Debra Figueroa Johnson, MS, RN, FNP-C, CPNP-PC

I’m a dual-certified family and pediatric nurse practitioner having earned my degrees from Arizona State University and Frontier Nursing University. I have been a nurse practitioner since 2003 working in a variety of settings including weight loss, family practice, pediatric primary care, rheumatology and oncology.

Healthy and sustainable weight management is a lifelong passion of mine. I know firsthand the power that sugar and junk food can have over your life. I have tried every diet including keto, Atkins, Weight Watchers, vegan, vegetarian and all the fad diets.

At some point, enough was enough, and I developed a sustainable, healthy, enjoyable way of eating. I offer a program based on science as well as my own experience. Medication can be a tool to give you the freedom to enjoy the foods you love and conquer cravings for addictive junk foods. I’m privileged to help my patients achieve their health and weight goals.
