Nerva reviews

I used to feel like I had to live my life based on my GI symptoms. My anxiety would spiral out of control as my gut symptoms did. Thats until I came across Nerva. I got so much benefit from it, I started recommending it to my patients with IBS. They all echo the same thing - “I feel like I have a better handle on my symptoms, especially mentally”

My dietician recommended trying Nerva to help with IBS discomfort. I was a little skeptical because I wasn’t sure if it would actually work, but I figured it couldn’t hurt to try. It only takes about 15 min a day and I find it helps so much- not only with discomfort, but also anxiety caused by IBS. I’m in the maintenance phase now and I find I feel better when I continue doing the app everyday. It took me a little to find the best time for me to do it because it’s so relaxing that sometimes I’d fall asleep if I did it at night. I have found the morning works best for me- just while still in bed with AirPods. I like the woman’s voice- far better than apps with mindfulness like Headspace. I’m surprised my GI dr doesn’t recommend this because it’s been more helpful at managing pain than meds she has prescribed and has no bad side effects. I plan to tell her how helpful it is at my next appointment! I would highly recommend this app and have already to friends. I recently had an issue with the app freezing and the customer service answered very quickly and are very friendly. It turned out there was just a brand new phone update my phone hasn’t done automatically yet. I love that they are available to help even around the holidays!

I started using Nerva during a really bad phase: depression, anxiety and IBS. Couldn’t believe how much things changed for the better after 2-3 months of regular use. Now almost one year later I’m still using it few times a week for maintenance! Only wish there were more sessions added but no other complaints! Thanks a lot Nerva!!

So far, it’s only been a few days I love the sessions where I can relax and listen. I do have a lot of anxiety because I haven’t felt well since Covid 2 weeks ago. Irritable bowels and that creates a viscious loop. I don’t know what to eat, can’t stop going to the bathroom, my stomach hurts and I’m scared. I’ve never experienced this before. Christmas is in a couple of days and so can’t get a hold of any of my doctors. I feel all alone.

This app is truly life changing! I have struggling with IBS for years now and cutting food groups out of my diet always left me feeling down. This app has really helped me understand my body more and especially that my personal IBS is actually more linked with my anxiety and stress levels than what I eat. The customer service team are truly excellent and always get back to any questions really quickly! Anne especially has been super helpful with my recent query. I don’t tend to do reviews, but I think everyone needs to know about this app!

I am suffering from IBS, acid reflux and LPR reflux. My acid reflux is gone and I am hoping to relieve my IBS and LPR reflux with this app together with diet and nutritional therapy. So far Nerva is helping a lot with dealing with very real stresses. I highly recommend this app.

After a diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus my GERD was out of control. My dietician recommended Nerva to help with my stress level which was impacting my reflux. This app was amazing, I immediately felt calm after each session. It made a huge difference along with my medication and diet. Thank you Nerva for your tremendous help.

I have struggled with IBS and anxiety-related stomach issues for years. This app has truly been one of the most impactful methods for helping me manage my issues. It’s incredible how much the brain and gut are connected, and this process really proves how successful meditation and psychology-based methods are for aiding in IBS relief. Special shout-out to the amazingly helpful and responsive customer support as well. Anne was fantastic and helped me quickly resolve a billing issue I had with my subscription.

This program has been one of the most effective treatments for my gut sensitivity and has reduced my symptom flares by over 80%. I have endometriosis, and with this comes frequent pelvic pains and abdominal/GI symptoms. At about week 3 of doing Nerva, I started to notice a big improvement in my mental well being, a sense of self efficacy and calm during previously tense or stressful situations. My bowel habits have been so much more consistent, regular and my sensitivity to foods has gone way down. I am no longer hyper vigilant/ fearful of groups of foods for fear of an IBS flare. As an added note, I am a licensed pelvic floor physical therapist, and approve of the mind-body approach used in this app. The educational readings provided on the chronic pain/stress cycle, GI system, and nervous system is on point! One of the key approaches to treatment is education. When we know what is happening in our bodies and why, it helps ease the anxiety of not knowing/ hyper vigilance to sensations. I now recommend it to all of my patients who have IBS!

I have been recommending Nerva to anyone I know, and will continue to do so. For many years I denied that my IBS was stress based as I didn’t “feel nervous in the moment”. Through the daily readings, Nerva helped me to understand the effect that subconscious stress can have on the body (in my case, a high intensity job and other chronic pain conditions). Nerva has completely changed my life. Gone are the flares before meeting friends, a big event, a meal out. My quality of life has massively improved. Once removing the stress component of my IBS I could see more clearly the foods that were causing issues. I will caveat my huge improvements by saying that I also starting taking antidepressants and more portion control of high FODMAP foods. But nothing is off the menu now. Thank you Nerva!

Won’t say it’s an all in cure for certain, but I will say I started using the app a year ago and did notice significant improvement in my symptoms. The sessions are very soothing - the first few months, I would complete the sessions and then fall into the deepest sleep! Over time, decided to use the app at night for a two for one deal - gut health plus sleep meditation ;-). Even now I’m on the maintenance plan, I find if I’m stressed or anxious, the app is an easy go-to. I still watch what I eat, but the app has been good to address the mental side of IBS for me.

I t is so nice feeling that I might get better soon! I am already feeling less stressed! I haven't had a Bowel issue since starting the sessions! I don't know if this is coincidence or not! But: I will take the results as a win win for now! I hope and pray this works for me! It is an awful thing to live with! It's nice knowing that someone understands what I have yo live with daily! Thank you for your help! Diane

I signed up for the app after trying the 7 day free trial. I was diagnosed with IBS a few months ago and have been trying and failing to deal with it through finding triggers, changing my diet and taking peppermint oil. Considering my days seemed to completely revolve around these strategies, my success has been very limited and feeling generally poorly all day. However, after using the app for less than 2 weeks, I feel more positive/upbeat, my sleep has improved (remarkable as this has been an issue for 3-4 years) and I have recognised that I am full of stress and physical tension. I have 3 chronic conditions as well as IBS and think they must/might be all connected. I have often wondered if there is a way of speaking to my subconscious to help my conditions and am hoping that my daily practice with the app is a doorway to this, and that I will be able to get some relief from IBS and maybe even my other conditions.

I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. But that never held me back from trying it because after several years (and thousands of dollars) of doctors and testing and NEVER getting any answers except for some blanket “anxiety” answers, THIS WORKS. I’ve only been using it a week and I’ve already seen drastic decrease in feeling crappy during the day (I didn’t even take Pepto this week!), nausea and pain has been minimal. I’m already even seeing a difference in bathroom habits. I was only able to do the trial for now, as money is short, but I assure you that the cost is LOW compared to the amount of money that I’ve spent on medications and doctors in the past. I will definitely be revisiting it immediately when my personal funds allow. Also, side note: I have PTSD and sometimes I would be triggered during sessions and I would feel like I wasn’t able to focus enough but it still all somehow still worked. THIS is what doctors need to suggest when their answer is “anxiety”. The education of WHY and a SOLUTION.

Have only completed the first week but am very surprised to have less anxiety, better sleep and improved gastrointestinal function already. I have had IBS and panic disorder for decades and this program is the most effective therapy I’ve tried. Even my fibromyalgia is better. I’m hopeful that the good results will continue and expect I’ll become a longtime maintenance customer!

After struggling with IBS for 5 years and having followed low FODMAP diet and various medications for symptom relief for 3 years, this is the only thing that worked for me with consistent results. It’s been 2 months since I completed the program and I am feeling great. I no longer feel nervous about when I’ll have my next flare up. I can eat anything, make plans and not worry about how I’ll be feeling afterwards. Thank you so much for this app. You’ve changed my life!

IBS affects folks in many, many different ways and the stress cycle with it, for me, is the most damaging and upsetting. For many years now I have felt so out of control, using various different diets, Drs & Coaches to help and as a result it’s left me feeling completely out of control with what I eat. (Sometimes I’ve had a complete breakdown in a restaurant/cafe because all I can have is air and water from the menu, which brings on deep feelings of depression and actually suicidal thoughts at times) This app has been fantastic to help me gain control of my diet & my life again. The calming sensation on my mind & gut has been amazing and I’m really starting to notice the benefits. I 100% would recommend to anyone suffering with IBS or any gut related issues (mine include; IBS, SIBO Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowtth & Histamine Intolerance). This app has really helped to improve my symptoms in all issues. Thank you Nerva!

I have tried for two years now to get even the slightest bit of relief - finally Nerva has helped me calm down (stress being my number 1 trigger) and I can complete daily activities with my mind being distracted - something I couldn’t before! This is a great app. Couldn’t recommend it more.

a science-backed and non-invasive treatment for IBS that actually works, helps you feel more grounded + less alone in the process. best utilized long-term along with treatments from doctors/therapists for a holistic approach. started nerva when i was experiencing the worst of my symptoms from IBS/anxiety/SIBO including incredible digestive pain, nausea, dizziness, panic attacks, numbness + tingling, fatigue, mood swings + diarrhea. started experiencing relief 1 week in + it kept improving as i got the right treatment from my doctor. when i have flare-ups i come back to nerva and it helps tremendously.

This app worked impressively well for me. I have struggled with ibs-c for ten years and had become anxious and depressed alongside which often exacerbated it (and vice versa). After completing the Nerva course once I have been almost symptom free for three months. This is really promising. I can genuinely feel my digestion improving in the middle of most sessions on the app, and the maintenance program is well set up if you experience a flare. It’s also been so nice not to have to restrict foods as aggressively. I can eat chickpeas and cheese and lentils again. Magic.
