Speaker 4 I keep telling them not to say that. I'm no superhuman.
Believe it or not, I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA.

Speaker 4 In adults with obesity, moderate to severe OSA is a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep with loud snoring, choking, gasping for air, and even daytime fatigue.

Speaker 4 Let's just say it can sound a lot like this.

Speaker 1 Everything you do to someone does eventually come back to you. Everything you do, all actions have reactions.

Speaker 1 There are some questions that I've never been able to really answer. And the only way to really answer them is to go back, which Jonathan persuaded me to do

Speaker 5 It looks like that.

Speaker 5 But you never know.

Speaker 3 Everybody knows Shaq, but off camera, he's just a regular guy.

Speaker 4 People never believe me when I say I'm just like them. I take out the trash, do dishes, and I struggle with moderate obstructive sleep apnea or OSA.

Speaker 4 And a lot of adults with obesity also struggle with moderate to severe OSA. You know those scary breathing interruptions during sleep? The loud snoring, choking, and daytime fatigue?

Speaker 4 I knew I had to talk to my doctor. Don't sleep on the symptoms.

Speaker 9 Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.

Speaker 9 PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.

Speaker 9 PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
