The root cause of IBS = The gut-brain axis
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.”

“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
People with IBS have visceral hypersensitivity which means their gut-brain axis is more sensitive to triggers such as food and stress compared to people without IBS.
While most strategies focus on removing triggers, gut-directed hypnotherapy is effective because it targets the root cause.
In a randomized controlled trial, 81% of people reported clinically significant improvements in managing pain, diarrhea, constipation, and bloating [1].
Over 300,000 people have successfully managed their IBS with Nerva
IBS is classified as a disorder of gut-brain interaction (DGBI), meaning it’s caused by a miscommunication between the gut and brain. This disrupted connection affects digestive function, often leading to symptoms like pain, constipation, and diarrhea.
When the gut and brain fail to communicate properly, the body can misinterpret normal digestive processes as pain or discomfort. This heightened sensitivity, known as visceral hypersensitivity, can make the gut more reactive and contribute to IBS symptoms.
Over 14,000 healthcare practitioners recommend Nerva for IBS
Nerva helps you understand your triggers and gives you the tools to address them
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.”
