Julian gets into the strange, under-covered world of Russian peptide research — starting with Vladimir Khavinson, the scientist behind decades of Soviet-era peptide bioregulator work, and what happened to him and his research as the field moved West. That leads into Epitalon specifically, and how much of that original Soviet research got lost or forgotten once the USSR collapsed.

From there the conversation shifts to circadian rhythm science — and the surprisingly deliberate way Vegas casinos are designed around it, using lighting, layout, and the total absence of clocks or windows to keep people awake, disoriented, and on the floor longer than they intend to be.

The clip closes on the messier side of the peptide world: the real differences between black market peptides and what's sold as "research grade," why that distinction matters, and what people are actually getting when they buy either one.
