Rachael Ray recently shared an update regarding her health after a video surfaced online last month, sparking concern when it appeared she was slurring her words.
During the inaugural episode of her podcast, \u201cI\u2019ll Sleep When I\u2019m Dead,\u201d the well-known chef disclosed that she has been recovering from a few injuries she sustained while performing routine household tasks, tasks she described as being both cherished and physically engaging.\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a homemaker at heart. I relish chores. I find joy in the kitchen,\u201d Ray expressed candidly on the podcast.\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy mind is always active, always creating, whether I\u2019m writing or brainstorming, but I take equal pleasure in hands-on work.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Rachael Ray addresses health concerns after viral slurred speech video \u201cI genuinely enjoy what others might deem \u2018manual labor,\u2019\u201d she continued.
\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlanning meals, preparing them, compiling lists\u2014it\u2019s a rhythm I thrive in. And I love the physicality of it all, like helping to bring in the wood for the fire.\u201d\n\n\n\n

She humorously added that she often engages in silent competition with her husband, John.
\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018How many logs did John haul in? Can I carry more?\u2019 It\u2019s an unspoken challenge I have with myself,\u201d she admitted.\n\n\n\n

At 56, Ray explained that she had to momentarily step back from this beloved physical activity, revealing she had endured \u201ca couple of nasty tumbles\u201d in recent weeks.

However, she refrained from going into the specifics of these accidents or elaborating on the extent of her injuries.\n\n\n\n

Fans first voiced their concern over Ray\u2019s health earlier in September when an Instagram clip circulated, capturing a moment where her speech seemed impaired and one side of her face appeared to droop slightly.\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook at her mouth. Could she be recovering from a stroke?\u201d one concerned follower questioned.
\n\n\n\n

Another fan speculated, \u201cShe sounds like she\u2019s had a drink or two. And she looks a bit puffy. I hope she gets the care she needs\u2014nobody wants to see her succumb to addiction.\u201d\n\n\n\n

Despite the flood of comments reflecting both worry and support for the Food Network star, Ray remained silent until now.\n\n\n\n

Although her recent remarks don\u2019t provide a detailed explanation of the viral footage, she offers a plausible reason for her condition.\n\n\n\n

In the end, the hope remains that whatever health challenge Rachael Ray is facing, she finds herself on the path to recovery, with many expressing their well wishes for her continued wellness.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
