Hey there! In a candid moment on her new podcast, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, Rachael Ray revealed that she's had a couple of rough falls recently, sparking concern from her loyal fans. If you're anything like me, hearing about one of our favorite chefs taking a tumble leaves you wondering how she’s doing and what it means for her busy lifestyle. Let’s dive into the details.
At 56, Rachael Ray isn’t just a culinary icon; she’s also a proud homemaker who loves diving into chores with the same enthusiasm she brings to cooking. During the launch of her podcast, she shared, “I really like what people consider physical work. I like making dinners, planning dinners, making lists. I’m always working with my brain every day, always writing something.” It’s clear that Rachael thrives on keeping active, whether it’s mentally or physically.
A Little Bump in the Road
Despite her love for physical tasks, Rachael admitted that she’s had to take a step back from some of her favorite chores due to a couple of recent falls. Speaking with guest Jenny Mollen, she confessed, “I’ve had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been doing that in a while.” While she didn’t elaborate much on the specifics, it’s evident that these incidents have impacted her usual routine.

For Rachael, carrying wood is more than just a chore—it’s a friendly competition with her husband, John Cusimano. She joked, “How many pieces of wood did John carry? Can I carry more?” Though John might not be aware of this ongoing rivalry, Rachael keeps score in her head, turning the task into a playful game.
Fans React to Earlier Concerns
These updates come after fans noticed something off in a video posted in September from her show Rachael Ray in Tuscany. In the clip, Rachael shared a heartfelt story about her late friend Tony Bennett while teaching viewers how to make ossobuco, one of his favorite dishes. Some viewers picked up on her pauses and slurred words, sparking worry about her well-being.
“I think it’s a mini stroke. Part of her mouth seems [to be] sinking. When was this???? I haven’t seen her this makes me so sad,” one commenter wrote. Another chimed in, “What the heck is wrong with her? Messy hair, slurring words….wow just wow …” While some fans expressed concern, others pointed out that Rachael looked different or appeared more “puffy” than usual.
Not everyone agreed with the criticism, though. Many fans defended Rachael, praising her compassion and authenticity. One commenter wrote, “I don’t hear any slurring but she has compassion in her telling of the story. She’s a good person and her vibes are good.” It’s clear that Rachael has a devoted fanbase who cares deeply about her health and happiness.

Looking Ahead
Although Rachael hasn’t addressed the speculation surrounding her health directly, her new podcast might offer more insights. Announced on October 15, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead promises to be an unfiltered look at life’s journeys. As she explained, “It’s unscripted, raw and real talk. Working fuels me, connecting with people fuels me, and this platform allows for connection and conversation on a more personal level, which really fuels me.”
This project marks a new chapter for Rachael following the conclusion of her talk show, Rachael Ray, after 17 seasons in the spring of 2023. It’s exciting to see her continuing to share her stories and connect with fans in meaningful ways.
