Rachael Ray shared an update on her health after a video of her appearing to slur her words went viral last month.

In the debut episode of her podcast, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead,” the chef revealed she has been recovering from some injuries, which she attributed to household chores.

“I’m a homemaker. I love chores. I love being in the kitchen,” Ray said on the podcast episode. “I always work with my brain every day, I’m always writing something, but I really like chores.”

“I like what people consider physical work,” she continued. “I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists. I love physical labor, helping carry in the wood.”

She added that she often finds herself competing with her husband John. “‘How many pieces of wood did John carry? Can I carry more? I don’t say that to John. I just say it to myself,” she said.

The 56-year-old added she had to put the physical labor on hold because during the last several weeks she had suffered “a couple of bad falls.”

She did not go into detail how the falls happened or what kind of injuries she may have sustained.

Fans first became concerned for the TV personality’s health in early September after she shared a clip on Instagram that appeared to show a portion of her face drooping and her slurring her words.

“Look at her mouth. It looks like she may be recovering from a stroke,” a worried fan wrote.

“Sounds tipsy to me. And she looks bloated. I hope she gets the help she needs or she will be another person dead from the awful disease of addiction,” another wrote.

Despite numerous comments showing both their concern and support for the Food Network star, Ray never addressed her fans until now.

 

Although she didn’t provide an in-depth answer to the viral video, she offered a plausible explanation.

Whatever happened to Rachael Ray I do hope she’s okay. I would never wish anything bad upon her.
