This book is extremely dense and I'm reading it on the metro or during study breaks. However, the more I read, the more I'm alarmed, and I consider myself someone who has been relatively immersed in these issues, since the late 00s.

La théorie du manque de sérotonine est en train d’être complexifiée (voir… debunked)
Surprisingly, it’s likely inflammation. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard of inflammation. It’s what protects the body from infection. Immune cells called cytokines detect an injury or infection and sound an alarm. The alarm summons other immune cells to the site, and their influx cases the inflammation that we recognize as redness and swelling of superficial wounds. However, all parts of the body can inflame, even the brain. And when the brain inflames, it causes sickness behavior that makes us feel exhausted, antisocial and depressed. Sick at home. Alone in bed. Binge-watching Netflix. Sound familiar? Although no one likes being sick, these behaviors are quite prosocial because they isolate us from others and prevent the spread of infection. It’s the brain’s version of social distancing and a small price to pay for protecting others.
Je n'avais jamais vu le lien entre l'inflammation chronique et la fatigue/anxiété générale/dépression et honnêtement ça m'inquiète. À ajouter à la liste sans fin de trucs à vérifier/chercher.
No red flags so far, and I like the practical approach the author proposes, a kind of "let's get moving together" approach while also talking about the theories behind everything. While maybe a little less theoretical than I was hoping for, I like the clear language.
Too anxious to not be reading something, too anxious to read something not at least somewhat related to kinésiologie. Found this in the library. Will either hate it or love it, stay tuned!
I really liked the beginning, but I'm having trouble continuing. Will probably start it again next summer or whenever is the next time I have mental space for a nervewracking read.
