    Brooks Nader is "still working on [her] self-confidence"

    The 28-year-old model has been open about her use of GLP-1 medications, which aid weight-loss, and Brooks admits that she's still on a "journey" with the drug and her health more generally.


    Asked if she's still using GLP-1 medications and if she'll ever get off them, Brooks told Us Weekly: "I mean, I think it's a learn as you go situation and trial and error.

    "I'm still working on my self-confidence and just my journey with that every day. It's different now."

    Brooks also confessed that she deals with the same struggles as "everyone else".

    The reality TV star explained: "I fluctuate like everyone else. So it just depends."

    Earlier this month, Brooks confessed that she's used weight-loss drugs as a "crutch".

    The model has been candid about her use of GLP-1, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity - but Brooks acknowledges that it's "not healthy" for her.

    Brooks - who stars in the reality TV show Love Thy Nader - told Bustle: "The thing that I was so shocked about with the show was that I had so many people reach out to me saying 'I'm also addicted to GLP-1. I'm ashamed to talk about it because there's such a stigma around it. It's a crutch for me'.

    "I'm still on it. It's a crutch for me, too. It's not healthy. I should get off it; I'll be honest about that."

    Despite this, Brooks has learned not to underestimate her will power, after going through a painful divorce.

    The model - who finalised her divorce from Billy Haire earlier this year - said: "Once I got to that other side, I realised, 'Wait, I got me. I can do anything I f****** put my mind to'.

    "I was with someone for 10 years, and I cut it off and came out better. I can push out a human; I can start a company; I can get over anybody. It's euphoric, that feeling."
