Nerva: Brain-Gut IBS Therapy

Fix the miscommunication between your gut and brain. Nerva is a personalized brain-gut therapy program that helps calm IBS symptoms at the source. It adapts to your needs, is backed by clinical research, and is trusted by providers.


Target the root cause


IBS often feels like it’s caused by food. In many people, the underlying problem is visceral hypersensitivity - when gut nerves become oversensitive. Foods high in FODMAPs can ferment and produce gas that presses on these nerves, sending false alarms to the brain. Stress can trigger the same miscommunication, creating a cycle of pain, bloating, urgency, constipation, or diarrhea.


How Nerva helps

Nerva guides you through a structured brain-gut therapy program that retrains this miscommunication so symptoms feel less intense over time. You’ll use short daily sessions, practical flare-up tools, and a long-term plan to keep progress steady.




Tailored to you


No two guts are the same. Nerva adapts your program to your symptoms, triggers, and progress - using AI to adjust the coaching and guidance as you go. The sessions, the tools you receive, and the coaching you follow are all shaped around your experience.


Evidence-based

Unlike most apps, Nerva is built on clinical research. In a randomized controlled trial at Monash University, Nerva helped 81% of people significantly manage their IBS symptoms. Since then, more than 300,000 people have used Nerva, and over 11,000 healthcare providers recommend it.

Who is the team behind Nerva?


Nerva was built by Dr. Simone Peters, GI psychophysiologist, together with clinicians, dietitians, and researchers. Many of us live with gut conditions ourselves. We built Nerva to target the root cause - the miscommunication between the gut and brain.
