Support your gut from the brain down.

Nerva is an evidence-supported, app-based gut-brain program designed to help people with IBS better manage digestive symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, urgency, and gas.

The program uses gut-directed hypnotherapy, along with CBT-informed education and breathing techniques, to address the communication between the brain and digestive system. Rather than focusing on food restriction, Nerva helps retrain the gut-brain response that can contribute to heightened digestive sensations and IBS symptoms.

What’s Included

• 6-week structured program
• 15-minute guided sessions each day
• Gut-directed hypnotherapy audio sessions
• Short educational lessons about the gut-brain connection
• CBT-informed strategies to support healthier responses to digestive symptoms
• Symptom and progress tracking
• Guided breathing exercises and tools for managing symptom flare-ups
• Continued access to program resources after the initial six weeks

Why We Recommend Nerva

IBS is considered a disorder of gut-brain interaction, meaning symptoms can be influenced by how the nervous system and digestive tract communicate. Gut-directed hypnotherapy is a non-dietary approach designed to help regulate this connection.

Nerva's digital program has been evaluated in clinical research. In a randomized controlled trial, 81% of participants using the program experienced significant improvement in IBS symptom management, with benefits maintained at six months.

Nerva can be especially helpful for people who have already made dietary changes but continue to experience digestive symptoms, or for those looking to complement nutrition therapy without adding additional food restrictions.
