Nerva reviews

I made a mistake in setting up my account, and 2 lots of payments were taken from my Credit Card. I contacted Nerva and received an immediate reply from Anne, who investigated, found the problem and the second payment was refunded within days. Excellent customer service. So far, so good with the treatment, although I have been on holiday and have fallen behind with the plan. I’m only a couple of weeks into it. The articles are very interesting and enlightening. I do think I have managed to calm myself down and not get so stressed.

I can’t recommend Nerva more highly than by tapping the maximum 5 stars on offer above ! I know I’m on a journey to better health and control of symptoms- & am grateful for the progress made - & I truly appreciate the caring and thoughtful maintenance programme. I know that more progress is possible for my individual case and I am confident that I’ll get there thanks to the quality of Nerva research, execution and aftercare. I’m do glad to have shared the link with my friends. Thank you !

I’ve never had a consistent meditation practice or anything of the sort, but Nerva has created the space for me to have a regular practice and immediately improved my relationship with my gut. Just knowing that I can impact my physical well-being with mental intervention is reason enough to use Nerva. But on top of that, I get all the benefits of meditating for 15 minutes every day! I saw some immediate improvement in symptoms my first week. Some symptoms returned in the second week, but as I continue with the program, they become less overwhelming. Recommending this to my friends with IBS, especially when elimination diets and medications and supplements haven’t been doing enough to mitigate symptoms. Love the sessions, love the encouragement and research-backed results, and love the support team - they are genuinely invested in your well-being! (Shout out to Anne, who provides 5-star service every time!)

I’ve tried almost everything I know to alleviate the problems associated with IBS and nothing has worked in the long term. I wasn’t particularly sceptical about trying Nerva as I’ve used hypnotherapy before and I know that it works. Even though I didn’t notice immediate results I religiously stuck to the program for the full six weeks (and beyond actually) and now I am virtually symptom free. I no longer worry when travelling or, in my case, when taking part in triathlons and cycling events which were normally a nightmare for me. Yes, I occasionally have the odd flare up but it’s never as aggressive as previously and they are few and far between. I signed up for the year so I still use it nearly every day. Try Nerva-it worked for me!

I was in the worst IBS-D flare up of my life from Jan 2022 until recently, and it’s no small thing to say that this app has literally changed my life. I started this very skeptical, but I was at my wits end after so many doctor visits, medications, days of work missed, etc. I ended up paying for this when I connected the dots that paying to use this app for a year is less expensive than missing two days of work. I can leave my house again without fear, I can see my friends again, I can work again without wondering if I’ll have to leave in the middle of a work day. I won’t say I’m cured, but I would say I’m 80% better after finishing the full 6 weeks. A year ago I was in the ER for having 15+ watery stools in one day and extreme cramps, nausea, etc. Now I can go a whole week with nothing but solid stools, and days where I have no pain at all. I could cry from the relief I feel. There were times I felt like unaliving myself from my IBS being so severe, so I really feel like I owe my life to this app.

The Nerva app has a really nice interface and most importantly it’s all backed up with scientific evidence. It slowly passes on the information and knowledge you need to understand both IBS and hypnotherapy techniques in a really accessible way. I listened to the hypnotherapy audio sessions at night before bed and they must have been good because I always got to sleep about half way through! I wasn’t really paying much attention to my symptoms at all as I’ve learnt to live with it but with retrospect it seems my IBS symptoms have definitely calmed down! I also wanted to mention that the customer care team are very helpful (got back to me even on a bank holiday) and you can even do a trial and request a refund if it’s not for you. For the price of a coffee a week I’d say it’s definitely worth a shot to see if it works for you.

I bought this app reluctantly. It was more than I had ever spent on an app but, after years of struggle and spending thousands of dollars on foods, supplements and doctors, I decided to try it. 

 Before I started, my symptoms were progressing, there was less and less I could eat “safely”, going out to eat with friends often ended with me suffering symptoms for a day or two. My sleep was disrupted frequently. I knew I needed to get my Vagal nerve on line so I could switch my Sympathetic nervous system (STRESS!) off; I had been trying various things for years without success. My life was getting smaller and being uncomfortable was taking up way too much of my time.

So, I bought Nerva.

 After about 2.5 weeks of daily practice, I noticed my symptoms lessening and my sleep improving - both in terms of more deep sleep and more easily going back to sleep if I woke up. That trend has continued.

 Now, well into my 6th week, I am thinking about food much less, I have fewer symptoms, less dramatic symptoms, better ability to cope with “trigger” foods, and am consistently sleeping better.

 I’m more aware of when I am becoming stressed and use the Nerva tools to cope to calm myself down.

 And, FYI, I am completely unrelated to this company — this is just my experience. Nerva has given me back a chunk of my life and I thank them for it.

I had been aware of this app for some time as it’s been advertised to me on social media. I didn’t really buy the whole hypnosis thing, and I thought the price of the subscription was extortionate… which I still stand by to an extent. But, I’m two weeks in and my symptoms have eased so much - even after a few naughty days of too much alcohol/ junk food. I’ve even been able to book a spontaneous holiday. I don’t want to get too excited too soon, but I’ve felt the best I’ve felt in ages and the only change in my lifestyle is this app.

I started nerva six weeks ago. I was not able to manage my IBS very well. Now that I’ve done the six week program my symptoms have calmed down quite a bit and I’m feeling much better. I highly recommend this program. I have more of an inner calm. I’ve noticed I’ve been managing stressful situations much better. And my IBS hasn’t given me any trouble for five weeks. Now that I’m in maintenance I’m gonna continue on. I’m hoping this is going to give me my life back and I’ll be able to go back to travelling and enjoying meals out

I can’t recommend Nerva more highly than the highest 5 stats possible. I know I’m on a journey to better health and control of symptoms- & am grateful for the progress made - & blown away by the caring and thoughtful maintenance programme. I know that more progress is possible for my individual case and I am confident that I’ll get there thanks to the quality of Nerva research, execution and aftercare. I’m do glad to have shared the link with my friends. Thank you !

It’s been nearly two years since I did the program and I only go back to it for occasional flare ups and I’m having my teenage daughters go through the program now. I love the guided meditation feel of the sessions, that I finish feeling relaxed and confident in my progress. I also really love the readings. I wasn’t sure that I’d learn much, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the information presented. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family.

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 have had wonderful success with this app. Nothing relaxes me more or attends to my sometimes debilitating symptoms. I looked forward to my sessions daily. Calming voice, excellent breathing exercises, and the guided scenarios are so vivid in my head. Unfortunately, it has become so expensive. It has been priced this out of any range that I can afford. Paying close to $80 for three months of maintenance when I only use the app occasionally is outrageous. Not being able to access previous sessions, that I paid for, is also not customer friendly. I’m really disappointed because the maintenance program costs more than the original program, but used way less often. I have been a loud cheerleader for this app and have discussed the app with my doctor who was thrilled I had so much success. I have also recommended it to friends. Until it is more affordable, I must find other, less effective ways of managing my symptoms. This is so disappointing and seems like bad business practice. Monthly payments of around $15 would be more reasonable. I can’t in good conscience recommend something to my friends that is so expensive.

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!

I’ve been suffering from IBS symptoms for 6 years. I was initially skeptical of this program but tried it out of desperation. It’s turned out to be the one thing that’s helped me nearly eliminate my symptoms. I no longer have any urgency on my commute to work. So, so grateful! Can’t recommend it enough.

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!

Nerva not only reset my gut, but also my nervous system and fight or flight state that I have been living in since I was a child. This program has been more effective than 6 years of therapy, 5 yrs of meditation and 13 years of dietary changes. Do it! Don’t wait one more minute to change your life forever.

I had been on an ultra low FODMAP diet for over 10 years. When I would eat something with even low FODMAPs, I would experience diarrhea, pain, nausea, and sometimes skin problems. Before Nerva, I would be thrilled to add in three new foods in a year. Within one week of starting Nerva, I was able to add in ~10 new foods. I recently finished the six week program and am beyond thrilled that I am completely off the low FODMAP diet — eating garlic, onion, dairy, going out to eat! For me, it’s felt magical but I love that it’s rooted in science. Oh and I was so happy that my aphantasia (inability to visualize) didn’t interfere at all!

I purchased Nerva subscription before a trip to Europe that’s been causing me anxiety for months. I have tried xifaxan, dietary changes (I’m not great at those), lomotil, OTC anti diarrheals, I thought “what could it hurt?”. Nerva has exceeded all of my expectations. I would not eat out at restaurants, I’d always get food to go and eat cold meals at home after the fact. I do not ride in cars with others (outside of my husband/son) because it’s triggering for me. I avoid getting nails done because I feel “stuck”. I am currently getting. A deluxe pedicure (they take longer, which even on a good day pre Nerva would have never happened ) while writing this review. I’ve got very little anxiety about being here. I have had car rides - short ones - with others and I feel more confident than I’ve felt in ages. Nerva has been truly life altering for me.

I was a little sceptical about hypnotherapy, but it makes total sense regarding IBS. I have eaten garlic and other foods that I haven’t eaten in about 5 years on the low FODMAP diet. I was getting sick of not being able to eat much when going out, having to read packets and being difficult at restaurants. I’m still low FODMAP at home but Nerva has given me wriggle room to eat things I generally couldn’t when I’m out. I can actually feel my gut moving whereas it was pretty stagnant before. Highly recommend!

I don’t usually write app reviews unless I am having difficulty with a user error ;). I have an autoimmune disorder that comes with all sorts of annoying symptoms including food allergies/sensitivities and IBS. I have tried everything to manage the IBS without any sort of long term success. I have finally found relief through this app! It’s so wonderful to be able to hang out with friends and go places without worrying about tummy retaliation! I don’t even have words to describe how wonderful it is to not be in pain and bloated all the time. Thank you!!!!!!! Just…..Thank you!!!!!

This program has helped stop my everyday diarrhea I’ve suffered from for 4 years. The deep breathing exercises have made me feel calmer overall. The hypnosis calms me greatly also. I feel like I have my social life back as I canceled countless events. This program is amazing.

I never really understood the impact my mental health was having on the way I was digesting food. I realized that I developed an eating disorder from having IBS and SIBO that cause me to fear food. The fear would make me go into a state of fight or flight anytime I ate something I was worried my trigger a flare. The guilt about the food alone was causing the worst damage than any other theories about whether certain foods are causing these triggers. This hypnosis App is life changing! Accessing the sub conscious mind and removing that fear. Giving my self permission to eat all food in moderation, is so healing. The energy work and the barriers broken in the app are phenomenal. Every person with digestive issues needs this! I wish there was one for other ailments too!

Great program. I had tried everything with little relief. This program helped me immensely and gave me the most relief I have had in ages. It has given me a whole new perspective and mindset about my symptoms and how to deal with my IBS. I am spreading the word about this program to friends, family and my medical team. THANK YOU!

I’m in week 5 of the program and I’m feeling better already. I love the guided meditation feel of the sessions, that I finish feeling relaxed and confident in my progress. I also really love the readings. I wasn’t sure that I’d learn much, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the information presented. I will definitely be recommending this to friends and family.
