Why is the minimum energy equal to the energy uncertainty?

TL;DR Summary

Why is the minimum energy equal to the energy uncertainty?

I was watching this video on Youtube, however, I don't get the step at 14:50 where he says that ΔE≥½hf means that E₀=½hf.

Could someone explain why the minimum energy is equal to the energy uncertainty?

"Watch this obviously confusing video and then explain it to me" is a big, big ask.

Could someone explain why the minimum energy is equal to the energy uncertainty?

It's not.

It's just saying that, since the energy of any state whatever must be greater than or equal to ##hf / 2##, the energy of the lowest energy state, the ground state energy ##E_0##, is equal to ##hf / 2##.

That's not what the above is saying.
