This episode of Chewing the Crust is a raw and powerful conversation with Micheál Costello – an Irish Ironman triathlete with a journey that goes far beyond finish lines.

We talk honestly about:

• His battle with disordered eating and body image

• Growing up gay in rural Ireland

• The pressures of masculinity in sport and society

• Finding hope, help, and purpose

• Raising thousands for eating disorder charities: Bodywhys (Ireland) and Beat (UK)

Micheál opens up about mental health, identity, recovery and the drive that led him from dark days to endurance events – and why the fight is far from over.
