About the Practice

A Team Built for the Kids Nobody Can Figure Out

Journey Pediatrics was founded on a simple belief: every child deserves someone who won't stop looking for answers.

Meet Alice LoGuidice

MSN, APRN, CPNP-PC, FMCHC

Alice is a nurse practitioner with advanced training from the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), and the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA).

She built Journey Pediatrics because she kept seeing the same thing: bright, wonderfully complex kids falling through the cracks of conventional medicine. Parents told "they'll grow out of it." Labs that never got run. Fifteen-minute appointments for problems that needed sixty.

Alice doesn't do band-aids. She runs the panels, reads the data, and stays with families until the picture makes sense.

With 24 years of clinical experience and a deep personal investment in getting this right — she's also a mother of three — Alice didn't create another medical practice. She created the one she wished existed.

The Journey Team

More Than One Person Behind the Curtain

Journey isn't a one-person practice. Behind every patient interaction is a team handling coordination, follow-ups, and operations — so your clinician can focus entirely on your child.

From discovery calls to follow-up visits, you're never just talking to a machine — you're talking to people who know your child's story.

Our Approach

The Functional Medicine Approach

Traditional pediatrics asks: What symptoms do we see? Functional medicine asks: Why are those symptoms there in the first place?

We use the IFM framework — symptoms are the branches, and we work our way down to the roots: genetics, gut health, inflammation, environmental triggers, nutritional status. This isn't alternative medicine. It's thorough medicine.

🔍

Root-Cause Investigation

Advanced lab panels and comprehensive evaluation to understand what's driving your child's symptoms — not just managing them.

🌱

Whole-Child Treatment

Nutrition, environment, gut health, immune function, sleep — we look at every system because they're all connected.

🤝

Partnership with Families

You know your child better than anyone. We bring the clinical expertise. Together, we build a plan that works for your family.

What that looks like in practice

  • Comprehensive lab panels — including gut health, hormonal, and metabolic markers most standard labs never run
  • 60-minute visits focused on building a full clinical picture
  • Individualized treatment protocols — not cookie-cutter plans
  • Ongoing support between visits via messaging
