She's also the co-host of the podcast "Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, & Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck."

Through our conversation, we explore how adopting a mindset focused on individual growth can be a game-changer, even amidst the chaotic teenage years. Iris highlights the importance of "peaceful striving"—pursuing personal goals without succumbing to constant anxiety or pressure.

    Breaking away from restrictive diets, Iris embraced a balanced and enjoyable approach to food and fitness, fueled by influential figures in the industry. Participating in challenges helped her break the binge-restrict cycle, while strength training replaced extreme workouts with empowering muscle gain.
