Nerva: IBS & Gut Hypnotherapy

Nerva is the easiest way to self-manage your IBS symptoms at home, without pills 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.
