Lori Stepp, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, MSCP

Lori Stepp is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal health through personalized, preventive care. Originally from the Bartlett area, Lori relocated to Arlington, Tennessee, in 2022 and is proud to serve patients throughout the Mid-South.

She earned her undergraduate nursing degree from Baptist Memorial College of Health Sciences, her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Memphis, and her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of South Alabama.

Lori began her nursing career as an ICU nurse, where she developed a strong foundation in critical care. She later transitioned into women’s health before becoming a nurse practitioner. As an advanced practice provider, Lori has gained diverse experience in urgent care, pediatric primary care, retail health, and wound care. She has also served as a nursing professor, teaching courses including women’s health, community health, and pharmacology.

After experiencing her own health challenges and being told her symptoms were “normal,” Lori became passionate about helping patients look beyond simply “normal” lab values and focus on achieving optimal wellness. This personal experience inspired her transition into preventive and wellness medicine.

At Lakefront Wellness, Lori focuses on hormone optimization, weight management, nutrition guidance, and vitamin supplementation to help patients feel their best from the inside out. She believes in listening carefully to each patient and providing the time, education, and support necessary to create individualized treatment plans.

Lori is the proud mother of three children — two sons and a daughter. She is passionate about helping both men and women restore their health, regain their energy, and thrive as they age.
