Dr. Amicone
Dr. Christina Amicone graduated magna cum laude from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor of Science in nutrition, and a minor in biology in 2002. She graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington with a doctorate in naturopathic medicine in 2006. Bastyr is one of four accredited naturopathic universities in the country and the only school renowned for its foundation in the sciences and research.
After graduating, she accepted a CNME approved residency position in Billings, Montana because it included a specialty track in Naturopathic Oncology. During her three year residency she worked in an oncology practice with 5 medical oncologists and 2 radiation oncologists, co-managing cancer patients to reduce the side-effects of conventional treatments and improve outcomes. She has treated patients undergoing treatment for a wide array of cancer types and stages. Her residency also included a focus on naturopathic primary care at the largest naturopathic clinic in Montana and surrounding states. She has a special interest in naturopathic detoxification, gastrointestinal problems (including irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease), women’s health (annual exams, menstrual problems and menopause), autoimmune diseases, food sensitivities and cancer care.
She is excited to be back in Connecticut and is seeing patients at The Center for Natural Medicine when she is not with her 2 year old daughter, Ayla and ruggedly handsome partner, Jason.
