The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, hey, good. How you guys doing? Good. Good. Hey, uh, peer-to-peer players outstanding that. Outstanding that is outstanding. And so is the primal edge. I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I mean, I've been on it now for three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. Primal edge is, uh, you know, people are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now, your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan. And welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle where we explore a return to a more balanced than natural wild world. To recover our natural health and regain our rights and our freedoms. Good morning. I'm Paige Clark. That's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg. Clear skies and 78 degrees. I like the little touch of fall. A little fall is in the air. That's for sure. Make sure to subscribe to our Health Signals newsletter. This is news you can use in your inbox. It kind of follows our show and keeps you up to date on the latest stuff. Yeah, in fact, we have issue 19 coming out today. So we're looking for that. And of course, this follows our show.

So it's easy to take and it keeps the good stuff in. And the best step out with Nature's Miracle Molecule Fulvic and Humic Acid. That's right. So, Niko. Yes. You know, last show we were talking a lot about how there seems to be such a push to move us towards plant-based diet. Yeah, that's the agenda, seems like. And you know, whether or not that's for our better health or for the environment, there's people on both sides of the fence. So let's dig into this article. I think this is really significant because it was in the New York Times. It's a recently released study that reveals scientists have said eating less red meat may be bad advice. And the evidence is too weak to justify telling individuals to eat less beef and pork according to new research. The findings, a road public trust. And for years, public officials have been urging Americans to limit consumption of red meat and processed meats. Notice they put those two together. Yeah, and that's a very interesting part of it because they always put the red meat and the processed meats, which is not the same. And all processed meat is not the same either. I mean, you can take a nice chunk of beef and make some hamburger out of it. That's a process. Right. Or even sausage as people in your part of the world where you came from. Definitely. What they do. This is not necessarily the same thing as these. What we're talking about when we say processed meat, I think this is what they mean. This is what I would mean is that you're filling it with a bunch of fillers. Which might be grain-based. Right. You're using really low-grade meats, the throwaway kind of stuff. So this is the way you get rid of it and you subsidize it. That's the kind of meat we're talking about. Typically we think about hot dogs and things like that. But we don't necessarily think about the nice sausages that come from Poland or come from Holland, Germany, or Italy. From grass-fed animals. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, there's a distinction and they always lump those two together because that's the... And that confuses people. Yeah, and that's the red button kind of. But on Monday this week, right hot off the press in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers produced a series of analyses that concluded that the advice, which was a bedrock of all this new dietary advice, is not backed by good science. It's fouled science. And it kind of makes sense, folks, when you think about it. A primal man was not able to toss up an Asian salad. I mean, it just doesn't really make a lot of sense. That's for sure. Well, the certainty of evidence about these reduced reductions are very low. Or low to very low, they say. The studies are among the largest nutrition evaluations ever attempted and may influence future dietary recommendations. I doubt that because the agenda really is pushing the other way. Well, and let's take a look at it. When there are people away from animal-based proteins as foods, then they're going to go down the freezer aisle. And there's going to be little packs of linguine with Alfredo's sauce and maybe with some happy couple little sprigs of broccoli. It's a lot easier to fix. You just put it in a pan and it's done in a few minutes. Already there have been fierce criticism by public health researchers. And who would they be? Yeah, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, Harvard, the Chan School of Public Health and other groups have savagely savaged the findings and the journals that publish it. They always go after the messenger instead of digging into the science of the thing. I think that's really great. Harvard actually warned the conclusions, harmed the credibility of nutrition science and wrote public trust and scientific research. Well, as we've already stated on the show, the chief editor of the New England Journal of Medicine said that research, medical research, can no longer be studied because there's entrusted because of the lobbyists and so forth, paid for research. Right. Remember that? Yeah. Right. These used to be a symbol of high social class, but that's changing. Dr. Frank Hu is the chairman of the nutrition department at Harvard Chan School of Public Health. Today, the more highly educated Americans are eating less meat than they usually eat, they're saying. And this is because of the propaganda, I believe. And this is about, like you said, trying to make it cool to not be a meat eater when, in fact, if you go back and you watch old movies that were set in medieval times, the king is eating the deer and the peasants are eating a little porridge, right? From the rice or the milk? Right. Yeah, just little scraps and scraps of bread. Well, they're farmers. Yeah, they're not hunters. They can't. I can't. Remember that hunting was... That was that divide. Yeah, but the hunting was the aristocracy. Correct.  Otherwise, you were the outlaw. So the only thing you could do was farm. And farming, of course, was important too because during hard times, the king also needed that. And as they went on, the king was also making bread and cake because they were gluttonous. And becoming gluttonous. Yeah, exactly. And they were doing both. Right. But I guarantee it wasn't the great meat he was eating. It was probably all the other things that he was eating too and not having any exercise there, playing games and doing all kinds of things in the castle. So here goes the propaganda, folks. The prospect of a renewed appetite for red meat also runs counter to two other important trends. One is growing awareness of the environmental degradation caused by livestock production, livestock production as we do it. Not the way we should be doing it, right? Because there's plenty of it. We talked about this on our last show. There's plenty of people who have the idea of simulating what our ancestors did in the wild. So we no longer have the wild, but there are ways of doing it. And of course, we have people here in this country doing that too. And number two, the longstanding concern about the welfare of animals employed in industrial farming and no one can agree that treating animals the way they are is a sound practice. Yeah. If you want a real education, you visit sites that have these little farms like the White Orchard, which is up in Georgia. White pastures. White pastures. That's one good slip of the tongue there. But these are great people and they send me newsletters all the time inviting me up to see their place because they're open to the public. You can take a tour. You can watch the slaughtering. You can stay in one of their beds and breakfast. And they have lunch and dinner. And I think breakfast is just about every single day. So that's the type of experience you want to experience because that'll teach you. A reminder of where our food comes from. We connected. John, thank you. Says Paige and Nico, thank you so much for speaking. Some truth of our food supply. Good to keep some of us grounded. It's so true. And if you stop and think about it, many of our kids today don't even really know where it comes from. I think it's so important with my grandkids and stuff. I really want them to have like farm strips. I want them to understand the way, you know, not the farm. I want them to learn about hunting. I have my nephew that hunts his family's food. I'm really proud of it. That's for sure. Stick around, folks. We'll be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you. Something specifically formulated to help with weight loss, better sleep, stress reduction, and the need to detox. Nico, our hunter and gatherer ancestors found all their nutritional requirements for health in their wild environment.

We're having some great comments in the chat room and, you know, John said, guiding us humans like a herd of sheep is quite easy. Just make the desired behavior fashionable. And that's the bingo. That's what Nico and I are trying to suggest. Much of what we're reading is to guide us and make us, I mean, the media, there's so much fake news and molding of what our thoughts are. He brings up the great movie, Soil and Green, which in 1973 kind of blew my mind at the end there when Charlton Hessens realized that the retirement plan was the food. They were going to be the food. Yeah, that's pretty... I just got goosebumps over that. Soil and Green is a must-see movie. It was made in 1973, but, you know, future proves past. It's a great movie. I haven't seen it on both the end for you, but pretty much it's... Yeah, we live in an upside-down world. As he says, fact is fiction and fiction is fact. That is so true. So let's go to this next article. The way that speaks to your genes, have you ever wondered what we eat and how it affects our genes? Well, we're going to talk a little bit about this, and a registered dietitian, Amanda Archibald, has a new book, The Genomic Kitchen, Your Guide to Understanding and Using the Food, Gene Connections for a Lifetime of Health. And our diets are crucial for our health and for our DNA. Remember, our DNA is the blueprint. It's the plan. But what we do is the epigenetics are above the genes, and how that blueprint is employed determines on what we drink, eat, sleep, move, think. Yeah. Genomic medicine offers a new approach to personalizing healthcare. It uses unique gene blueprint as a powerful insight to see how your genes respond to nutrients as well as exercise and life stressors and, of course, environmental pollutions and, of course, the medications and things like that. I think one of the ways you could look at it is you just take a sample of the bugs in your intestines and in your stomach. I think that's going to be a huge area. You know what we're talking about? Maybe a sick person getting an inoculation of someone else's flora via a stool sample. I think, as we know, the bacteria are 10 times more prolific in our body than our own cells. We're more bacteria than we are us. That's what makes the presentation. The whole process is really neat. This culinary genomics is a term I devised. The author says to describe the union of genetic science, nutrition science and food science. How food responds to growing, storing and cooking techniques. This is really important because this is what our ancestors found out when times got tough. Somehow they figured out that fermenting foods, cooking them for a long time... Moving towards agriculture because the meat was the king's meat. Not only that, but just think in primitive times there's a big storm now. Hunting is gone because the animals have left. So now you've got to go after the animals, but they're gone a long time. So now you're without food for days and days. What do you do? You start looking for other things. It's kind of like the deer. The deer don't want to eat the bark off the tree. But they will when hard times come. Exactly. The resourcefulness that really has enabled some of the foods that have helped us survive and been good to our genomic continuation. That's right. Fermented foods are a foundational component of culinary genomics since the gut and its microbiome is the gateway to health. So a finely tuned gut allows us to absorb the nutrients that serve as information to the body and its complex biological processes. There's also things that happen when we just chop things up. There's a compound Sulforaphane. Which is actually the really powerful compound in cruciferous vegetables. That's right. And when you chop cabbage or bite into Brussels sprouts, you activate this infanential gene that has a real dynamic effect on your health. This is the same compound that can be produced by the beneficial bacteria. So this works in unison. This is why cabbage, make it sour and things like that are really good for your gut. They feel good. The study of genomics can help uncover why some people struggle more with their weight than others and why some people maybe like to suffer from anxiety or other mood disorders including blood sugar but as we start to understand the nature of food and the environment through using what we now know some of the science of genomics and applying some common sense can help people eat the foods that really help them to thrive in their particular situations. It's kind of a new era in food and in medicine. And in health. The author says here we are at the dawn of a new era in food and also a new era in medicine never before has the kitchen played a more pivotal role in health. I think probably never before again I think it was to our ancestors the food was everything. In the environment and the medicine man was right there. So we have finally reached a moment where we can empirically trace the evidence and trace the connections between the food and how you choose to prepare it and how that affects your personal biochemistry and they're now walking hand in hand medicine and culinary arts, food as medicine which is what we've been talking about and lifestyle as medicine. But I think it's always interesting to look at the samurai story that you told years ago where the samurai had his meat wrapped into the rice and he kept it in his bag and he was fighting for so long the stuff started turning rancid and this is it was actually the soybeans, wasn't it? The soybeans were wrapped. They made the natto which we now know is the world's most popular form of a vegetable or a bean instead of from the animal. So the process made the K2 for us essential because without the K2 you die. Yeah, exactly. And it really is only found in meat except when you ferment things. Isn't that so cool? So you know she goes on but let's talk let's give you an example of how say a root vegetable which root vegetables are coming in. We're into the fall but a root vegetable how does this help your body activate its personal blueprint? For example apples contain quercetin which is a bioactive that can activate or turn on the fire hose pathway we call NRF2. Quercetin can also block activation of pro-inflammatory genes which are the TNF alpha and the NFKB pathway. Long story short these are inflammation pathways and we know that quercetin which is found in things like onions and garlics and apples I call it white stuff. See, quercetin is usually found in white stuff the white part of an apple you know the onions and so forth. For example the addition of arugula watercress or baby kale or bok choy leaves just prior to serving this vegetable slaw that we're making provides sulfuricane which we just talked about another bioactive which activates the inflammation savior hose. Citrus is another nutrient rich in the gradient that provides the core nutrients to support highly influential biochemical pathways these pathways link with each kind of like teeth on gears you know when you roll your bike and the gears connect close everything together they close everything together helps to produce the neurotransmitters and the guts that tell the body hey do this and do that dopamine things like that so a lot of recent research has demonstrated that the citrus peel I've shared this with you all we often use it as zest in recipes as a source of three bioactive compounds that are capable of blocking an enzyme is integral to the formation of the amyloid plaque associated with Alzheimer's we'll continue talking about food as medicine when we get back I'd like to tell

this adage fact is fiction and fiction is fact he says he has his winter beef supply coming from his local rancher Steve Steve's name is Stanley I've been putting on weight nicely saw him in the pasture three weeks ago that's the way to do it folks get involved with your food and support your local farmers and your local ranchers that are growing healthy food and healthy beef now I want to kind of switch over because I'm going to put all this stuff in the newsletter we're going to finish up about some of the things food is medicine this is my new passion well the pasture today is really being compromised by the devices that we're constantly looking at in fact I you know a lot of times do we ever sit around and do nothing anymore I mean you're always compelled you know you're sitting there you're just enjoying yourself whatever you're doing and you're not really reading or anything you're just kind of chilling out but no you go right back to that because you might be missing something you're missing nothing this compulsion is really really dangerous in terms of culture posture because I struggle with myself too everyone does today it seems like everybody does no matter how straight you sit up you know a lot of all this I like to say that I think much of our health bills originate between the top of the head and the clavicle or the cervical spine and when you can get that right and get the neck posture and the shoulders back you breathe better it's really unbelievable you look at traditional people and the way they walk carrying water or baskets on their head while they're carrying a baby it's amazing I'm thinking that reading a book is not natural because it really crinks you so we're made to be the watcher the seer of things looking out on the horizon watching in a distance and close we're not going to change that so let's talk about our posture and you know what is good posture and how to get good posture what is bad posture that can lead to all kinds of issues down the road resulting in de-gradiation of the spine which can make us vulnerable to potential injuries issues with our joint our balance mobility plus our neck shoulders and our back most of us suffer from poor posture simply because it's a bad habit and that's what I've learned recently that many of us just compensate and start doing something and it continues but the great news is you can improve your posture fairly easily simply sit up with your back straight pull your shoulders back and relax them down your chest should feel open and wide your feet should be flat on the floor take a few slow and deep breaths sit that way for at least 30 seconds and then check every so often to make sure you maintain that posture and not allow your shoulders to hunch back or back down it's important when I instruct my students to exercise it's always in front of a mirror so you can see the posture because your exercise is only good if the posture is correct in that particular exercise each exercise has their own kind of posture most of them are related to just good posture but some of them are a little bit different I think that we can use our tech tools to help us it's one of the things that you can do is pick a distinctive ringer and when that ringer settles some alarms that remind you to do a posture check and to take a few deep breaths and that's what's working for me because then it becomes like a habit or something that you expect and we really truly can adapt new habits and make big changes I've been working with chiropractic with physical therapy after my accident I want to make sure that after my broken ankle in three spots basically I disconnected my foot my leg in the ski accident that I don't incur other injuries up upstream that I don't get out of balance knees or hips and all of this goes back up to the neck and shoulder and the head so I'm kind of trying to realign myself top down and down up and I remember my parents sit up straight this stuff never seems to work what my wife does when she walks past me she just rubs her back a little bit to sit up straight and that's kind of a nice touch there's no saying hey you're doing it wrong well, I think that like you say many of us have adapted this and I think the technology today is designed, I mentioned this about even our studio we're looking down, I like to look at eye level raising I try to stand at my desk at work and get things at eye level so I think there's some exercises that you are going to share yeah, let me bring them up and these are 12 exercises on health.com oops, that's not the line sometimes you hit the wrong line yeah, it's on healthline.com we talk about it actually you look younger and you truly are younger when you have good posture you're doing great things for your longevity the ability to breathe and have everything else in alignment is super so it can help you develop strength flexibility and balance your body notice these are along the line of yoga disciplines so yoga invented probably five maybe longer years ago in the Indian culture how many years ago? at least 5,000 years yeah, the resting posture strengthens and lengthens your spine the resting posture is what we're seeing there great way to start your day great way we often call this child's pose too just kind of very surrender state of stretching but allowing yourself to just breathe next one is called a forward fold and this one this actually stretches all the leg muscles your hamstrings your butt muscles you're contracting your stomach which is really important so these are very very important types of exercises this is the cat cow this is just put your muscles downward and then upward you're contracting and then extending from the abdominal muscles and then they have the standing cat which is very similar on your standing posture you kind of roll more the upper thoracic area correct so we would encourage you guys especially those of you that are doing trading watching TFNN.com and you're sitting at the desk take a few moments pull up some stretching exercises and then pull up your posture all during the day what do you think about as a trainer what do you think about some of those devices people are wearing they put on I call it like a reverse bra I think they have this on here have you used one yourself I've had one on it feels very strange in the beginning because it really pulls you tight but there are some other methods here is the high plank really important that's kind of a push up starting position and just keep contracting your abdominal muscles even a low plank if you can't do a high plank to start start out with a low plank another one here down facing dog a little bit more extreme this is very very important it's important yoga stuff that's for sure pigeon pose really does the hip flexors and the psoas muscles and you'll be amazed at the emotional release that you can get with pigeon pose notice that front leg is crossed that's the real difficult part this is the spinal rotation where this arm will come around maybe it shows on here pause it's not really playing can you press the arrow there maybe doesn't seem to be working but anyways got squeezes squeezing your butt you can have somebody else do that that's fun isometric rows so this is where you're going up like this and down like this and that's a great posture check when you're rowing your arms up like this you stand against a wall and you put your arms up you can row them along the wall and really feel a correction so when I come back we have some more difficult ones that may be a little bit hard for you to see you know what's cool taking something that's good for you I think specifically formulated to help with weight loss better sleep

Well we're going to be finding out because here's a nice little graphic of somebody that's not familiar with a whole bunch of things but this guy is too and he's standing up straight, so it's a possibility to get it in check I think. And a lot of it comes back to reinforcing the core if you have a strong core you're able to hold your posture this way. Well here's the tool, the tool, the pore posture around the shoulder slouching head tilted forward knees bent belly, good posture straight line from your ear to your shoulder to your hip and balance an upright posture. Correct.  And again, that's where we're really fighting, but our bodies do adapt, but they can also adapt back to a healthier posture. That's the good news. That's right. Show that picture of forward head posture. This is what we're seeing an epidemic of. And I want to make a comment about forward head posture is that many times it is an attempt to breathe. Many people are doing that because the eyes, look at his eyes, okay? A good posture, but as we rotate and we hump like this, this is because many times people have poor airway. And this is, you know, opening the airway and because you are going to keep your eyes even with the horizon. So then what happens is the net cervical spine becomes compressed and the body is compensating by going forward. So we, you know, we're always just trying to survive. That's it. But let's not survive in a healthier way. That was a great little video. So the first exercise is called the reverse plank, which is much harder to do. It feels weird in the beginning. If you have a little joint problems with your wrists and things like that, it's not too pleasant in the beginning, but your body does adapt. So it's a, it's an important exercise. I think people should do this. Next one is arch up. This one, I don't have a video of it, but to say simple, whoops. You kind of balance on your core and you arch your feet and your arms up. Yeah. So you're actually balancing on your stomach. And you're, you're raising your feet and this is not what you're doing. The next one is the plank while you're looking forward. Roll through. Here you come. There it is. The plank. And this is the modified one that you were talking about earlier. Right. And I think that's crucial. Little successes. You know, maybe you can only do it for 10 seconds, but the next day you'll be able to do it for 15 and build up. Maybe you'll build up to the point where you're listening to a whole song. And here's the posture belt you were talking about. Yeah. I've never tried one, but I was thinking about getting one. I never did make a decision, but I do think if you really, especially if you have a lot of desk time and you tend to slouch, this might be something that would help you remind, would help remind you to make that check. And of course it's the muscles that really control how you sit. So this idea that our abs always should be contracted. We are lazy people. We've gotten used to not engaging our core. So this is a way to help them. And here's the one that I was mentioning right before we did this, the wall angles. Wall angels.   And this will give you good indication of how rounded your back really is because at first you're not really touching the things you're supposed to be touching. If it's hard to keep your arms on the wall, then you know you've got to be doing this a little bit more. This is a real important exercise. This is a text neck, they call it. Get rid of the knots. Can you play that one? See if you can hit that one. Get rid of the knots. This one, it may or may not show it, but this is a, it looks like it's going to be something long. Let's see. These guys, I've watched them before. Okay. He's showing the, yeah, he's showing the wall angels there, pretend you're doing snow angels, but you're keeping the small of the back is core tight. Starting your day with this while you're brewing your coffee is a great way to kind of get going. And the exercise number seven for text neck, I think is, I'm not exactly sure which one because my picture is not showing up, but this exercise helps prevent bad posture. It's easy to do several times during the day. You simply stop looking down at your phone. I mean, instead of, hold your phone up when you're texting to people. Yeah. See, this is a good picture. Yeah. You know, instead of scrub, you know, look at, this really demonstrates the contortion that we're doing and we don't even realize we're doing it when we're holding these phones. And we're doing it all the time while we're walking, while we're walking to baby, walking with your dog. You guys, you're texting. Get rid of this stuff. A lot of people are going into restaurants now, don't take their phone. There's a lot of schools. Have you seen these little bags that they have in certain schools where the kid comes into school and has this bag, has a zip thing, and has a lock on it? And this thing stays locked until the kid leaves school and it's kind of like an R-E-F-D tag and you boop, you can use it again and they can't use the phone at all in school. I don't know. I personally don't think schools should have Wi-Fi. No, and I think probably if you're going to a movie theater, things like this, we take our phones everywhere. It's time to leave them alone. We don't need them. I mean, back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, we all had phones. We all didn't have a long line with us carrying a phone or walkie-talkie. We have to disconnect to reconnect. Yeah, we should do this. We really do, guys. The thing I was thinking about with posture is get into some routines of doing a yoga class on a regular basis, doing some type of stretching classes. Get into a martial arts, do some boxing, do some stepping. Any type of exercise on a regular basis with some other people can really help you get not only social, but correct these postures that we have. Use it or lose it. If we don't move and get the flexibility and do these stretches, then we're not going to have that mobility. And I think that's one of the most painful things to see as people get older, is to see them in pain and not able to do these things, whereas perhaps keeping active and flexible could be one of the best things you do for your posture and your overall health. So we have two different types of exercises that we're going to put in the next newsletter. One is a fairly easy starting point. These ones are a little bit more difficult. I think all of them can be attained in a few months of practice, no doubt about it. Very important. And there's another thing that we normally can do to help change our posture and that's walking, our natural ability. And that's actually really an interesting article that you put in here, are humans actually designed to walk and not run? Let's think about that. I can take some personal experience with this. Since my injury, this past winter, snow skiing, and disconnecting my foot from my leg, I have not yet run. Okay? I mean, it's been six months, I'm walking, you would not really even notice that anything has happened. And I can do a quick little jog, but I haven't gone running. And I actually thought, well, maybe that's not necessary. And then here's this article. Maybe it's not necessary that I have to run fast again. I mean, I certainly would like to be able to, you know. Well, certainly we use running to escape predators and probably to chase down things. I think running is very important. Now remember, it was maybe a couple of years ago, we talked about that in the 1700s, our walking changed. We normally would land mid-foot. And because now we're in cities and we start putting more protection, and this is about the time in the 16, 1700s, when people started using more protection, they started using a harder sole on the bottom, which the shape of their foot. Before it was always kind of a loose moccasin shoe. Like a moccasin shoe. Yeah. So now it started being a hard thing that enveloped the shoe. And that's when the high heels came along.  But what happened was now we're in a city and we're protected, and no longer are we very, very conscious of our surroundings. We're safe. And now we heel strike, where before we didn't. And that's how it changed. Isn't it funny how these little things change the way we are? We'll be right back. Yeah, we'll be right back after this break. I'm certain you are, or strive to be, one of the best of the best at everything you do in life. It's the most common trait that we tigers and tigers share.

Tune in to TFNN's Tiger TV on your computer or mobile device and you can always find us streaming on YouTube. TFNN.com, Educating Investors. Welcome back folks. So what I was talking about in the beginning, time before shoes, our feet were... We used our feet different. Yeah, if you're going through grass, let's say, with bare feet, if you're walking the normal human way you're supposed to do it, as you contract your abs, your knees are slightly bent, and then you're just grooving through the grass, but your toes are feeling where your feet should go, and then you step into it. So you actually kind of use the pad right below your toes. Yeah, your toes are kind of the feelers out there. If there's anything in the way, then you don't hit that spot. So it became casual, became the casual human being with the walls surrounding it. Now we don't have to pay attention to our surroundings. We start heel striking. So that's the change that took place. And Nike, when he invented his running shoe, thought that since we heel strike walking, we should also heel strike running, one of the biggest mistakes ever made. We have a whole generation of people heel striking while running, which affects the knees and the hips, and you see the result. A lot of people have heel and hip problems, even just from walking, but from running even more so. I didn't know that about Nike. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, Dr. Nike. So what about from a tennis shoe standpoint? Are any of them designed for better striking? No, because I don't wear Nike's. Yeah, the running shoes are tilted up in about an inch, some three quarters, some different. Now you have the bare running shoes, which don't have anything at all. And then you have to start over kind of from scratch because your muscles have really been shortened. Same problem women have with high heels. Those muscles get shorter, and now you don't have the flexibility that you used to have. So we've compromised our way of walking quite a bit with shoes and things like that, but we can get this back. There's a lot of chi running and chi walking. But I think homeorectis and modern humans are the walking machines. And let's get back to the great exercise that is walking, because in studies of trained athletes in which researchers set out to see how humans move, no matter which way a runner landed on their feet, whether it be heels, mid, ball toes, running was not fuel efficient. And efficiency in human movement is important. And just as it is in the transport world, and the more fuel efficient a car is, the further it can travel, and the same applies to a person. An efficient human machine needs less energy to cover the same amount of space. That's it?  That's right. We'll see you in the neighborhood. Bye-bye. Bye.

So let's go ahead and get this show started on fabulous, fantastic Masters Friday. Of course, this is Tiger, financial news network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to a less show right now that out 250 points. That's nearly 1% to the upside lead in the charts. Percentage wise, it would be the semis up one in four tenths percent. The trainings are up just over 1%. S&P's up 17 points. NASDAQ up 25, meaning green across the board. Spotfire utility next down about 6% or 75 cents. Right out of 12, 27. Gold slightly green up about 80. Silver's up 11 pennies. Lights recruit up 60 cents out there. Booking holdings leading the charts. Dollar wise, that's 22 buckaroonies. Pioneer natural resources up 16. Disney up 12, that's a big move. That's 10% move today. Contra resources up 11, 10% as well. To the downside, it's Anthem Inc. The health sector, XLV is the only sector, well I take that back, the health sector trading down as well, just slightly. Netflix is off 14 bucks or 4%. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals down 11. Molina Healthcare down 10. So, you know, we could take a look at many things. Of course, we're going to take a look at what you want to look at. The first request really coming in, asking if we could take a look at the indices and the sectors and the whole shebang out here. Let's start with, since it's the end of the week, let's just kind of walk through this methodically. Let's walk through this by taking a look at the weekly chart and what do we know? And there's nothing bearish about this. This would tell us at this stage the game there's no topping signal, no topping pattern. In fact, it was the last week when the EES mini closed above the shooting star candle from the week of March 22nd, 2019. Old resistance, not that that was really old, but resistance becomes support. This would say the weekly chart again saying that we go back to the all-time eyes and then some out there. Nothing bullish on the weekly timeframe chart. Let's check in on the daily timeframe chart. The daily timeframe chart is going to show you that the daily market profile 2900 prices above that, 2910. You can see an A to B equal CD pattern out here, 2929 is its price projection. You can see that we are in or it is in. Wave number six, that's letter F on my screen. We're above the TD set up nine count that occurred two days ago. That count with regard to a topping pattern is gone, it's out the window. Once you exceed either days eight, nine or 10, whichever is the highest of those three, then you're not using that as a tool to identify anything. This was just a little bit of a hiccup after that ninth count out there. Not really much of a sideways move. So what does this say? The daily chart for the EES mini, no topping pattern in place. Price wants to move higher. Whether it's 2929 or 2966, or quite frankly, could even be 3015. That we don't know. We'll just have to take things one day at a time. There's anything to be concerned with. It's not really to be concerned. It would be maybe if Monday doesn't make a higher high, Tuesday could be wave number seven, letter G on the screen. We'll just have to look at what's going on then. If we look at the NQ, and we're just going to look at right now, just look at the weekly and the daily timeframe charts just to avoid the noise, so to speak, on the weekly timeframe chart here for the NQ. Let me actually just kind of clean this up just to tad. This was just showing some of the other nine counts out there. Well, the weekly chart nine count, that has vanished. It vanished as well to close last week. The NQ is just moving its way on up to its all-time high out here. That's what the weekly timeframe chart is saying to you and I. As far as wave counts, it's only in the third wave, letter number C, on a weekly timeframe. If we take a look at the daily for the NQ, what do we know? Price is driving higher, doing it with less relative energy out here. And we know that just simply because my tool draws that pattern in. And today could be, yesterday was count number nine. Today's high could be a double-topping signal with it being a higher high than it was yesterday. So that would be the end of the TD setup nine count out there. I'm not saying that this is going to form a top, but we do want to pay attention because the market will communicate to you and I. The bulls and bears have one role to play on a chart, and that's to simply help us identify what buyers and sellers are doing. Right now we just simply know the pattern, which is that price is being stretched without the appropriate strength behind it. It is in wave number four. The A to B equal CD pattern that is set up here says and moved to 78.55. If that's going to happen, we will see these other patterns fail. But it is the industry at this stage here to be paying attention to come Sunday, Monday out there, as well as fun day. If we go take a look at the Dow and we look at the Dow Equity Futures contract on a weekly time frame, this is a signal that says we haven't made a higher high. Kind of interesting. In fact, the Dow Equity Futures contract right now is trading exactly where it opened up on Sunday evening. $26,395 is the number out here. So that is somewhat perplexing, makes you say something to think about. At this stage, a Dow G candle, if this is how the week were to end, really only means anything at resistance. I know others will tell you something else out there. Let them tell you what they want. I will share with you what I know and that is that at this stage there is no resistance. So the Dow G candle just means that the market is a little bit tired. Doesn't mean that it's top. However, I will say, regardless whether it was a Dow G or not, not taken out last week's high is always something to think about. Now, let's go see what the daily time frame chart is communicating to you and I. Is there anything to think about here? Well, there is. And what there is here to think about is we can see the the butterfly cell pattern, not a three drive to a top pattern, but a butterfly cell pattern that formed four or five days ago when that other Dow G was formed out there. We can see that the key level, believe it or not, that price the YM would need to overcome is Stevie's little dashed blue line. That's the high price. So the Dow is saying not so fast. The daily chart for the NQ says be keep an eye on Sunday Monday's price action. But you and I will do. But we'll be right back.

Toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Welcome back folks. Dao is up 252. We're taking a look at the markets. We're doing that by looking at the weekly and the daily time frame for the four equity futures contracts. We've been through three of them. The ES mini, the clear message from it is it wants higher price, wants to get back to the all-time highs and then some. The NQ says it wants to move higher but says watch Sunday, Monday and see what the outcome there is because there could be a top depending on the candle that it would form. The Dao says okay you know even though it's up 1% 250 points it's still saying not so fast out there. Let's go see what the message of the Russell 2000 is. Let's go take a look at the weekly time frame chart out here What do we know about it? Hey, it's above last week's high that's bullish. Its resistance zone was set up by that Tommy to Mark set up nine count. That was from the week of what week was it? I'm going to tell you what week it was. It was March 1st, 2009 the high out there is what you'd be watching 160360. That's the level that if we're taken out says it wants higher price. Could even be an A to B equal CD to the upside of the weekly time frame chart out there but we won't go there until that happens if we take a look at the daily time frame chart out here the daily time frame chart shows us what it shows us the price is sitting right now at a resistance point for it that was established by the trading session the date was April the 8th that high is critical high being 1588 30 we're 1589 30 so we're one point above that a close above the 1588 30 level would be bullish and say that price wants higher price so the Russell 2000 testing resistance on a daily basis out here the equity futures contract that is the number that I would be watching there now the request was also to take a look at market profiles let's do it this way J here are the let me let me do this well here the four different time frames out here but I say four different time frames I'm looking at the daily in the upper left the weekly in the upper right the monthly in the lower left and the quarterly in the lower right out here and so those are your profile levels for each of those time frames in summary price above the top of the daily above the top of the weekly this is the ES many above the top of the monthly and above the top of the quarterly what say you what does this say says you're about for resistance so the ES many with regard to market profiles with regard to other tools that you and I looked at we looked at the daily in the weekly chart the message here is is clear now it's clear and unequivocal however if you take a look at the daily time frame chart and you just look at a rising trend line that rising trend line just beginning from the high of March 4th then the high of March 21st price in essence and there would be your three drive to a top pattern out here prices hit it it's just pretty clear it's just pretty simple so another word you need to see some follow-through not you but the ES many if I'm referring if I'm talking to it needs to see follow-through come Monday out there should there be a bearish reversal signal there along with the NQ then then there's a topping signal that would be in play I'm not here to tell you the future I'm here to tell you what's going on right now I'd love to tell you the future futures I'm gonna have a tasty meal tonight watching Sergio Mendez will probably drink a little bit too much sake before hand but that never hurt anyone and in a great weekend of golf it sounds like a pretty good pretty good formula for me and anyway in any event we're talking about the formula here with regard to the equity futures contracts let's go take a look at what is the message for the NQ we go take a look at the NQ here's what we're gonna see the daily time frame out here is got us right at the top of the box slightly above it that top is 76 33 where 76 42 look NQ wise that's really just a smidgen 10 points you know in a heartbeat so prices trading up at resistance a close-up 76 33 75 says okay I'm bullish because it was a bearish structured box above the weekly says a once higher price it is not above the monthly the top of the monthly is 77 78 that's where resistance would be the quarterly says we're above resistance out of course the quarter has intended it won't until June nonetheless price is dealing with a resistance level successfully out here so what's the real message here assuming there's no bearish reversal candle come Monday the message is a close today above 76 33 75 says that price wants to go trade up to 77 78 that is your NQ if we go take a look at the Dow equity futures contracts and we go take look at daily weekly monthly and quarterly out here what the daily shows us is that price is trying to make its way up to the 26 509 level that's the top of the profile out there the weekly chart says I'm above resistance closed above it last week pulled back tested resistance closed back above it this week even though it hasn't taken out last week's high the message from a profile standpoint would be bullish out here if you take a look at the monthly time frame the month obviously has not ended but you are trading above resistance at 25 928 that just says I want to go test resistance resistance for it is going to be above its all time high it just taken a little trend line off of the January high of 2018 the October high of 2018 and that would set us up this month in the 27 160 ish type area the quarterly time frame is above the top of its box as well 25 855 I can't do the Russell 2000 I can but what we're going to get is because of the symbol change out here I'm not going to be able to provide you with monthly and quarterly data but if we take a look at the daily it's above the June contract and I'm using Stevie's synthetic composite contract out here and so this is hey it's above resistance top of the box weekly is above it but if we switch over to the June contract which I think is okay and on the June contract what this is going to show us a different set of profiles now the daily is the same so you're above the daily that says it's bullish bullish meaning what meaning that we're going to get is 16 07 40 in essence it's all time high out there that is the message of the Russell 2000 so I hope that that helps everybody out with regard to what the markets are doing on a daily weekly even longer term time frame so that you can anticipate what the markets next move is in summary I would say we just want to really pay attention to Sunday's activity to help assist us in the future and not there's been any kind of change in trend out there now we had a request to go take a look at the Mr. Bill says can we look at the sectors and see which are participating in an upmarket this way especially the XLF so let's start with the XLF let's just do it kind of like a simple simple 10 way out here what do I mean by that well let's just look at while a couple of different things really let's just take a look at the trend lines are going to show you and interestingly enough it's not like a computer my system drew this in by the way I didn't draw this line but what it's doing mill bill mill or bill or both of you out there is taking the high from March 1st as well as the high from March 19th and must be a coincidence at the high today hit that trend line and it is backed off is that bearish is the high that it's taking out one of them that only had 45 million shares it's trading into December 3rd that has 65 million shares it's got volume there XLF if it can clear that trend line bill I'd write that in says it wants to move higher Steve Rhodes with TFNM we'll be right back we'll take look at the XLK some of the other sectors as well XLK XLF which is pretty strong certain you are or strive to be one of the best of

take a look at some of the sectors of the S&P 500 actually I'm gonna switch to the weekly timeframe it provides you with an idea of how the week is done out here I can switch to the daily as well in the case of the XLK a light volume week as it takes on it's a swing point it's all time swing point high it's actually taken it's taken it over it's trading above the level which was 76 27 out there 76 27 that's the number now there was 83 million shares a week of October first it's a weekly chart you're only at 41 million shares it looks to me like where price is headed to bill I would just take the trend line from the highs of August 27th and October the first out there October first was a key reversal session so closing above that is a real positive if we take a look even on light volume so what it is what it is now if we look at the daily timeframe and we kind of use those same trend lines so to speak out here you can see a little bit of resistance perhaps as it moves a bit higher but the weekly message albeit on light volume looks pretty good the XLV is one of those sectors I believe that has not participated well this week it's one of the top three sectors out here we can see how this is traded lower and you can see a trend line to the downside and what this would suggest to you and I this is a weekly timeframe chart that we're looking at but the profile bill that price ran into was a bearish structure daily profile the blue horizontal lines out there and 9249 which was last week's high that in essence rejected price this would suggest to you and I that where the XLV is headed to next not necessarily a final destination would be 8911 you're at 9011 so at least another dollar to the downside below that is going to open up the weekly profiles this is the weekly timeframe we're looking at and I would say 8827 8214 now let's just put this on the daily timeframe out here see if there's anything else that shows up and the only thing else that shows up so price is going to be moving lower you know might want to watch the trading day of March 8 11 million shares today 6 million shares it hasn't tested that area yet but it looks like that's where it's destined that was also right around the daily bottom of its profile that was 8911 out there that was the XLV let's go take a look at the XLC out there often overlooked but shouldn't be because it is one of the sectors inside of the S&P 500 names inside here Facebook and many others kind of the social media space so to speak but it is the believe the fourth weighted sector of the S&P 500 so why is everybody ignoring it I don't know but if we do take a look at its weekly performance Bill looks good to me it's trading above the top of the daily box out there 4836 so this too wants to move higher now 4915 it's truly the center of the box out there we'll see if it struggles to get over that area that's where both buyers and sellers from a weekly perspective are comfortable with price if it can't get over that 5013 is the projected move there the top of that weekly box out here I don't see anything wrong on the daily timeframe prices above all resistance so to speak short term resistance that is Texas T the XLC looks rather bullish to me as well let's go take a look at that energy sector that is XLE let's start off by looking at the weekly timeframe we'll see what its message is out here a weekly timeframe shows that prices above last week but also shows is that it's above the top of its bare structure daily profile that number 6722 nothing more bullish than a failed bearish pattern price right now is above the top of the weekly box that was 6767 you're at 6788 closing above 6767 says it wants higher price now we go calculate higher price out here on the weekly basis 40 million well that you could draw in an A to B equal CD you could draw in a confirmed A to B equal CD not much of a pullback out here that pullback looks like well it was 27% takes you back to its all time highs that would be the energy sector I'm not going to make that call I don't like a A to B equal that's not that I don't like it but when I say I don't like I like to at least see about a 38% retracement out there but neither here nor there if you want to understand the XLE the signal here is pretty simple it's bullish daily and weekly depending upon where today's close is out there so that's the energy sector we go take a look at consumer discretionary XLP now XLP is kind of been an under performer inside of the market although on a weekend and actually on a weekly basis also an under performer and if we take a look it's really a inside week so to speak however what price is doing right now it's trading above the top of the daily profile at 55 95 it is also trading above the top of the weekly profile that weekly profile was 55 79 so watch those two numbers bill a close above that says it wants higher price that was a consumer discretionary sector let's go take a look at the XLI again a weekly time frame is where we're starting off this is our industrial sector not yet trading above last week's high running right in essence into resistance by a penny or so the top of the box 7713 where it's 7715 closing above it says higher price you can see the diagonal trend line that would give you a target in the $78 and change area that's the weekly time frame chart we don't know that we need to switch to daily we will the daily is not going to give us generate any larger signal watch 7715 7713 the top of the weekly profile there bill to provide you with any additional information come the end of the trading session today we got the material sector the XLB the XLB slightly almost looks like the XLI what it doesn't look like though the differentiation is that prices trading above a bear structured box that knocking on the door form today now could be today maybe was it today could be today let me see was it today let me just switch over on the daily time frame chart see if that is the case out there not wasn't the case I didn't think it was the case it was from something to form three days ago nothing more bullish than a failed bearish pattern and in essence that's what you've got with the XR to the XLB so it wants higher price if you're asking me where I'm going to say 5892 as its next move out there that is the that is the material sector for the S&P 500 just two to go utility I take that back just three to go out here if you take a look at the utility sector not much happening out here just trading with inside the daily profile from the top at 5833 to the bottom at 5741 so not much else there really to talk about let's go take a look at the real estate sector XLRE see what it is doing weekly time frame it has intercession made a higher high here's the deal it's trading above the daily in the weekly time frame out here so this looks pretty bullish let's take a look at the daily chart the daily chart would suggest you know prices inching up on a trend line in the 37 ish dollar area and let's go ahead and finish it off we were able to do this during that segment XLY is it the XLY that's the last one that we've got to do out here XLY on a weekly time frame let's put that up you making a higher high you are above last week's high out here you're above daily you're above weekly simply wants to add higher Mr. Bill does that help you out is that the info you were looking for and everyone else out there Mr. Roads with TFN we'll go take a look at who sent in email requests if you are in the CD market and looking for a

Tiger TV for the latest market information so the first e-mail question coming in from Earl Earl says hey Steve hey Earl TLT Continuously Back is this becoming a trend Earl what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at the 30 year t-bond out here and I'll show you the area really to watch right now the law is 146.31 the law is 146.30 one tick below that now 146 say right around 146.28 what we're going to see out here is price test the weekly stevie green line I've got it as a dash level if price closes below that doesn't have to be today could be Sunday Monday is moving below that then a key level of support on a weekly basis you and I just looked at look look the look we just looked at well weekly and daily time frame charts out here so watch that level if there's a close below that then when you say is this a trend I would say there is more movement to the downside likely should that occur now where could price take us to we've gotten I'm using my synthetic contract out here because because of the role and having more data it's profiles will look different than the June contract the weekly profiles would take you to 145.21 and 144.07 the A to B equal CD to the downside would take you to 14 and we are trading below the B point right now so we're trading below the B point that was from the week of April the fifth out here this would say there's an A to B CD that is in play but because we know where stevie's weekly green line is I would not suggest that you go take the TBT right now as an example because you want the market to prove to you that it's going to go ahead and do nothing other than just test support on a weekly basis out here if that fails today then you can take a look at the TBT with a price projection in the 30 year down into the 144.91, 143.92 ish area out there so Earl the pearl I hope that helps you out with regard to what the charts are telling you and I that the 30 year treasury is doing next questions coming in from Mike from Merrimack New Hampshire Mike says I bought ECA let's come out here and put ECA in Kana yeah it is in Kana it's been a long time since I have looked at in Kana but Mike goes on to say I bought ECA in April fifth at 7 bucks it's trading at 750 so nice trade there trading pattern was to sell at 761 okay well it was at 761 the actual high today is 757 out there what do you see today what's the average true range I'm not asking a whole lot are you and you're not you're just asking what's the average true range so I will tell you that the average range for last 10 days is 29 cents out there answers question number one where do you recommend to put the stop at this juncture okay so here's what the let's do a couple of things out here let's look at the bar that prices trading into on a daily basis it's really your resistance so to speak March 19th 23 million shares out there you're up with 28 you're pushing into a swing point today with volume the high there is 765 so I sort of understand where your 761 is coming and you're pushing in with volume which it may take out I don't know if it will or won't so you're asking about a stop out here and it sounds like you got in at 705 and you're just I'm just trying to read your mind out here which is a terrible thing to do but because of what you're asking me you're in at 705 looking for 761 why don't you stay with the trade really now it's pushing in the swing point it should I'll tell you what it should do is at least go test the 765 level maybe it's going to take it out I don't know I don't you know total is 781 is the top of the weekly box out here so there's some more resistance 871 if you can get above 781 would be a good thing prices trading above the top of the daily level right now but it's equally distributed 747 but volume is pushing higher weekly what is volume doing you've got 135 million shares pushing 139 all that looks pretty good but it that just means it's going to go test that high which never got to the top of the box the weekly box that is and no guarantee that this time it's going to either so I give you the data 29 cents your stop needs to be 29 cents below where it's trading at a minimum really more than 29 cents 29 cents times 1.272 at least to Fibonacci expansion then you'll be giving back all of your profits so you don't want to do this I think you had a trading plan you know are we going to fight over a few pennies not that we're fighting but you know what I mean out here so best information what it's telling you right now pay you're above daily resistance you're pushing a swing point with volume says it wants to make a few pennies higher is that worth the risk to you that I don't know thanks for writing in let's take a look at Tim M Tim writes in and says can you check to see if the foreign market if foreign money is still coming into the US I don't even have to look I can tell you the answer is unequivocally yes in huge giganto ways out here so Tim the global flow of capital is parked in having a blast here in the good old US of A that is going to continue quite frankly it has been that global flow of capital that has taken us from the lows in December all the way back up to the highs of October of last year yeah it has if we take a look at right now let's not look at this chart but just simply come and take a look at the Dow equity futures contract priced in both euros and in dollars we made a new all-time high this is a monthly chart new all-time high last week that bodes well for the Dow in dollars eventually making a new all-time high we're still in a consolidation really quite frankly in both but yeah and even in December just to show you the global flow of capital who was buying first the swing point I'll put an arrow here we just put two arrows for Tim and for but let's use blue here's the here's the calendar here's the February lows that formed in both the Dow priced in dollars whoops I guess I have to choose the arrow key out here both in dollars I'm going to move my cursor away from you can see the month so it's those blue arrows were both the Dow in dollars and Dow in euros bottom right now in December the Dow price in dollars pushed through that area closed above it by the end of the by the end of the month that told us the consolidation was still in place but back in December price never pushed through it you just came back to test it and from there you had the European money probably UK money too just simply pilot on in saying thank you very much Latka right from taxi rates had come I wish I could say how he would say thank you very much I didn't really say thank you very much right but you kind of know what I mean in any event Tim the answer to your question is yes the global flow of capital continues to pile into the US and it will continue to pile in to the US just think of it like this Brexit's been pushed off until for another until October or something you're sitting over there in the UK and we're not looking at the Dow granted in pounds out here but it's all really kind of referring to Europe you're just looking at this Mario Draghi's got issues there's issues over in Paris they're just so under really in all of France they're so underreported here I have friends just a few of them over in France they say the yellow vest movement is alive and well and ticking won't stop ticking that

market opinion while originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply later Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls thus was born the Chapman wave sequence using the Chapman wave methodology along with other indicators Basil Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion each market day with his

trading hour right here on TFNN 6 S&P 16 Russell 2000 is up about three tenths of a percent that would be about five points so kind of the weakest of them out here Pradeep is asking if you should close out a losing trade in TZA now I don't know the full extent of your trade whether you have the proper position size whether you just risk 1% on the trade so you've got stops in place on this or not assuming that you do then let's go take a look at the message of the markets and what I would be watching come the end of the day's session out here and that is the Russell 2000 equity futures contract I'll put up the Russell itself they're kind of doing this here's the Russell 2000 equity futures contract my apology the high from the day of April 8 it's 1588 30 you're at 1588 10 that's a resistance level it's not one that most people would have been able to have identified but if price closes below that then Pradeep you know that at least resistance held and would logically say hey you've got the proper position size it was a trade that you put on and I could justify staying with the trade at that stage with regard to the Russell 2000 cash in to see out here the number to be looking at here and it's going to be from the trading day I've this got green arrow green lines instead of the blue out here is the same day April 8 and the high there is 1588 30 you're 1588 even Steven out here if you get a close above that you know a key level of resistance will have been broken and then you're going to have to make the decision whether or not you want to take the risk because resistance has failed out there that's the best that I can share with you are the reasons to stay in inside the Russell 2000 potentially the five hour time frame chart that finishes here at two o'clock you've got price moving higher doing less relative energy and a dark cloud cover but you can see price sitting right on Stevie's green line so that's not really a conviction move to the downside at least not just yet that was a five hour time frame so Pradeep best of luck I hope that info helps you out and I hope all the info helps everyone out there thanks so much for being here today folks and during the week stay tuned David White's up next I'll be back with you on magical Monday have a terrific weekend take care
