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

Less pain and better sleep

Since using Nerva I feel like my IBS is uner far better control. I have less anxiety surrounding my symptoms and react less. So happy!

Även bra resultat för kronisk migrän

Sedan jag började med Nerva har jag märkt en stor förbättring med migrän. Inte bara har magen lugnat sig utan även migränattackerna. Har gått från att ha runt 25 migränattacker/månad till kanske 3-5/månad sedan jag började med Nerva. Märker direkt om jag slarvar eller glömmer att göra min hypnos, så kommer migränerna direkt efter ett par dagar!

Repetitive and not worth your money

I’ve struggled for several years with stomach issues/ibs and saw so many ads for Nerva and thought I give it a go. It did work well during the trial week and week two, but after that the hypnotherapy sessions are so repetitive each time that I found myself more annoyed at that fact and not feeling any better or seeing the benefits.

The app is expensive and it is, in my opinion not worth it. You can just as well get free meditation/hypnotherapy etc somewhere else.

The readings are all to long and also here, repetitive, with the same information over and over again.

I am really disappointed that it didn’t work and I feel a bit ‘tricked’ into paying for this app. Having IBS is expensive enough. So I would not advise anybody to use it.
