<p>In this episode, I sit down with Kerry native Micheál Costello for a powerful and honest conversation.</p><br><p>What began as a search for control through exercise slowly spiralled into anorexia and depression. Diagnosed in October 2020, Micheál’s illness carried deep family history, with his aunt having died from anorexia years earlier.</p><br><p>We talk about stigma, especially for men, the danger of waiting lists, and the silence that surrounds eating disorders.</p><p>From the depths of illness to qualifying for the Irish triathlon team and competing in several Ironmans, Micheál’s journey is a remarkable comeback and a reminder that recovery is possible.</p><br><p>🎟️ The Comeback Live comes to the Cork Podcast Festival on March 21st at St Luke’s.
