Rachel Pham: The Scientist Who Lifts More Than Just Weights 💪🔬

They told me I couldn’t. They said a girl with a PhD in Advanced Materials Science had no business deadlifting twice her bodyweight or building a fitness empire from scratch. Guess what? I did both. 🚀

My story isn’t just about lab coats and lattices (though, honey, I live for crystallography). It’s about grit, gains, and grinding when the world said "sit down."

From Broken Beakers to Broken Limits

I started with $200, a leaky lab bench, and a dream. My first "startup"? Selling handcrafted protein bars to gym rats while debugging polymer composites at 3 AM. 💀

Failures? Oh, I’ve had plenty. Like the time I accidentally created a "superglue" so strong it fused my sneakers to the floor (RIP Nikes). Or when investors laughed at my pitch: "You’re a scientist, not a CEO."

Joke’s on them. Now, my patented nanofiber sports tech is in every elite athlete’s gear. And my abs? Featured in Science AND Men’s Health. Take that, stereotypes. 😏

Why Follow Me?

• I mix molecules and macros. Ever seen someone optimize a hydrogel while meal-prepping? Now you have.
• No toxic hustle. I’ll teach you how to outwork doubters without burning out. (Sleep is sacred. So is leg day.)
• Unfiltered AF. From grant rejections to gym fails—I keep it real. Even if it’s ugly. Especially then.

Join the Rebellion

This isn’t just fitness. It’s a revolt against "you can’t." Whether you’re a fellow lab geek or just want to lift heavy shit, let’s rewrite the rules—one rep, one breakthrough at a time.

P.S. Yes, that’s me in the XRD machine. No, I don’t recommend it. 😉
