Teddi Mellencamp Requested GLP-1s Amid Cancer Battle
Teddi Mellencamp is getting real about her health.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared that her doctor refused to prescribe her GLP-1s for weight loss amid her ongoing stage 4 cancer journey.
After her guest podcast cohost Dolores Catania shared that she’s “going full force” on the weight loss drugs on the April 23 episode of her Two T’s in a Pod podcast, Teddi shared that she asked her physician if she could start them herself.
“I want to let you know that I asked my cancer doctor,” the All In with Teddi founder said. “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.”
She added, “And he was like, ‘No!'”
Dolores lamented that Teddi was denied the medication.
“I’m so sorry someone told you no,” the Real Housewives of New Jersey star said, “but I don’t know that I’d listen!”
And Teddi, 44—who shares kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 11, and Dove, 6, with ex Edwin Arroyave—joked that she has other ways of procuring GLP-1s if she really wanted to take them.
