Joey revealed that during his high school years, he was diagnosed with Gilbert Syndrome. This condition affects the whites of his eyes, giving them a slightly yellowish appearance similar to jaundice. He mentioned the importance of staying hydrated to manage the symptoms. Joey noted that stress and lack of sleep, common occurrences on a TV show, can exacerbate the condition.

When Joey was in high school, he got sick for about a week and a half. His mom decided to take him to the doctor for a check-up. The bloodwork showed that his bilirubin count was high, indicating a possible issue with his liver. After a liver ultrasound and visits to other doctors, they diagnosed him with Gilbert Syndrome.

Joey wants to assure his fans that he is healthy. He mentioned that he will be more mindful of his health this year. Joey appreciates his fans' concern and thanked them for looking out for him. It was nice of Joey to address why the whites of his eyes sometimes appear yellow. It's important that someone like Joey, with a large platform, can raise awareness about health issues.

Hopefully, as Joey goes on his hometown dates, some of the stress he mentioned in his post will start to fade away. With only four women left - Kelsey Anderson, Daisy Kent, Rachel Nance, and Maria Georgas - out of the original 32, he is getting closer to choosing who he wants to propose to. Let's hope that among these women, Joey finds his true love and future wife, leading to a happy and fulfilling life together.

Don't forget to tune in to The Bachelor season 28, airing on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
