Nerva reviews

I am enjoying the daily sessions. I listen to them a few times some days. I am heading into week six, and while my anxiety and other issues haven’t sorted out, my IBS symptoms have improved. I may repeat the 6 weeks after I finish this but will see what the maintenance part looks like.

I have completed the six week Nerva program. My IBS anxiety began to lessen after the first two weeks. For many years I had chronic IBS - D which prevented me from socialising. I followed a strict low FODMAP diet. I suffered symptoms like nausea and I was also constantly looking for toilets, if I deviated from the diet. Now my symptoms are 90% improved. I no longer need to follow the low FODMAP diet except for avoiding gluten, sugar and large amounts of onion. I can also travel without panicking! I have my life back! Thank you!

I have been suffering with IBS and other gastrointestinal problems for 4 years and the Low FODMAP diet has helped with flare ups. Lately I have had a lot of stress in my life, which has exacerbated my IBS so that lots of foods seemed to create pain, bloating and very erratic bowel movements. I signed up to Nerva 7 days ago and so far I have had 4days with no pain, much more regular bowel movements, no bloating and have felt so much more relaxed. Yes just 1 week!!! It feels like a joy to be pain free. I have said yes to some nice long walks and even to a meal out with friends. Roll on week 2.

I have ongoing gut dysbiosis that I’ve been trying to treat naturally. My stress has always been high and I know stress is a cause of illness but didn’t know what to do about it since I already did meditation, exercise, therapy, diet, etc. This app taught me the missing piece- to belly breathe through whatever life throws at me. There’s just no reason not to and when you stop doing so, your intestines, literally full of crap, start to fester! So just. Keep. Breathing! The sessions are better than meditation for me bc they target relaxing the gut and take away the pain there. I have been able to eat small amounts of problem foods with less symptoms, perhaps simply bc I’m not psychologically stressing about it. Or perhaps the hypnotherapy suggestions worked and I’m less sensitive to normal sensations. I can still sense my gut is off (depression and ongoing pain) so I’m going to continue trying other options and may resort to antibiotics. But I feel I have a new life skill that will serve me going forward, and things are continuing to improve so I’m curious to see how it goes!

I’ve been dealing with IBS for 3 years (usual symptoms plus a feeling of heat around my colon after eating or during stress). I tried adjusting my diet, drinking water kefir daily, exercise and nothing truly changed until I tried the program. I didn’t feel immediate effects until mid way through the program. I’m so grateful for this app and for helping me find hope again. Thank you!!!!

I was sceptical when I started Nerva but desperate for something to help.After the first 6 weeks there was little improvement in IBS symptoms. It I felt better in myself so I decided to persevere. Now, after 150 sessions my symptoms are greatly improved and I have been in several stressful situations where I would normally have had a bad flare up. Each time, I have had mild symptoms that have been manageable and I know I will conquer these as my confidence that they need not occur improves. Thank you Nerva!!

The best approach I’ve ever tried. I’m noticing how much stress plays a part in my gut health and how stressed I was and never knew it. So thankful I took a chance on something I knew nothing about and I have no regrets. I intend to finish the course.

I can’t say enough good things about this program. Doctors have been very little help for me. OTC meds have only helped a little. The Nerva app has been an absolute game changer. It took about a week and a half for me to feel any impact and maybe a month before I got the full effects but at that point it made a dramatic difference for me. So be patient. I wouldn’t say I’m “cured” and I do still have stress fueled flareups but my IBS is 80% better now than it was before, less frequent, less severity, and maybe most importantly I now an effective strategy to deal with it when things crop up. I have to confess that it took awhile for me to get my head around how something like this could work but it does make sense. If I created thinking patterns that created stress and fuel my IBS, then I should also have the ability to create new thinking patterns that alleviate the stress and reduce the IBS. Be open minded and change is possible.

I have suffered with anxiety since I was 7 years old. I can’t even tell you how many things I missed out on due to IBS flare ups. Within the first three sessions I noticed significant changes in my mind and body! I feel relaxed, happy and calm. I just finished the course this week. Last weekend I was able to go on a guided motorcycle tour with my husband. I was not familiar with the area at all. I rode for 6 hours, not worrying about where the next stop was and if there was a bathroom available! If you have IBS, you know what a big deal this is! I HIGHLY recommend this app! It is so worth the cost! My world has been changed! Thank you!!

I have suffered with anxiety related IBS for over 5 years now, it got so bad I was struggling to leave the house. Wow… what a difference this app has made, I don’t understand how or why it actually works but it does. I haven’t conquered all my fears but I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere and I feel so much more positive. I have been leaving my house for long periods of time - something that would normally result in a flare up - and I’ve felt fine and positive. I’ve even managed to eat some plainish food out! I know it seems a lot of money but I would 100% recommend this. Maybe try a few free headspace meditation videos on YouTube prior to make sure you are able to fully relax yourself into the meditation (my partner can’t stand them!) if you can then I would take the plunge with this app! The only negative I would say is I really dislike that the sessions moves on even when I haven’t. I went on holiday for a week and don’t use the app every day but I want to complete each session - this means I’m now 3 weeks behind but the app still notifies to tell me “half way through”… “you’ve finished the 6 weeks”. I really hate this and I think for an app aimed at those suffering with anxiety it’s quite anxiety inducing to feel so far behind!

I’ve just finished 6 weeks, managing to do the sessions about 5x per week and my IBS-D has improved significantly. I will say, my IBS is quite linked with stress/anxiety, so maybe that’s why it worked well for me. I’ve tried the FODMAP protocol in full, which didn’t work as well (I couldn’t re-introduce any foods successfully and the restriction just didn’t sit well with me). I’ll be continuing on the maintenance plan because things still aren’t perfect, but I would say they’re 70% of the way there - thank you!

I’ve tried a lot of self help remedies for my IBS and I think this has been the most effective solution. It’s clear to me now that my IBS is triggered more by stress than what I eat. It of course helps to eliminate certain foods from my diet but I noticed that after using Nerva I am able to tolerate a wider range of food which I usually couldn’t in the last 3 years. I recommend Nerva to people with IBS who have stressful jobs or going through a stressful time in their lives.

For over 6 years I have suffered IBS symptoms and tried loads of supplements and diets. Since starting Nerva my life has changed for the better and I no longer have to worry about lactose and gluten, nor do I now have bloating or abdominal discomfort/pain. I have belief in this system and trust that my remaining symptoms will also disappear. I find the app enjoyable to use and effective. The deep breathing is very useful and the voice of the hypnotherapist just perfect!

I have struggled with IBS for many years and have suffered anxiety and stress from living with the unknown of this condition. I follow the MONASH FODMAP Food Guide and have had great results..a definite life changer for me, but Nerva is going one step further and I am very excited to understand the gut brain connection… I feel this is the key for me. Thankyou for all the research that has gone into this program… I am incredibly grateful. I’m excited

Amazing app; it really made a significant difference in my life. I have a lot of anxiety around stomach issues and this app really transformed my thoughts. Even when not using it, my brain would refer to some of the guided scenarios and it would turn down the stress my tummy was experiencing and feel settled.

To anyone suffering from IBS or anxiety…this program actually works! I was in the middle of the worst flare up of my life so far and started Nerva out of a sense of desperation, figuring it couldn’t hurt and that I had nothing to lose. Six weeks later, my digestion is normal AND my anxiety is the lowest it has been in over a year!!

I completed the program a year ago and was shocked how it actually helped me! I can be pessimistic and skeptical and was not convinced of this app, but when you really put the effort in, it actually can help significantly! The biggest way it helped is i no longer get as down on myself when I have a flare up. I would continue the anxiety and stomach pain loop, but Nerva helped to break it. After a few weeks, I found the repetition between the sessions annoying, but they recently changed some of them and I love it so much more I decided to restart the program. I definitely would recommend this to anyone. If you are considering it, just try it. It is super expensive though which sucks, thankfully you can get a doctor (I got my dietician) to recommend it and get a significant discount
