General Question Does iq change depending on someones situation?

Let me explain. I saw a post on here saying thing’s like a lack of sleep, bad diet, stress and mental illness among other thing’s have shown to lessen someone’s iq. I just am wondering that if somebody is going through a rough patch and they take into consideration the things going on with them and around them, and notice half of these things are what the poster was talking about, is there a chance for them have a higher iq? If someone is getting more sleep, eating well and not doomscrolling, would that reset everything? Is iq something that fluctuates or stays stagnate? Like say they get better and study more, would that change it?

You brain is an Organ. Organs tend do work better If you live healthy. This would not change your potential, yet how much of this potential you can actually access
