I am blown away by how effective this app is. I was a bit skeptical at first but started seeing results after a couple of weeks of consistent use. I’m on week 6 and have not had any gut issues for the past few weeks and no longer need to be on a FODMAP diet. Just try it!

Brilliant app
Tuned in everyday for the recommended timeframe - has made a huge difference to my symptoms - have suffered for years and tried everything - I now use it for maintenance. I highly recommend giving it a go if you’re willing to persevere.

I liked this for the first week. After that, every session felt as though it repeated throughout each week, week after week. I felt I “knew” what to expect and therefore I couldn’t focus or relax. (In fact I took much longer to complete the entire program because I resisted and skipped sessions.) Then I noticed my stomach was starting to “rumble” as if it were coming alive or becoming attentive to each session. I genuinely felt calmer and as if I missed the “programing” (without being conscious of just what was happening) that was taking place in my gut and brain. My IBS-C began to “loosen up” and I felt less nervous about food and bloating and gas. I felt less reactive about incidents or small recurrences of IBS. When the program ended I was bad at keeping up. And then I noticed again I felt “off” and now I am doing sessions a few times a week and feel better. If you’re like me and get restless or clever at the beginning, please try to keep an open mind and allow the phrasing and repetitiveness to sink in and don’t think so much as I did!

I’ve now completed four days of the Nerva program. I have noticed that there has been at least a 25% improvement. I do feel that I have a lot more control in undoing stomach pains so that I don’t have to run to the bathroom. And I have a lot of confidence that this program will actually, improve it 100% by the time I’m done.
I’m now three weeks into the program and I have found that my stomach starts to hurt but I’m able down and eventually when I do get to the bathroom I no longer have issues so looking forward I’m hoping that I am able to stop the pain and a little bit of the urgency.

I have battled IBS, anxiety and heartburn for decades. Nothing worked. I was suffering from yet, another IBS flare up when I discovered Nerva. Within a week, I started to feel better. I stayed with the program for the entire six weeks and I no longer have bathroom issues. Plus, my sleep problems are starting to go away. When I wake up at 3:00 am, I turn on Nerva and listen to an older session. That’s all it takes to get me to fall back to sleep. In the past, I would be awake for 2 hours! I highly recommend Nerva.

I highly recommend this program. It is worth every penny! It gave me real tools to calm myself and learn how I can improve my health by using this meditation - and I’m someone who normally has a lot of trouble being still. I started having more good IBS days than bad when using this program. I intend to keep using this technique to help myself.

Just 5 days of this program and already experiencing better regulation of overactive GI activity. With nearly 30 yrs of experience with my IBS, I realize it is also cyclic. But during self hypnosis I truly feel the letting go of any resistance or doubts and am rewarded with deep relaxation and beautiful visualizations. Time will tell but right now I do see the link between this experience and improved ‘flow’ in just 5 days.

I can’t say enough good about this this therapy and the delivery via this app. After being diagnosed with IBS-D and while waiting to be scheduled to see a dietitian, I investigated the FODMAP food lists. I was becoming increasingly worried that I wouldn’t have the self discipline to follow the food restrictions, adding to my anxiety. One of the FODMAP apps had a link to Nerva. After doing some investigation, I decided to try the one week trial. I liked the therapy during the trial and I signed up for the full six week programme. I am now on the maintenance schedule, also through the app. My IBS symptoms have subsided to such a degree that I cancelled my long awaited appointment with my dietitian. As well, I have informed my doctor and the dietitian about the success I’ve experienced. I’m back to trusting my body again.

I was very skeptical at first after 30+ years with IBS symptoms & FODMAP issues but I started to notice improvements in the first week and after 6 weeks I can confirm this program is unbelievable and has changed my life. I cannot easily be hypnotised but still received the benefits so don’t worry about that side of things. A million thank you’s to the creators xx

This is my first week using Nerva Hypnosis. I started with doubts, having spent my whole life coping with IBS-D and searching for relief. I am an 84 year old retired trauma Informed mental health counselor. I am also a complex trauma survivor. During this first week I am noticing subtle changes in my conscious awareness of tension in my body and in my outlook on life. I am using breath many times during the day to relieve tension. I am also feeling a fragile sense of hope that I could feel better living with this body for the rest of my life❣️

I’m 65 years old and have struggled with IBS and anxiety my whole life. I am a dietitian and have tried every dietary modification I could find with modest results. Nerva gave me the missing piece I’ve been looking for—teaching my brain how to effectively communicate with my gut. I am feeling much better and confident this tool will help me stay on track. Thank you, Nerva!!

2 years of stressing about my gut and now I’m finally getting some relief
I’m 5 weeks in to the Nerva program. I have fewer symptoms, even though I’m eating what I want, compared to when I was trying to restrict my FODMAP intolerances (lactose, fructans). I feel excited about food again!

Hypnotherapy of gut
Helping me learn more about the connection between mind and gut. Hypnotherapy is calming. Hoping to get reduction in symptoms. Seems my lower track is responding slowly but upper track is still very active.

For me, Nerva helped my body to shift on day 5 and has improved steadily since then. It’s a game changer for steadying my gut, slowing my mind and overall calmness. Do it.

Very helpful
It took quite a while, but the deep breathing techniques and meditations have really helped my chronic diarrhea. It did take me over six weeks, but I keep at it and, my goodness, things have changed for the better!

I didn’t have a lot of faith that this app would have any impact. I’d been dealing with IBS for decades and have tried everything. I’d all but given up. Then a friend tried it on recommendation by her doctor and was having great results. Within 3 weeks of daily use, I started to notice my anxiety and symptoms were dissipating. By 6 weeks, I felt cured. The biggest difference I noticed is that my anxiety about IBS was (is) totally gone. I don’t stress out about bowel issues all anymore and I have so much less pain. This app has changed my life. I’m kind of blown away. And very grateful to the creators. Absolutely worth the price!

This is a 6 week program that leads one on a journey, or adventure, of discovery of the causes of IBS, and provides tools for dealing with and even conquering one’s IBS. There is always someone available to answer your questions via email. They respond very quickly to your needs. As I write this at 2310 at night, 27 April 2024, I had sent a request to Nerva for some help. Within a very short period of time, Devina from Nerva responded to my question with very helpful information. Please realize that it is a positive adventure, and these journeys take time and commitment to complete successfully. Each short session is a mini-adventure into conquering your IBS issues. At the end, you can create your own adventure of maintenance and even repeat the whole six week program. It only takes 20 to 25 minutes a day out of your hectic schedule.
