The Birth of Iliana Costa: When Science and Soul Coexist 🌌✨

I've always been told life is binary—ones and zeros, genes and proteins, logic and data. I believed them. Until that memorable evening the universe decided to speak back.

I was hunched over my computer debuging a genomic sequence at 3AM (because we all know that's when good bioinformaticians dwell - 🧬💻) when the wave of electric clarity hit me. My body, this magnificent machine, that I had honed like a soldier (hello, deadlifts and sunrise yoga 🏋️‍♀️🌅) was more than just a vessel. It was a bridge to the tangible things and the transcendent. Between Python scripts and purpose.

That was the moment I burned my previous life to the ground. 🔥

Gone was the girl who silenced her intuition in favor of p-values. A new woman had emerged? A Bioinformatics Analyst by day, Spiritual Alchemist (when and how she saw fit—yes, even the part with connecting the sacred algorithms of life). (Yes, also optimizing your macros in addition to your mindset. 💃).

Here was what I know now: Fitness is not just reps. It is reverence. Every drop of sweat is a prayer. Every meal is a ritual. (I dare you to chant over your kale smoothie- just once! 🥬🔮) And that " gut feeling" the Doctor ignores? That was your body's API sending a clear message for you to upgrade your interface.

Work with me to hack the most important system there is—human potential. We will analyze datasets and discover the data behind what's true. We will lift weights and lift limiting beliefs. And when we take the lab coat off? Oh, darling — we dance in the moonlight. 🌙⚡

• P.S. the universe slid into my DMs first. Now it's your turn.* 😉
