to expect before starting HRT

A useful first conversation starts with the reason you are looking for hormone therapy. You may be noticing a change in energy, recovery, sleep, body composition, focus, or drive. Those experiences can have more than one explanation, so the purpose of the intake is to organize the full picture instead of assuming that a single symptom identifies the answer.

Dr. David Cunningham reviews your history, the goals you bring to the conversation, and the lab information needed to decide whether the HRT program is appropriate. The practice describes the program as physician supervised because the same physician remains involved in the plan. That structure gives you a place to discuss the data, ask questions, and understand what will be monitored.

Hormone therapy is not a substitute for sleep, nutrition, movement, or attention to other health concerns. It is one possible part of a broader plan. If your goals also include ongoing primary care or longevity planning, the concierge primary care relationship and Peak Health memberships explain how those services fit into the practice.

How the three-month program is structured

The HRT program is priced at $900 for three months. The published inclusion is clear: labs, medications, and direct MD oversight. That price gives a prospective patient a concrete starting point for a conversation about what is included and what may be outside the program. It also makes the program different from an unclear subscription where the cost is separated from testing or follow-up.

At the beginning, lab work creates a baseline. The baseline is considered alongside the history and goals discussed with Dr. Cunningham. If a plan is appropriate, dosing is guided by bloodwork and by how you feel over time. Follow-up is important because the plan is meant to be reviewed and adjusted rather than selected once and left alone.

The exact cadence of testing, the medication plan, and any adjustment are determined during the physician relationship. This page does not promise a particular result or timeline. People respond differently, and candidacy, treatment choices, and monitoring depend on an individual evaluation.

Questions worth asking at a first visit

• What symptoms or goals should be part of the initial discussion?
• Which lab information is needed before a plan can be considered?
• How will follow-up bloodwork and response be reviewed?
• Which parts of the program are included in the three-month price?
• Could a virtual follow-up be appropriate for my situation?
• How might hormone care connect with longevity or primary care?

These questions help keep the conversation specific. They also give you a way to compare physician access, lab review, care format, and published pricing when looking at hormone therapy near Franklin. The testosterone therapy overview for Wrentham describes the same physician-led model for patients coming from nearby communities.

When a broader care model may make sense

Some people arrive with one clear question about hormones. Others want a physician to connect that question to primary care, regenerative medicine, and long-term health planning. DC Medical organizes those services as four connected pillars. Hormone optimization can sit alongside concierge primary care through Peak Essentials or Peak Premier, while Peak Longevity offers an exclusively virtual option without primary care.

Peak Essentials is $499 per month and includes concierge primary care through in-person and virtual care. Peak Premier is $999 per month and adds four regenerative medicine sessions each month. Peak Longevity is $299 per month, exclusively virtual, and does not include primary care. Memberships and the HRT program are different offerings, so the first visit is the right place to clarify which path matches your goals.

What a useful HRT conversation sounds like

A useful conversation is specific about what you want to understand and open about what is not yet known. You can ask how symptoms fit into the history, which lab information is relevant, how the physician will monitor response, and what happens if the plan needs to change. You can ask what the three-month price covers and which services are separate.

That approach respects the fact that hormone therapy is individualized. The same symptom can have different causes, and the same plan does not fit every patient. The practice can decide whether HRT is appropriate after reviewing the information. Patients can also ask about the broader men’s health model or the women’s hormone therapy guide when those questions are relevant.

Use the request-a-visit flow to begin a conversation about fit. Keep personal health information out of the form. For basic logistics, call DC Medical at (508) 593-9673.

What responsible follow-up means

Follow-up is where a patient can ask whether the plan is still appropriate, share how the process is going, and review the information the physician requested. Lab work is one part of that review. The conversation about goals and response is another. The practice can decide whether the plan should continue, be adjusted, or be reconsidered.

Patients should also ask what to do when a question falls outside the HRT program. The answer may involve a separate service, another clinician, additional testing, or a different setting. Making that clear before starting helps keep expectations realistic and keeps the program connected to the rest of the patient’s health picture.
