Nerva reviews

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 felt from the beginning that the hypnotic voice is that of a close and trusted friend. I am grateful for her presence in my life. I like the time we spend together. I know that the information I have been given about the response my mind and body will have to the use of the Nerva app indicate it may take time. And truly, I do not feel impatient, but I believe it has already begun to help me. Maybe what has helped most is the familiarity of the format, as I have meditated daily for over a decade now. And another pleasure is just the hope for improving that Nerva offers. I have been to several specialists, I take daily meds, I have been through nine weeks of physical therapy for my diagnosed pelvic dysfunction, and constantly I monitor what I eat. But Nerva has offered me, what seems right now, to be something much more attuned to a natural therapy. Thank you. Now on the 5th week into the Nerva program, I am beginning to have relief from worrying about my condition. I have gradually been more adventurous in my food choices. I have noticed that I have less fear, more acceptance, not just in the area of digestion, but seemingly other aspects of my life.

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’ve tried so many regiments and diets over the years to help with my constipation, bloating and sIBo etc…most have helped a little bit here and there- so I am surprised with how much Nerva helps: a lot! It makes a big difference for me! I have less pain, less bloating etc then ever before. Plus it’s so relaxing and just the break I need each day. Very very happy with this program. Just goes to show the power of the mind!

Nerva has helped my IBS symptoms immensely!! There are foods that I can tolerate now that I couldn’t before starting the program. The customer support from Nerva has also been amazing, responding to email inquiries efficiently and quickly. Highly recommend!!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Best IBS treatment around. I’ve used meditation and dietary changes but this is a stand out method that is simple and effective giving me amazing results even in the free trial period. Well presented and backed by scientific studies every step of the way. Don’t be put off by the word hypnotherapy; I’d never tried it before and it was much like mindfulness only better for body healing. You will gain an understanding and appreciation of the mind-gut relationship over a series of small, easy to follow daily steps that you can fit into your day. It also relieves stress generally. I found it truly life-changing.

I don’t know what else to say but that I’m having fewer episodes than when I did FODMAP. I still avoid a few foods that I know are triggers, but this was much more effective in helping me with my IBS. Fewer episodes, fewer Imodium pills, fewer gas relief pills.

I have had IBS and multiple other chronic diseases for close to 30 years. I’m currently in the best health I’ve been in over those 30 years in part due to Nerva. It is a fantastic program—easy to follow and very helpful. It helped me move into a more manageable long-term eating approach as Low-FODMAP was working for me, but was very difficult for me to stick with over time. Thank you Nerva! Also, I had a great experience with their customer service staff. They were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!!

I was super skeptical about trying “gut-related hypnotherapy”, but after my GI doctor told me “you’ll eventually figure it out” (because none of the medications or low FODMAP diet were helping by IBS-C)… I was feeling rather desperate and on my own. Nerva helped change up what was going on and I went 6 months without any issues after the program. I recently had a set back, so I am starting over again. I don’t mind - I feel more positive after the sessions and it really does help. I would recommend Nerva to any one who has tried lots of IBS treatments without success.

I am absolutely loving the daily hypnotherapy sessions, the length is ideal (15min) and I feel deeply restored. I often practice them 2x a day and it feels like heaven to sink into deep relaxation. I’ve noticed improved BM by the end of week one (I have been actively healing with an intense SIBO protocol and fodmap/SCD diet for 1.5 years … along with singing, nervous system work and therapy, however this app feels like the missing link for daily Practice)

the process is simple but it actually works. the meditations are straightforward. I didn’t always find them all enjoyable or easy but I found them consistently effective. the breathing exercises are wonderful - it’s so helpful having the small animation, it makes it so easy to drop into and maintain strong focus. the daily readings are short and useful. I’m a professor, so would have enjoyed having references so I could follow up and do more reading but I appreciate that a lot of people will be pleased that it’s kept to a low effort without compromising on content. what’s most important, my sensitivities have changed. they really have. dramatically. I’m still cautious around my food triggers, but again and again I find that their impact is minimal, even not-existent. I’ve struggled with IBS for decades, with dreadful, difficult symptoms. it’s hard to believe how much my life has changed because of using this app. I recommend it without hesitation. it really has changed my life.

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.
