I appreciate the informational articles about IBS. I like the hypnotherapy sessions. I do them after breakfast, which has typically been the time I would feel badly. I completed the program and am now using the flare up toolkit a few times each week. I seem to do better the more frequently I use the app. It has helped me pay less attention to my symptoms and to feel calmer about them.

I never want to be without this help. I already feel calmer and wish that I can soon get out of the house without taking medication and I want to drive my car again and go for drives. I love the feeling after hypnotherapy session when I’m simply limp. Thank you Nerva ❤️
I can only repeat my previous statement. You help me a lot even if I still have a way to go. Thank you for your help.❤️

Hello all,
I completed the six weeks of the Nerva program focused on IBS.
I found myself submerged in the suggestions they give. By the end of each session I felt calm, clear minded and felt an improvement in my digestive system.
I also noticed that I have tended to approach life from a slightly calmer perspective. An added bonus!
With appreciation and respect for this program,

I’ve been using the NERVA for 6 weeks now.
I’ve loved the hypnotherapy sessions and after a 2-3 weeks I really noticed the difference in my mood and outlook, it became so much more positive and felt happier like my old self. The repetition of positive affirmations plays a big part in this. Also enjoy the relaxation and breathing techniques which really do work. Sleep was difficult for me, so this has taught me to fall asleep much faster and to use the techniques even while the app is not running. It becomes second nature.
The readings are so insightful and there is so much that I haven’t read in other books or seen on any documentaries - it’s very unique.
The voice in the meditation is so calming and relaxing, well paced, beautiful tone and enjoy the imagination stages of the hypnotherapy.
The NERVA team are highly responsive and supportive. They communicate well through email and respond instantly.
So lucky to have been recommended this App by my dietician and is such amazing value for money.
I hope you try it and benefit too and become more well and feel much better with the knowledge, care and support you will receive too.

I tried to use this app many times but I wasn’t very consistent. Any time I’m trying to use it again I’m using for longer. I love meditation, and any kind of way to expand the mind. I’ve never been consistent but every time I managed to reach a very deep and pleasant state of mind my gut felt better and my evacuation turned back to normal. Every single time. As I like to explore almost everything for mind expansion, I noticed that Nerva app has ‘meditations’ that are very similar to the ones that Jose Silva invented many years ago and that everybody can find for free on internet. As this app is pretty expensive, if you don’t have enough money, know that there are always ways that are for free and you can always heal yourself thanks to people that decided to leave things for free to humankind. I put 5 stars to this app because anyway it’s a very good way to heal yourself if you have money to spend on it and consistency. But remember that the power to heal is already inside you and there are plenty of ways to release the tensions and let your body heal itself, that’s it’s own nature ❤️

I’ve felt improvements already and find the guided hypnotherapy to be helpful. I’m starting to look forward to my sessions.

Man… this actually works! I really wish it wasn’t so expensive, I would keep using it daily, but worth the price to deal with a bad flare.

After 5 sessions my symptoms began to decrease. I am new at it but so far I am very impressed. The educational component is also very additive.

Nerva’s customer support is the best I have ever received, Anne really helped me when I needed to restart the program at no extra charge for me & was very empathetic of my situation. I’m so grateful to be on this Nerva journey & always looking forward to my sessions.
The only thing I’d say is that it’s a bit harder to stay on track than expected, so get a buddy or support system to help you out to continue making progress 🫶

User friendly, achievable daily goals for long term results.
I love how the program explains the rational behind each step it takes you through, so you can understand the bigger picture behind it all. It’s setting you up for long term success, not just a Band-Aid approach. The hypnotherapy is easy to follow…

I love how the program explains the rational behind each step it takes you through, so you can understand the bigger picture behind it all. It’s setting you up for long term success, not just a Band-Aid approach. The hypnotherapy is easy to follow and I’m finding it a lot easier to relax into, given that I have ADHD & trouble focusing. I’ve along just started the program but I’m really enjoying it already.

I can say after using it for a couple weeks it was a great experience. Has helped with my IBS significantly and would recommend to other people. Only downside I see is that it does cost a lot for something that I would be restarting course essentially after 6 weeks. Would still recommend to try it out if you’re struggling with IBS.

I’m a 70% auditory learner 15% visual/kinesthetic and have been noticing my body more. Especially through getting me to notice then start controlling the butterfly’s instead of them fluttering there all day for no reason and giving me dramas for no reason.
I’ve been diagnosed for 1 year.
I’m 40.
CIS Male.
79kg.
Fit looking but not fit.
Bearded.
Married.
Father.
Manager.
Experiencing GOS FODMAP onion / garlic / mushroom reaction from about <1g ingested for over 3 years.
After 9 days of doing every session, I’m noticing my body and controlling my whole self better and bring more self aware and present.
My gut still experiences the same reaction physically but I can now manage to control the pain level in my gut and just register it… not just stress out and react to it which leads to continued spirals which only lead one way… and it’s NOT up.
Nerva Definitely helps slow down my 7/10 (self-rated) ADHD brain too.
I’m all about this system. Thanks Nerva. Thanks for the 7 day trial period too. I decided on day two I would pay it. It was that good for my whole body at just the second time.
Only feedback would maybe be a speed setting. It’s a little slow… but I know that’s the idea. So… not really any feedback, except I’m just saying that I am too impatient and wanted to know what colour the book is in w2ep2. lol.

I wish I had found this ten years ago. I’m an anxious person and I carry it in my stomach, and my “sensitive stomach” turned into full on IBS during the pandemic. I kept thinking I was falling asleep when I used the app and thought it was weird that I kept waking up whenever she prompted it in the dialogue, but now I realize I’m actually going into a meditative state during my sessions. I don’t think about Nerva much, but I think that’s the point. I’ve noticed my flares don’t make me spiral like they used to, and I’m just generally less anxious and my body keeps feeling better and better. If you’re considering using this, DO IT

I wanted to share my experience using Nerva, the guided hypnotherapy app for IBS, and I must say, it has been a game changer for me. As someone who has struggled with IBS for years, and after just a few sessions, I began to notice a significant improvement in my symptoms.
The app is easy to use and the hypnotherapy sessions are very calming and effective.
I highly recommend Nerva to anyone looking for a natural and non-invasive approach to managing their IBS symptoms.
Thank you, Nerva, for creating such a wonderful tool 🙏🏽♥️

I am on day five in using Nerva. I was introduced to Nerva through Diet vs Disease. I used a meditative tool called MUSE for about three years so I was familiar with guided meditation and it’s benefits. But I am already very aware how in using Nerva, I am able to reach a more deep and relaxed state of mind more quickly. The voice of the one who is supplying the verbally guided stages in the hypnotherapy sessions is extremely soothing and trustworthy for me. Thank you, Nerva, for your innovation and enlightenment. Thank you for making this phenomenal tool so accessible to people who genuinely desire to enhance and enrich their physical and mental qualities in living life. I thank the God I believe in for all of this.
I have now completed three weeks in using Nerva. I have stayed steady in daily using this program. I find myself feeling not only more confident, more relaxed, and worrying less about my digestive issues, but I am less stressed and more calm these days.
I am not new to diaphragmatic breathing, but to implement it now in using Nerva feels so right. I have faith in what I am learning and internally processing regarding my health and overall well being. I am grateful for having Diet vs Disease and Nerva as my companions.

I hesitated before buying this app, but it was recommended in the book Regular and I really wanted relief from my issues. I realized it was about the same cost as a doctors visit and was some thing I could do at home. I really like it, and have noticed my guts are so much calmer and happier. I had never done hypnotherapy before and really enjoy taking that time for myself at the end of the day. I’ve been doing it for about a week and I’m looking forward to more.

This programme has helped me immensely, and I would resubscribe. BUT. The price for membership has rocketed, and there is no provision for a discount that I can see, for pensioners like me or health card holders, which is a great pity. IBS is a very harsh condition to live with every day and a cure should not be out of reach for anyone.

The Nerva app has a really nice interface and most importantly it’s all backed up with scientific evidence. It slowly passes on the information and knowledge you need to understand both IBS and hypnotherapy techniques in a really accessible way. I listened to the hypnotherapy audio sessions at night before bed and they must have been good because I always got to sleep about half way through! I wasn’t really paying much attention to my symptoms at all as I’ve learnt to live with it but with retrospect it seems my IBS symptoms have definitely calmed down! I also wanted to mention that the customer care team are very helpful (got back to me even on a bank holiday) and you can even do a trial and request a refund if it’s not for you. For the price of a coffee a week I’d say it’s definitely worth a shot to see if it works for you.

My favorite app of all time, it has changed my life! I went from having flair ups every day/every other day to now barely having any at all! I was in such a depression because of my IBS, and the entire program felt so specifically tailored for me and what I was going through I couldn’t believe it. I just ended my program a few weeks ago and have been doing meditations as an upkeep protocol but not needed every day anymore.
The initial program is absolutely worth every penny and I’m so sad that I can’t afford this app anymore and have ended my subscription. I would love to keep using it since my body is used to the ritual and responds so well. But It’s too expensive for how often I use it now which is only once a week or so. I hope they drop the rate for those who have completed the program, to keep those of us who are simply on upkeep protocol and maybe don’t need access to the vast library of meditations but just a simple few.
Not only has this app worked better for me than anything doctors have been able to do, but it’s saved me money which is a huge plus. But this is still too expensive for me. Will be watching to see if they drop the maintenance price as I would resubscribe in an instant!

5 days in and feeling more in control. Long may this improvement continue.
Week 9, still using every day. Symptoms have improved significantly. Better still is the fact that I’m not feeling as anxious or upset when something makes my bowel ‘go off on one’. These attacks also seem to be less explosive!!
I intend to continue using Nerva regularly.

Questions about Nerva
What the reviews don’t cover.
Does Nerva work?

What do Nerva reviews say about bloating?

Can I use Nerva alongside a low FODMAP diet?
