Description

Nerva is the easiest way to self-manage your IBS symptoms at home, without symptom tracking or diet change. Developed by experts, Nerva can help you learn to 'fix' the miscommunication between your gut and brain with a 6-week psychology-based program.

Nerva uses a proven psychological approach to IBS: gut-directed hypnotherapy. Examined in a study at Monash University (creators of the low FODMAP diet), this approach was found to work just as well as their elimination diet for managing IBS*.

How does it work?

Most people with IBS have visceral hypersensitivity, which means their gut is overly sensitive to certain foods and mood triggers. Nerva can help you learn how to address this miscommunication through audio-based gut-directed hypnotherapy.

What you get:

- An evidence-based hypnotherapy program designed by a world-leading expert to help you live well with IBS and learn to manage your symptoms
- Interactive content with dozens of articles, guides & animations that help you learn to calm anxiety & stress
- Intuitive streak tracking & to-do lists that keep you motivated and on-track
- Tips & advice on how to enjoy a healthy gut and life
- In-app chat support from real people

“I have been using this app for 2 weeks now and have already started seeing results. The sessions are really high quality and the bite size readings each day have been really helpful. It takes some discipline to make sure I do it everyday but I would highly recommend giving it a go.” - Nerva member

”I have done it for 1 week and Im definitely buying the subscription. It really made a huge difference so far.” - Nerva member

Worth the investment

It can look a bit expensive at first but you get the 7 day free trial and it really gives you a good idea. From the first hypnotherapy session I felt a calm come over me, I missed for a long time. I took the 3 months and feel I’m getting more control, less (toilet) stress and my symptoms have improved. Flare ups can happen, it’s not a miracle cure but they are a lot less and I don’t follow any diet whatsoever. It’s helped me a lot, try it !

Abonnement renouvellé pour 140€/an!!!

L’app m’avait prévenu d’un frais de 2,5€ par semaine pour l’utilisation, mais pas que l’abonnement serait annuel !
Ils ont débité après 5 jours d’utilisation 140€ sur ma carte de crédit alors que je voulais simplement tester quelques semaines.
Arnaque …..

Developer Response ,

Hi Marie – apologies for the confusion. Nerva is charged in one lump sum after your free trial expires. Our support team will be available to assist if you'd like to talk further about the matter. You can reach them at nerva@mindsethealth.com.

Too simple and superficial for a paid app.

I have no doubt that there is a link between our brains and our stomachs and intestines. For me, unfortunately, the stories are too repetitive, simplistic and boring. I have been meditating for years and doing and my breathing exercises every morning. For me this works on a deeper level than cleaning up your garden or clearing the river again.

Developer Response ,

Hi there – thanks for your review and feedback! While Nerva incorporates aspects of meditation into the program, it is hypnotherapy-based. The visualisations (e.g. the gardens and river you mentioned) as essential parts of the therapeutic process and are just as important as the breathing exercises. Please feel free to revisit the program at a later stage if it feels right for you 😊
