IIUC your ~/.profile should contain something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
HOME_ENVIRONMENT=$HOME/.guix-home
. $HOME_ENVIRONMENT/setup-environment
$HOME_ENVIRONMENT/on-first-login
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So the way to ‘deactivate’ guix home would be to delete these lines as
these are run during login.
