What actually started your organisation? Most people point to the product, the launch, or the first big win. But the real beginning usually came long before any of that — in a belief, a frustration, or a problem someone cared deeply enough to solve.In this video, we unpack what a company’s WHY really means and why reconnecting with it can bring clarity, alignment, and renewed energy to your work.

<blockquote>These aren't neutral tools. - Adam Aleksic</blockquote>When an algorithm suggests a word, does it steal a bit of your original thought? Adam Aleksic takes the TED stage to challenge the idea that AI is a harmless helper. By looking at the intersection of etymology and technology, he exposes the profit-driven motives behind the platforms that shape our reality.&nbsp;

Your Personality Might Be Algorithmically Shaped

This is an absolutely brilliant watch. Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz) is speaking the language of health here for those above 50. She takes complex internal medicine and turns it into a clear, data-driven turnaround strategy for the human body. Here is the bottom line: The video perfectly outlines the exact metabolic mechanics required to clear out the backlog in a fatty liver, stabilize arterial health (like shrinking soft plaque), and keep the brain operating at peak CEO levels.Here is the deep research breakdown from the video and the exact practices we can implement.<h3>1. The Core Paradigm: Insulin is the "Storage Facility"</h3>Dr. Boz explains that insulin is essentially an insulating, storing hormone [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=640">10:40</a>]. When we eat too many carbohydrates or eat too frequently, we create "buckets of insulin" [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=831">13:51</a>].The Bottleneck: High insulin locks your fat stores and prevents the liver from taking out the "trash" (cellular debris and excess fat).The Fix: You cannot burn fat or clear out a fatty liver until those glycogen (sugar) stores are completely emptied out [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=1044">17:24</a>].<h3>2. Practices to Implement ASAP</h3>A. The "Sunset Rule" for Eating We often think a calorie is just a calorie, but Dr. Boz highlights that the cost of a calorie changes with timing. One bite of food after 6:00 PM requires ten times the insulin effort as a bite before noon [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=524">08:44</a>].Action: Stop eating late at night. When the sun rises, cortisol naturally spikes to wake you up, which tells the liver to release stored glucose [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=2599">43:19</a>]. If you ate a late, heavy meal (like pasta), your morning fasting glucose is going to run hot (creeping up to that 5.9 mmol/L mark). Close the kitchen by 6 PM or 7 PM.B. Track the "Dr. Boz Ratio" (Data Analytics for your Blood) As a leader, you know that what gets measured gets managed. Dr. Boz recommends getting a dual glucose and ketone blood monitor. You simply divide your Fasting Glucose by your Blood Ketones [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=2416">40:16</a>].Action: If your glucose is 86 and ketones are 0.9, your ratio is roughly 95. If your ketones are 0.1, your ratio is close to 900—which means your engine is strictly running on sugar and storing fat [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=2678">44:38</a>]. We want to see that ratio dropping to prove your liver is actually burning fat.C. The "Sardine Jumpstart" (The 72-Hour Reset) When the liver is stubborn and won't produce ketones because insulin has been too high for too long, Dr. Boz uses the "Sardine Challenge" [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=3284">54:44</a>].Action: For 3 days, eat nothing but sardines in oil or water. It eliminates all carbohydrates, provides extreme satiety, and floods the body with Omega-3s (which is incredible for stabilizing soft plaque in the arteries and reducing inflammation). If sardines are a bridge too far, she suggests high-fat, zero-carb foods like eggs or beef brisket to force the liver to pivot [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=3487">58:07</a>].D. The "Keto Continuum" (Progressive Fasting) Fasting is highly recommended, but it's a progression, not a light switch.Action: Start by strictly cutting carbs to under 20 grams a day [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=2924">48:44</a>]. Once your body adapts and starts making ketones, move to the 16:8 fasting window [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=2960">49:20</a>]. Eventually, pushing towards a 24-to-36-hour fast acts as a profound reset for a congested metabolism [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=3047">50:47</a>].<h3>3. The Spiritual Foundation</h3>One of the most profound moments in the interview is at the very end. When asked about finding inner peace during emotionally triggering times, Dr. Boz doesn't point to a medical biohack; she points to her daily devotion and prayer [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVXnVe8eOkM&amp;t=6432">01:47:12</a>].<blockquote>"It’s not that you do it on the bad days, it’s that you’ve got the foundation for doing it on the good days."&nbsp;</blockquote>The Lesson: Whether facing a health turnaround or navigating a corporate merger, our grounding in faith and scripture isn't just a reactive tool; it is the proactive armor that keeps our stress, cortisol, and ultimately our physical health in check.&nbsp;This video is a masterclass in treating the body as a temple that requires diligent, data-driven stewardship. &nbsp;This is a great start to understanding parts of health for leaders as part of our Wellness Wednesday series
