Episode #301 Mariah Prussia, Winning Childhood Anxiety And Depression

Hello Health Heroes!

In this powerful Episode 301 of Tim James Upgraded, I sit down with a true modern-day warrior—on and off the mat—Mariah Prussia.

Mariah grew up on a farm, competed in three college sports, and earned her Exercise Science degree before spending years coaching and training others. Then at age 36, when most MMA fighters were thinking about retirement, she did the opposite—she stepped into the cage and became a mixed martial arts fighter. That mindset alone tells you what kind of human we’re dealing with.

But Mariah’s story doesn’t stop in the octagon. Today she’s come full circle—back on her own regenerative farm, rebuilding soil, growing real food, and living in alignment with nature. She’s also an adjunct professor, personal trainer, motivational speaker, and the founder of a non-profit that teaches kids how to grow food, forage, make their own tinctures, and become stewards of the land.

What blew me away is that she’s helping turn this hands-on, nature-based program into a national curriculum for 6th–8th graders—giving kids practical tools to lose weight, reduce anxiety and depression, and reconnect with real life instead of screens.

In this episode we dig into:

• How farm life and sports shaped her grit and resilience
• 
  
• Why she chose MMA at 36—and what it taught her about fear, discipline, and self-worth
• 
  
• How regenerative farming and real food can transform families and communities
• 
  
• Why getting kids outside, in the dirt, growing and making things, is one of the most powerful “mental health interventions” we have
• 
  

If you care about your health, your kids, or the future of real food in America, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to—and share.

Enjoy the show!

Love & Light,

Coach Tim
