Skateymac,

“Nerva rewired my Vagus Nerve communication. Now my gut talks to my brain in a way that doesn’t signal panic. I can cook and eat normal again. I can go to restaurants. I haven’t had a panic attack in months. It was well worth the money.”

“As a healthcare professional, I find it helpful to be able to ‘prescribe’ focused time and attention for the ‘rest and digest’ nervous system, which ultimately helps clients to find balance in their busy lifestyles. Gut-directed hypnotherapy simply just makes sense – especially having the app to use at any time of day”

Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counsellor, Satisfy Nutrition

Dr. Shamistra Barathan

"While I’ve been aware of gut-directed hypnotherapy for many years, I was happy to stumble across the Nerva app as it’s so hard for patients to receive in-person therapy like this because it’s expensive, waiting lists are long, and often patients need help much quicker.”

Integrative Health GP, Mint Holistic Healthcare Clinic

“Working as a dietitian in the gut space, I am frequently referring clients to the Nerva program. It is great to have a trusted and easily accessible option for clients to address the gut-brain axis as part of a well rounded treatment approach to IBS.”

Gut-directed hypnotherapy:
A breakthrough in IBS management

Dr. Simone Peter’s groundbreaking study at Monash University reveals: gut-directed hypnotherapy works just as well as the gold standard low-FODMAP diet in helping you manage IBS symptoms.1

People with IBS have visceral hypersensitivity which means their gut-brain axis is more sensitive to environmental triggers such as food and stress compared to people without IBS.2

While most strategies focus on removing triggers, gut-directed hypnotherapy is effective because it targets the root cause. It acts like a technician that recalibrates the internal alarm system so that the brain and gut no longer send the false alarms which cause flare-ups.

Over 300,000 people have successfully managed their IBS with Nerva 

Did you know IBS is now classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI)?

This means the root cause of IBS is a miscommunication between the gut and brain via the gut-brain axis.

When messages between the gut and brain are missed or misinterpreted, this can lead to gut pain, constipation, diarrhea, and other IBS symptoms.

Over 6,000 healthcare practitioners recommend Nerva for IBS

89% of Nerva users have seen better symptom management using GDH3

These are some of the benefits our users have seen after 6 weeks of Nerva

LisaTheWonderTherapist,

“This program is so worth trying. It took four and a half weeks and then was like a miracle. My bowels are working normally for the first time in my life! Even better I am back to eating most of the foods I have considered trigger foods. Things I thought I would never eat again.”

“Nerva has exceeded all of my expectations. I would not eat out at restaurants. I avoid getting nails done because I feel “stuck”. I am currently getting a deluxe pedicure (they take longer, which even on a good day pre Nerva would have never happened) while writing this review. Nerva has been truly life altering for me.”
