Teddi Mellencamp was battling stage 4 cancer when he asked to be given a GLP-1 weight loss drug, but doctors immediately refused.
“I’m a health and wellness coach who was dying of cancer, and I asked my doctor if I could put me on GLP-1 because I was gaining weight because of the steroids and I was getting bigger because of the steroids,” Mellencamp, 44, told guest podcast co-host Dolores Catania on Wednesday’s episode of her and Tamra Judge’s podcast, “Two Ts in a Pod.”
“And he said, ‘No!'” she added.
“It’s really unfortunate that someone said no,” Catania replied, adding jokingly, “I don’t know if they’ll listen though!”
Mellencamp teased that she knows “people who can get it” because she has “friends who do it.”
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum continued to joke about the conflicting messages she received from her doctors.
“Very rude. Please let me live,” she quipped. “You tell me to live my best life, live my best life? But where is my GLP-1?”
Mellencamp then berated the doctor, calling him a “shithole!”
Bravolebrity revealed in October last year that her cancer, which had spread to her lungs, was gone. However, she previously explained that it would take time for doctors to officially declare her in remission.
Now that her physical health is mostly back to normal, Mellencamp said in February that she is focused on recovering emotionally and mentally as well.
“I’ve been in therapy,” she said. “I’ve been working hard to find peace, to find happiness, to find joy, to find myself again.”
Things continue to go well for Mellencamp, who revealed earlier this month that she was dating an older man during her battle with cancer.
Mellencamp praised his wife for being “pretty good” on an April episode of his podcast Two Ts in a Pod, saying, “He’s relatively a rather positive, logical person.”
“The thing I love most about him is that he makes me laugh,” she raved at the time.
Mellencamp announced her diagnosis of stage 2 melanoma in October 2022.
She underwent more than a dozen surgeries to deal with the disease, including an emergency operation in 2025 to remove several tumors in her brain.
