Nerva reviews

I am in the middle of Week 3, and have had a great experience and significant improvement in my symptoms. I am a woman in my early 50’s, had an IBS diagnosis in my 20’s, but it wasn’t a big deal and with minor diet and lifestyle change, disappeared basically for 30 years. With hormonal changes and some significant life stress, it came back in a much worse way about 2 years ago. It impacted my life on a day to day basis. I had abdominal cramping, urgency, very unhappy with the consistency of stuff, etc. I felt nauseous waking in the morning. Trying to travel and sit through meetings for work and do workouts like this was horrible. My anxiety went through the roof and insomnia was constant. It was definitely a cycle. I saw a Gastro, who ultimately diagnosed SIBO, and I took antibiotics. They helped, but did not resolve my symptoms. I was determined to do whatever I could to heal. I retained a dietician; did FODMAP, got the Monash App on my phone, lost 10 pounds (I was a size 4, now back to my normal 2), tried to identify trigger foods (couldn’t really) started psychotherapy for the anxiety; switched from Ambien (which was making my wakeful anxiety worse) to Xanax when I needed it; continued yoga, started daily meditation and journaling. In February, I consulted a functional medicine doctor and started a program to re-balance my flora—after identifying that I had a Citrobacteria overgrowth— with probiotics. That helped significantly, but I still woke with urgency and still was not happy with consistency. I would still have days of cramping. Within 2 days of starting this program, the urgency slowed and then stopped. It was amazing!!!! And has not returned since!!! Also, the consistency is the best it has been through this entire journey. 4 days out of 7 this week I would describe it as perfect! The other 3 were normal, but I’m a perfectionist so didn’t score them a 10. Lol. But seriously, this seems to have been a game changer for me, and I want to thank you so much! I only hope that my success is as thorough as your studies have shown and continues as they suggest. THANK YOU!!!💕

I was very surprised by how effective hypnotherapy is for managing my symptoms and the chronic pain associated with IBS. I was dealing with a stressful time, experiencing severe daily abdominal pain that impacted both my productivity and quality of life. The ongoing symptoms in turn made me more stressed and anxious - it was a stress-symptom cycle. I had tried the low FODMAP diet and was becoming desperate to ease my symptoms. I decided to give the Nerva programme a chance and I’m so glad I did. Within the first week my daily abdominal pain and discomfort had eased and was manageable. By week 5 I’d almost forgotten about my IBS symptoms completely. I feel like I have my life back. It’s important to remember that the programme is a not a cure for IBS but a management tool. I do still occasionally get discomfort (brought on by stress or lifestyle changes) but the debilitating pain and other symptoms are no longer running my life. In terms of the cost of this app - I can understand why people are irritated it is not free when it is a relatively new app etc. My view is that Nerva has been created by expert specialists in the field and the quality of the hypnotherapy recordings are high. Hypnotherapy is not a cheap treatment face-to-face and considering the convenience offered by this app (and the constant support received by the Nerva team), in my opinion, it is good value for money and 100% worth the cost, if like me you are desperate to manage your IBS symptoms and get your life back.
