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 in just a few weeks.

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

I honestly feel better

Over the past two weeks I have been doing the Nerva self hypnosis program and am definitely noticing a difference. I don’t know how to explain it, I was trying to tell my husband this morning, I just feel better in myself. I am sleeping so much more soundly now than before as well. The course goes for 6 weeks so will be interesting to see how I feel at the end of it. I had been hesitant to purchase, as there are so many people trying to sell you stuff to help you feel better, claiming to have the miracle cure, and because you are desperate you buy into it. But after doing the trial first week for free and noticing the difference it was making, I decided to give it a go. Also the fact that Monash University is involved in the trials gave me confidence that it was not a scam.

Worked for me 🤷‍♀️

I’ve just finished 6 weeks, managing to do the sessions about 5x per week and my IBS-D has improved significantly.

I will say, my IBS is quite linked with stress/anxiety, so maybe that’s why it worked well for me. I’ve tried the FODMAP protocol in full, which didn’t work as well (I couldn’t re-introduce any foods successfully and the restriction just didn’t sit well with me).

I’ll be continuing on the maintenance plan because things still aren’t perfect, but I would say they’re 70% of the way there - thank you!

Early stages for chronic IBS symptoms

Buuuttttt 🤣🤣 retraining the mind AND gut?? who would’ve thought right? Well it’s made easy and effortless. Despite the distractions i quickly refocus and get back into the hypnotherapy session no matter how many times. I can tell that my sub conscious mind is kicking in and it’s quite relieving to tell the brain to tell the gut that we’re ok and there’s no need to panic even if its not IBS related. Grateful for the education as i start day 5 and i look forward to more rest and digest!!
