Teddi Mellencamp requested GLP-1 weight loss medication while battling Stage 4 cancer, but was promptly denied by her doctors.
“I am a health and wellness coach who’s dying of cancer. And because I gained weight from the steroids, because I’m getting bigger from the steroids, I asked my doctor if I could please have GLP-1s,” Mellencamp, 44, told her guest podcast co-host Dolores Catania on Wednesday’s episode of her and Tamra Judge’s “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast.
“And he was like, ‘No!’” she added.
“I’m so sorry someone told you no,” Catania responding, before jokingly adding, “but I don’t know that I’d listen!”
Mellencamp teased that she knows “people where I could get it” since she has “friends that do it.”
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum went on to crack a joke about the contradicting messages she’s received from her doctors.
“So rude. Let me live,” she quipped. “You tell me to live my best life, Live your best life? But where are my GLP-1s?”
Mellencamp then told off the physician, calling him a “f–ker!”
The Bravolebrity revealed her cancer — which had also spread to her lungs — was gone last October. However, she previously explained that it will take some time before doctors declare that she’s officially in remission.
Now that she’s mostly out of the woods in terms of her physical health, Mellencamp told us in February that she’s been focused on recovering emotionally and mentally as well.
“I’ve been in therapy,” she shared. “I’ve been working really hard trying to figure out, find that peace, find that happiness, find that joy, find myself again.”
Things continue to be looking up for Mellencamp who, earlier this month, revealed she’s dating an older man amid her cancer battle.
Mellencamp praised her “pretty good” beau on an April episode of her “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, saying “He’s a relatively, like, positive and logical person in general.”
“The thing that I like the most about him is he makes me laugh,” she raved at the time.
Mellencamp announced her Stage 2 melanoma diagnosis in October 2022.
She underwent more than a dozen surgeries to address the disease — including an emergency procedure in 2025 to remove several tumors in her brain.
