After retiring from the NFL, former Falcons tight end Alge Crumpler's health rapidly declined. Now a new documentary chronicles Crumpler's challenges and recovery with the help of Emory Healthcare. Dr. Scott Boden talks with Alyse Eady about Alge's story and ways to stay healthy after retirement.

Falcons & Emory Healthcare documentary to launch on YouTube: Over the past decade, the NFL, Players and Alumni Association have increased focus and investment in player health. Greater awareness paired with rapidly evolving approaches to health and wellness have led the NFL to implement programs to improve the safety of current players and to support former players with health issues they are experiencing in retirement. Emory Healthcare became the official team healthcare provider of the Atlanta Falcons in 2017. In 2019, the two organizations elevated their partnership to bring major health and wellness initiatives to the Atlanta community, including research new technologies at Emory Orthopaedics & Spine Center at Flowery Branch. Dr. Scott Boden, chair of Orthopaedics at Emory University School of Medicine, discuss the documentary and the health and wellness challenges players face after retirement.

Tips for keeping your children safe online

If you take a peek at a child's Christmas list, chances are you'll see some kind of technology request and with that comes a certain level of risk. Angie Boy with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's Strong4Life joins Alyse Eady to share ways to keep kids safe online no matter the device or app.

Expert Angie Boy talks digital and internet safety: Many of this year's hottest tech gifts for kids (e.g., virtual reality headsets, video game consoles, smartwatches and wireless headphones) come with some safety risks. While there are some proven benefits to kids using technology, such as connection, self-expression, and healthy entertainment that promotes happiness and support, the risks and harms remain staggering. Algorithms in apps such as YouTube and TikTok have been engineered to promote clicks based on recent searches in a way that leads kids to videos with explicit/sexual lyrics, dangerous situations, access to pornography, etc.
