...spoke to Loiseau the day before he killed himself, says his friend had been deeply affected by the rankings demotion and by newspaper articles speculating that he might lose one of his three Michelin stars, which turned out to be untrue.

I am a clinical psychologist who had practiced for 29 years before I ever encountered breath work.
