NOAW, Network for OptimalAging and Wellness, is the internet presence of NEWS, Network for Effective Wellness Services,  our medical practice.   Thru NOAW and NEWS we take pride in helping each individual, be they women or men, young or old, to OptimallyAge.   
   NEWS employs Integrative-Functional-Molecular Medicine to offer alternative care to the "walking wounded" of Traditional Medicine. Traditional Medicine responds well at the point in a patient's life when something "goes horribly wrong". NEWS is dedicated to minimizing and/or preventing those "life altering" situations by teaching you how to avoid that curve. 
   NEWS consists of a General Practice Allopath and a Board Certified GYN Osteopath both trained in Functional-Molecular Medicine. We combine our knowledge bases to help you OptimallyAge and stay well doing so.  Together we have over 80 years of medical training and multiple applications from which to choose to help you on your journey.
    NEWS understand all forms of medicine:  Chinese, Chiropractic, Integrative, Functional-Molecular, Traditional, Osteopathic and combines Acupuncture, Herbals, Homeopathics, Nutriceuticals, Pharmaceuticals, Supplements, Diet, Functional Foods, Specialty Laboratory Testing along with Life Style Changes in a unique individual medical modality that is tailor-made for each individual client. We take potential common chronic aging diseases you might have and embrace Functional, Molecular and genetic testing to help us prevent or treat these situations while fine tuning you with herbs, real foods and exercise. We use medications only when the situation warrants it. Medications are not a "knee jerk" modality for us as long as you, the patient, is motivated to share in the responsibility of your own health care.
   NEWS has always been on the fore front of the 21st Century transformation of medicine by offering Bio-identical HRT and Hormone Pellets as early as 1983. Ten years later in 1993 they were the first medical entity in Northeast Georgia to offer In-Office Bone Mineral Density testing. This was before Fosamx, so growing bone naturally was the only modality they had. Beginning in 1996 Dr. Schultz routinely offered ThinPrep Pap Smears, HPV and Genotyping, all refused by insurance companies as experimental only today to be accept as prefered testing. Starting in 1999 NEWS realized their concept of "Wellness Medicine" was reflected in Functional-Molecular Medicine which they trained for and have practiced since. 2000 they added Vitamin D replacement which was well before the medical world caught on in 2010. Also in early 2000, Testosterone Replacement Therapy for men was offered; it being a natural off shoot of women's Hormone Pellet Therapy. For the last few years, NEWS has been offering Genetic and Advanced Cardio-Lipid Testing for Cardiovascular Health. We felt you shouldn't have to go to a University settings for this important testing; so we brought it to you, right here in Watkinsville, Georgia. Right now, not 5 to 10 years into the future when your insurance company says you can do it. Today we're looking into Testosterone Pellet Therapy for Breast Cancer Patients......Tomorrow, well come back later.
   NEWS prides itself in keeping you well and out of our office. Once we have adjusted your individual biological needs in this modern world, we plan on seeing you once a year. How fast that happens is up to you.
   NOAW will offer our Functional-Molecular Medicine philosophies, practices and products to our patients and health conscience people on the web. Our goal is to make available our OptimalAging information and internet sources that will aid each individual in optimizing their own aging and general wellness.
   NOAW should not take the place of personalized medical care and intervention.  If you cannot personally see us, then talk over any contemplated healthcare changes with your healthcare provider first.
    What it all comes down to, is keeping yourself as healthy as possible so that you are the master of your own fate.  This means keeping yourself informed so that you can stay current in how to maximize your health potential.  
   NEWS and NOAW are dedicated to helping you maintain that edge.
