1248. Why Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Are Prioritizing Health After Cancer & Liver Scares + Wedding Updates & DWTS News!

Author: Heal Squad March 24, 2026 Duration: 1:04:01
Hey Heal Squad! We’ve got the cutest couples from Bachelor nation in the studio today… fan-favorites Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson. And yes, they’re planning their wedding (we got some little updates ), but this conversation goes way deeper than just love and wedding talk. Kelsey opens up about losing her mom to aggressive breast cancer, and how that completely changed the way she looks at her health (including ’s being proactive with genetic testing & lumpectomies). We also talk about early detection, health anxiety (which so many of us can relate to), and supporting others going through cancer.Then Joey gets real about his own health, including living with Gilbert syndrome, and how Kelsey’s journey has pushed him to take things more seriously too. Together, they’re really trying to be more intentional and build healthier habits as a couple.And don’t worry, we still get into all the fun stuff… what their relationship is really like off-camera, wedding planning updates, whether Kelsey would ever do Dancing with the Stars, and what they’re thinking for their first dance. Spoiler alert! It may include Joey’s former DWTS partner! Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Being healthy as a couple means holding each other accountable: Kelsey and Joey show that health isn’t just an individual journey,  it’s something you build together. It’s about creating a lifestyle where both partners feel supported, motivated, and responsible for their well-being. Early detection isn’t optional — it’s life-saving:Kelsey’s story is a powerful reminder that paying attention to your body matters. From finding lumps to undergoing preventative procedures and considering genetic testing, she emphasizes that you can’t ignore what your body is telling you, and taking action early can make all the difference. Real love is built in the quiet, everyday moments: While The Bachelor gave them a foundation, Kelsey and Joey make it clear that their relationship truly deepened off-camera and it’s all about  the simple things: being at home, watching a show, learning each other’s habits, and growing together in real life.
