Fighting Demons: MMA & UFC Fighter Lyman Good's Journey to Mental Wellness

Consequence of Habit

For American mixed martial artist Lyman Good, the path to UFC fame was hardly paved with gold. Despite his challenging upbringing, marked by poverty and the absence of a father figure, martial arts became an extraordinary lifeline. Now, as the founder of Good Theory, he is a mental health advocate fighting for a new future.
Known as “American Cyborg,” Lyman opens up about the darkest chapter in his life, the profound struggles he faced after his father's passing, and the depths of depression that led him to contemplate suicide. But out of the darkness came a glimmer of hope. Resilience and redemption led to the creation of the "Good Theory" project, aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues.
Discover the profound importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and the power of surrounding oneself with positive influences on the road to mental wellness. This episode is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative potential of confronting one's demons to emerge stronger and more compassionate.
