Nerva offered a 7-day trial for the use of hypnotherapy to address the inclusion of the mind repair in IBS.
I’d succeed with the hypnotherapy app Finito in re: to smoking cessation, and found Nerva to be foundationally similar in respect to the app development and daily use. I tried the 7-day and proceeded to add this to my plan to stabilize and improve my symptoms. Adding the principals of FoMAP foods and a daily mood and affirmation app, I’ve found at week 3 I’m building confidence I am capable of supporting the brilliance of my body to be its healthiest!
Anxiety has wrecked havoc on my body at 61 years old, and I love knowing though aging the biology and chemistry running through my veins and body are smarter than my anxieties and know how to help me life the life I desire while being healthy!
Nerva is founded on others brilliance, intelligence; research and trials; and with the common threads of our human-ness.
I’ve found hypnotherapy to be successful; little work required and productive in supporting me.
Thank you Nerva team for focusing your daily work to help myself and others dealing with the mind of the gut and its complexities!! I appreciate each of you. 🌻

I’ve been doing this for one week consistently so far - I feel calmer (I think I’ve fallen asleep once or twice) and it really teaches you how to disconnect and focus on breathing and subconscious thoughts, as well as positive affirmations that reinforce positive steps you’re taking. All while educating you through it all so you can understand and take control back. You’ve got to be open to allowing the proven techniques and trust the process.

I wasn’t sure about this at first, but after completing two sessions and reading some of the educational material also, I was able to visit my daughter without the usual worry loop. What was I going to eat, where could I eat, was my restricted diet going to inconvenience everyone else? Blah, blah, blah, many of you know the routine. Usually before I even got in the car for the four hour drive I was taking something for diarrhea, I would have myself all worked up. This time I was able to talk to my daughter before going, was able to plan for my meal needs and went with no trouble! I was so much more relaxed and had better knowledge about what was causing some of my issues. I paid for the year so I would keep using Nerva and I do. Do I never have a flair up, no I do sometimes, but for some reason it just doesn’t set me off the way it used to, that is all part of the beauty of the app all this stuff is in the stories. The people that write the stories, it is like they have experienced what I go through and address everything. Try it, maybe you will be as lucky as me.

Change
With every session I feel a change . It might be small but it’s a change I didn’t feel before. I still feel changes. I am learning more about myself from every session . I feel like I have more control over what happens with my body. I smile more!!!

Already seeing changes
I’m five days in and I already see an improvement. I’ve had diarrhea for the past 12 weeks and I’ve had normal bowel movements the past two days. Still have some urgency, cramping and wind. But I am seeing positive changes.

I have suffered with IBS-C for most of my adult life. Desperate for some relief I turned to Nerva. I was diligent in participating in the sessions every day for 6 weeks. I saw some relief from symptoms during this time but saw a miraculous change in the weeks starting maintenance. I have never felt so good.

Gut Brain Relief
Week 1 for me was a difference, now I’m in week 4 and very happy/relieved to say this is working for my body. I’m in it for sustainability for my Gut and Brain communication to continue with connection.

I’m into the second week of this program and I am noticeably calmer, with less GI problems. I’ve been on the low FODMAP diet for 5 years. It has helped me immensely, by reducing my IBS symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Because of the success I have had with the low FODMAP diet, I totally trust Monash University, where the diet was developed. Knowing that Nerva was developed by the same people, I was very interested in what else they have come up with. This program is educating me about the fact that there is a level of healing possible beyond where I have gotten to with the diet. I am understanding that the essential issue is a hypersensitivity of my brain - gut nervous system, and that can be calmed with hypnotherapy and diaphragmatic deep breathing. The hypnotherapy sessions are 15 minutes long, and there is a new one every day. There are short things to read every day, to increase my understanding of what is possible. There is excellent email support. The 7 day free trial allowed me to check it out adequately before paying. I have a clear feeling now that I will be a new person by the end of the 6 week program. I am so grateful that this came to me on my Instagram feed!

I did the six week course and was quite dedicated (5-6sessions per week). The readings that accompanied the hypnotherapy were very valuable in educating me in what was happening in my body. I am very happy with how this has improved my symptoms and feel it is great value as you can undertake it in your own home whenever you want and you don’t have to attend specialist appointments to receive this treatment, I recommend you give it a try. I am going to continue using the app for the rest of the subscription time to maintain the health level I have achieved so far with the app thank you Nerva for this valuable addition to my healthcare for IBS-D.

This app has truly been life-changing! For over 30 years, I struggled with a nervous stomach and had no idea what was causing it or how to fix it. I started using the app, and after just two weeks, I noticed incredible results. My stomach issues started to subside, and now I use the sessions regularly for maintenance. It’s unbelievable how much this has helped me after decades of discomfort. I highly recommend this app to anyone dealing with similar issues!

I am beginning to focus more on the responses in my body whilst doing the hypnotherapy sessions. I can feel and sense the difference both mentally and physically.

I started Nerva not expecting much, but willing to try anything. My specific issue is chronic nausea caused by gut micro biome issues. The gut/brain connection is real. Nerva is able to address areas that pharma cannot. Even though I did not consider my issue specifically IBS, Nerva still helped. If you have been suffering it is worth a try. I now have an effective tool in my tool kit.

I have been meditating for years but have not experienced hypnotherapy. I find this app to be very easy to use and helpful. I am experiencing some alleviation of my IBS symptoms that have troubled me for years. I’d like to follow a mostly vegan diet but have struggled with reactions to FODMAPs and fiber. Now I’m managing to eat the way I want and have experienced fewer symptoms and greater peace. I’m encouraged that I may not have to be trapped by my IBS forever.

Pleasantly surprised
I was a little sceptical about being able to enter into a state of hypnosis, but the level of relaxation I achieve with each session, speaks for itself. I find myself looking forward to my daily sessions and find the readings extremely informative.

Feeling very positive after a week. Seeing small improvements already. App is easy to use and very professional. Costly app, but if it works it’s cheap versus the doctors and nutritionist that I’ve seen.

La voix de l'animatrice est incroyablement apaisante, et chaque séance de méditation devient un véritable moment de détente. Les effets attendus sur mon bien-être sont au rendez-vous, et c'est un plaisir de m'immerger dans ces exercices de relaxation. Cependant, je souhaiterais pouvoir désactiver certains exercices de détente qui me plaisent moins tout en continuant à profiter des autres.

I was skeptical about Nerva. While I believe in mind body connection it seemed unlikely that a daily meditation would undo my mess of a gut or the daily misery and fear regarding food as eating anything carried the promise of terrible gas or potential diahrrea.
But I decided to try it and by six weeks my gut was so much better. I still have bad days so I do meditations each week when I can but life is so much more manageable now.
I live the readings and the hypnotherapy topics and the voice of the reader is perfect.
I now wish I had Nerva for other things like my asthma.
What people don’t realize is that everything in the body is connected. If you’re having problems in the gut it’s probably due to imbalances elsewhere. I now believe chemo the off my liver which then threw off my gut. So I’m treating my whole body - detoxing metals through cilantro and wild blueberries. I’ve given up alcohol and reduced my coffee intake.
I also highly recommend Pendulum probiotics
The first one that I’ve taken that actually works for me and does not upset my system. That and turmeric and peppermint oil are keeping me steady now that I’ve finished the Nerva course.
Highly recommend this program.
