\"So we went and I got a liver ultrasound, I went to the doctors, they found out there was nothing that was necessarily wrong like hepatitis, but they diagnosed me with something called Gilbert syndrome,\" Graziadei said.

According to the National Institutes of Health, Gilbert syndrome is an \"autosomal recessive disorder of bilirubin metabolism within the liver.\" This means that the liver does not process bilirubin properly, and this can cause your skin to turn yellow.

It's a condition that can be discovered by accident, for instance when one gets a blood test done. Those who have Gilbert syndrome do not require specific treatment, according to NIH.

Graziadei said that at the end of the day, he's healthy, but the condition does affect the whites in his eyes.

\"It makes it have those jaundice levels, which is why they look a little bit more yellow,\" he said.

He ended the video by saying that he wants to keep an eye on his health this year.

\"It's something I want to pay attention to more,\" Graziadei said. \"I want to get my health right and make sure that I'm all good. But I at least wanted to give some background that you know that to my knowledge, I am healthy.\"

\"It's just something that I have to pay attention to drinking more fluids. It is worse when I have stress or lack of sleep, which happens on a TV show,\" he continued. \"And I do appreciate everyone looking out for me and wondering if I'm okay, but to my knowledge, I'm as okay as that can be and I will continue to look at it.\"
