Teddi Mellencamp Wants To Go On GLP-1s While She's 'Dying Of Cancer' - & BLASTS Her Doctor's Advice!

Teddi Mellencamp is ready to start feeling like herself again amid her cancer battle, and she thinks she should begin with going on a GLP-1.

As you know, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum was diagnosed with stage two melanoma in 2022, which sadly progressed to stage four last year after it metastasized to her brain and lungs. And while doctors found “no detectable cancer” by October, she is not in remission yet. Teddi previously told fans that the medications and immunotherapy have taken a toll on her body and mind. She has since started therapy to help process her cancer journey. Now, she wants to tackle the physical part — specifically when it comes to her appearance.

During a new episode of her Two Ts in a Pod podcast on Wednesday, the reality star told her guest co-host, Dolores Catania, that she asked her doctor to go on a GLP-1 after gaining weight from her treatment:

“I am a health and wellness coach who’s dying of cancer. And because I gained weight from the steroids [from my treatment], because I’m getting bigger from the steroids, I asked my doctor if I could please have GLP-1s.”

However, her doctor flat-out told her “no,” leaving Teddi so frustrated. As she said on the podcast:

“Let me live!”

Teddi recalled that her doctor told her to “live my best life,” but all she wanted was the medication she asked for:

“Live your best life? Where are my GLP-1s?”

Dolores, for her part, is fully on Teddi’s side! She even suggested getting the weight loss drug from a different source instead:

“I’m so sorry someone told you no. But I don’t know that I’d listen!”

But Teddi is not too worried about getting the medication elsewhere, noting that she knows people and has “friends that do it.” Dolores then offered to support the television personality on her weight loss journey:

“Well, I’m taking it tomorrow if you wanna start with me.”

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to prioritize your health and fitness. But perhaps Teddi should listen to her doctor while she’s going through cancer! Just saying!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star then offered up another theory as to why Teddi’s doctor denied her the medication! She thinks the podcast host actually has a better chance at survival than expected:

“I think maybe someone’s lying. I don’t think you’re dying. Because [if you were dying,] he would’ve said, ‘Oh, if that’s what you want, sure! Take that, go do some coke, go snort whatever you want!’”

Well, we hope Teddi isn’t dying anytime soon! Oof!
