Demi Schweers, Iris: Building a Wellness Brand Rooted in Community
“If you're already going through health issues and hormonal changes, I don't want you to have to, you know, dip into savings to do this for yourself. I really wanted it to be accessible”
What if your hardest battles became the blueprint for your greatest impact? For Demi Schweers, a former teacher turned Entreprenista, that’s exactly what happened. After being diagnosed with MS in 2020—followed by infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, and a PCOS diagnosis—Demi began sharing her story online simply to find support. What she built instead was a global community of women who saw themselves in her vulnerability.That community became the catalyst for Iris, a women’s wellness brand redefining what it means to hydrate with intention. Rooted in empathy, science, and lived experience, Iris was born from Demi’s late-night symptom flares, early-morning product testing, and a deep desire to make hormonal and gut health more accessible. Co-founded with another female founder, Iris is a testament to what can happen when storytelling, purpose, and community collide.
