Nerva reviews

I’ve been using Nerva for 3 weeks now and am becoming more aware of the connection between my digestive system and the difficult things that come up for me in relationships and their ties to things that happened in my childhood. Though I was aware of them, the connections are arising in a different way during the hypnosis sessions, making themselves available to attend to in psychotherapy. In the beginning I tended to feel negative feelings during gut directed hypnosis but realized these feelings had not yet been completely digested and just need me to tend to them. So I told myself not to get discouraged but to have compassion for myself. The very soothing voice and the positive affirmations at the end of sessions were also encouraging when this happened. I’m now seeing digestive symptom relief and less reactivity in life in general, which go hand in hand. I don’t have to be as strict about my dietary habits yet don’t have as many flareups. This seems to validate the idea that the stress and fears about what I should and shouldn’t eat were part of the problem. I’m not abandoning healthy eating; I’m just not letting it rule my entire life.

I was a bit skeptical about the program at first, but it was recommended to me by my dietician so I was hopeful it would help with my symptom management. I’ve completed the first 6 weeks and did daily sessions the entire time. It felt a bit annoying at times, but I stuck with it and was consistent, and that paid off. My symptoms reduced by about 65-70%, which I’m extremely pleased by. Mentally, I feel a lot more in control and less stressed and anxious about eating, going out and about, and spending time with others when food is involved. A side effect to this that has been really cool is that my general anxiety has gone down as I’ve been able to apply the learnings I’ve gained to other areas of my life. I feel a lot more resilient and confident that I can bounce back from whatever is causing me stress. As far as I’m concerned, the only negative is that I didn’t try this sooner. This app is a life changer and I highly recommend it!

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 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.

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 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.

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.

After having so much trouble with gut health I was willing to try anything. I am a coeliac and am lactose intolerant so have been on a keto diet for years and loved it. When these IBS symptoms flared up and my health providers said to go on the LOW FODMAP diet I cried. I couldn’t eat anything in my normal diet. I struggled big time for months. I had never tried hypnotherapy or really considered it an option but after 4 weeks of using the Nerva program my IBS symptoms are 80% gone. I am still not eating the big triggers like onion or garlic, but outside of that I’m eating normal again. Just give it a go, you’ll be surprised!

This program has really worked for me, a sceptic! I no longer rely on Imodium when I leave home. So simple, but so effective I eat a healthy diet, no longer avoiding high fibre foods and am comfortable in company. Thank you to the dietitians who recommended the program to me. And thank you Nerva for this simple, effective solution to my problems.

I was diagnosed with IBS about 20 years ago and I just suffered through it until my life became less stressful and the symptoms just faded away after a few years. It came back about a year ago and I tried the low-FODMAP diet, which helped initially, but not as much long-term. Nerva, however made a big difference in my more recent IBS symptoms AND reduced my anxiety level as a bonus! I have not needed nearly as much anxiety medication. All of this together makes me a happier and healthier person. I highly recommend Nerva.

I have used Nerva for months now, after using the Monash Univ. FODMAP Guide for a couple years. The Guide taught me a lot. But this Nerva app, which I had little belief in at the start, has totally changed my gut & bowel health for the better. I recommend it unreservedly. Stick with it beyond the 6-week program. That’s where you begin to be comfortable with the routines and develop a practice of health and help for yourself, by yourself.

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 IBD, currently in remission, but deal with IBS symptoms on a daily basis. Since contracting Covid-19 last year, I experienced a terrible long lasting flare up of IBS-C, post-infectious IBS and about half year later got an intestinal parasite. This whole mess of GI illness was a major struggle that left me with the worst IBS of my life. Ultimately, this all led me to the discovery of this app (thanks to my dietician). I cannot recommend it enough. Nerva has helped me so much with my daily symptoms of extreme bloating, nightly worsening of bloat and pain. I have a flatter belly with happier digestion and minor symptoms, if any. I cannot believe how well the program works. Due to my chronic issues, I continue to use the app daily despite the program being only 6 weeks with researching showing that is the minimal effective dose, and no requirement to continue. I also appreciate their support team. They are very responsive to any messaging. I only wish you could have an extension of the program to include more weeks with new content and educational reading materials. Hopefully they’ll do some fun updates.

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!

So far this app has been great. I’ve haven’t even completed the first week and already I am seeing more improved movement.. I am also following a FODMAP⚡ diet, which I started about a week or two before using this app. So in combination I think it’s working really good so far. Plus, I am listening to a harmony between the gut and brain meditation on Insight Timer when I go to bed at night. Very happy with my improvement with these three things so far.

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 at first, as I’ve tried everything to do with manipulating my diet and all external avenues. However, after just a few days of consistent listening. There is a sense of calm in my body and things are literally starting to shift and improve. My digestion has been smoother and less trigger symptoms. I will definitely continue with them program and see the ends results.

I’ve dealt with IBS, SIBO and gut hypersensitivity for years. I’ve tried everything from an elimination diet, low FODMAP, supplements and prescription drugs but nothing has given me relief for more than a few months. I’ve put off hypnotherapy and meditation because it felt too time consuming but then after a month long “flare” I decided to give Nerva a try. I am still in the beginning stages yet my gut already feels different and I am eating a wider variety of food with no problem. I expect my results to get better and better. I have been very committed to listening to the sessions sometimes twice a day and reading all the coaching lessons. I also started deep breathing throughout the day. I believe that is the key-100% commitment to listening and practicing everyday.

For more than 30 years, I have had worsening GI symptoms that defied treatment. I found this program when I was searching for something that could help. It, along with a low FODMAP diet, has given me more relief than anything I’ve ever tried. I’m a grateful believer.
