Lesa Benton, AGPCNP-BC, is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 13 years of healthcare experience and over 25 years of experience in physical and somatic wellness. Her background bridges traditional primary care with functional and integrative medicine, incorporating evidence-informed approaches to metabolic and hormone health, digestive wellness, mental health, and nervous system regulation. Drawing on decades of experience in movement, body-based practices, and somatic care, Lesa takes a whole-person approach that recognizes the dynamic relationship between physical health, emotional well-being, nervous system function, and quality of life. Lesa believes the best healthcare is built through partnership. She views patients as the ultimate experts on their own bodies, experiences, values, and goals, while bringing her clinical knowledge, experience, and evidence-informed perspective to that partnership. Her role is to listen carefully, help patients make sense of the dynamic factors influencing their health, and provide clear information and thoughtful recommendations. She values shared decision-making over a prescriptive approach, working collaboratively with each patient to develop a plan that is medically sound, realistic, and aligned with what matters most to them. Above all, Lesa believes patients should feel heard, respected, informed, and empowered as active participants in their own care.
