Do you know what the benefits of plant-based medicine are? 🤔
Have you ever heard of Ayahuasca? 🌿
In today’s episode, Sonya chats to Simon Ruffell, a Psychiatrist, Senior Research Fellow & CEO of Onaya Health, whose work is dedicated to exploring the traditional psychedelic brew ayahuasca.
Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive & plant-based brew, traditionally used by Indigenous cultures and folk healers in the Amazon for spiritual ceremonies, divination, and healing a variety of psychosomatic issues.
During the episode, spirituality meets science as Sonya & Simon discuss Simon’s research into ayahuasca, how his previous experiences working with child soldiers in Africa affected that research and the impact that plant-based medicine can have on physical and mental health.
If you’re an entrepreneur, creator or leader who wants to know more about plant-based medicine and its potential benefits on your physical & mental health then this discussion is for you!

GUEST BIO:
Simon draws from his training in three modalities: Western medicine (medical doctor specialising in psychiatry), research psychology (with a PhD in ayahuasca and mental health), and traditional plant medicine (student of curanderismo).
He worked on a major trial at King’s College London investigating the effects of psilocybin on treatment-resistant depression, though since 2016 his work has been primarily dedicated to exploring the traditional psychedelic brew ayahuasca. He is CEO of Onaya Health and co-founded the not-for-profit Onaya Science, researching the effects of ayahuasca in naturalistic Amazonian settings in collaboration with universities, charities, and Indigenous-led think tanks worldwide. Simon’s work seeks to understand plants such as ayahuasca from both an Indigenous and a Western viewpoint, with the goal of generating a richer understanding of healing modalities. He is currently training under Keyo Sui Rono and Don Rono Lopez.
