And he was like, ‘No!’”

Her co-host Tamra Judge then suggested securing the weight-loss drug through other means.

“I’m so sorry someone told you no,” Tamra, 58, said, “but I don’t know that I’d listen!”

“I mean, I know people where I could get it,” Teddi responded. “I have friends that do it.”

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

Teddi then recalled sharing her frustrations with her doctor.

“Let me live,” Teddi said. “You tell me to live my best life, but I don’t even get… Live your best life? Where are my GLP-1s?”

Tamra speculated that Teddi‘s doctor not allowing her to take a GLP-1 might mean that they expect her to have a full recovery.

“I think maybe someone’s lying,” the RHOC star said. “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!’”

During another recent podcast episode, Teddi revealed that she’s dating an older man.
