In Episode 98 of the ANEW Insight Podcast, Dr. Supatra Tovar welcomes back plant-based facilitator Guy Borgford for Part 2 of their transformative conversation on plant medicine, emotional healing, and the path back to inner wisdom.

In this powerful continuation, Guy shares how intentional work with psychedelics like ayahuasca and psilocybin helped him release long-held grief, quit destructive habits like binge drinking and smoking, and realign with his true purpose. What began as a fast-paced, disconnected lifestyle transformed into a conscious journey of healing, awakening, and service.

Listeners will hear the profound story of how Guy’s unresolved grief from the sudden death of his father was finally released—decades later—through a single mushroom journey. That release was followed by the spontaneous healing of his asthma, which had emerged shortly after his loss. This experience is a clear example of how suppressed trauma can become embedded in the body—and how it can be processed and released through somatic and spiritual tools.

Together, Dr. Tovar and Guy dive into the neuroscience and spiritual insight behind these healing modalities. From the neurogenesis sparked by entheogens to the importance of integration, safety, and intention, they unpack how these plant medicines are not magic pills—but powerful tools for those willing to do the inner work. They also explore alternatives for those who don’t feel called to psychedelics, including breathwork, meditation, nature immersion, creativity, and nervous system regulation.

Key topics explored include:

• How entheogens like ayahuasca and psilocybin promote healing through neuroplasticity
• The emotional and physical cost of unresolved trauma and the relief that comes through expression
• Why Guy stopped using substances like cocaine, cannabis, and cigarettes after plant medicine experiences
• The role of integration in making spiritual awakenings sustainable
• Why most of us are disconnected due to overstimulation, social programming, and consumer-driven culture
• Practical ways to reconnect with your intuition, body, and purpose—whether or not you use psychedelics
  
  

Guy also shares how Casa de Flujo, his mountain-based healing retreat, creates safe and supportive environments for people to explore plant medicine, mindfulness, and reconnection with nature. He emphasizes that the goal is never perfection—but a practice of remembering who we truly are and living in alignment with that truth.

If you’ve ever struggled with loss, emotional numbness, or a sense of disconnection from your body and your life, this episode offers a powerful roadmap back to yourself.
