Rebirth from Brokenness - A Memoir of Mia Reyes 💪🧬\n\nMy name is Mia Reyes and this is the story of how I was transported from a hospital bed to a bioinformatics lab - and self-destruction to self-mastering. \n\nChapter 1: The Fall\nI was a burnt-out and hopeless biotech intern at the age of 22. I was fuelled entirely by energy drinks and angry self-loathing. My diet consisted of ramen I was stress-eating at 3 am while debugging dozens of lines of code. My workout consisted of carrying my own failures. And then eventually I collapsed - passed out on stage in front of my peers, and was diagnosed with severe adrenal fatigue, and was confronted with my doctor directly observing, “You are slowly killing yourself.” \n\nChapter 2: The Fight\nThe extent of my depression couldn't propel me any deeper - so as I said, I hit rock bottom, and it became a solid foundation. I traded in caffeine for chlorophyll, and all-nighters for early morning deadlifts and sunshine. I learned that bioinformatics is not just about cracking the code of DNA and genomes - it is really about rewriting the script of your own life. I spent months rendering muscle regeneration algorithms... while slowly learning to regenerate myself. \n\nChapter 3: The Fire\nAnd now I am bridging the gap between genomes and gym gains 🧬🔥. My lab coat tries to hide the stretch marks from rapid weight loss (and gain). My GitHub commits are as organized and disciplined as my meal prep. Because surviving isn't enough - thriving is the only real hack. \n\nThis isn't an inspiration piece. It’s a disclaimer: your body will submit an invoice for each all-nighter. But redemption? That is always in beta testing. 🔄💻 \n\nDrop a 🧬 if you’ve ever had to CTRL+ALT+DEL your life.
