The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed that her doctor refused to prescribe GLP-1s for weight loss despite her ongoing stage 4 cancer treatment.
Following her guest podcast cohost Dolores Catania's announcement on the April 23 episode of her Two T's in a Pod podcast that she is "going full force" on the weight loss drugs, Teddi asked her doctor if she could start them herself.
"I wanted to let you know that I asked my cancer doctor," the All In with Teddi founder stated. "I am a health and wellness coach who is dying from cancer. And because I gained weight and am getting bigger as a result of the steroids, I asked my doctor for GLP-1s."
She continued, "And he was like, 'No!'"
Dolores expressed disappointment that Teddi was denied the medication.
"I'm 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 has three children with ex Edwin Arroyave: Slate, 12; Cruz, 11; and Dove, 6, joked that she has other options for getting GLP-1s if she really wanted to.
"I mean, I know people where I could get it," she explained. "I have friends that do it."
After Dolores jokingly advised her to "tell your doctor to shut up," Teddi lamented the conflicting messages she'd received from her medical team.
"How rude. "Let me live!" she exclaimed. "You tell me to live my best life, but I don't get... Live your best life?" "Where's my GLP-1s?"
The podcast host exclaimed, "F--ker!"
Teddi's candid admission comes after she recently revealed another detail about her personal life: she's begun dating an older man.
They have also not discussed how they will handle the more intimate aspects of their relationship while Teddi is undergoing cancer treatment.
"These are the things that I haven't brought up on these dates," she said. "I'm taking things slow with him. Normally, that hasn't been my experience."
