IBS is a disorder caused in part by the brain and the gut not communicating as they should; this can lead to abdominal pain and changes in stools.^1,2 The brain and gut are closely connected and can become dysregulated for different reasons; some common causes are infection and stress. Dysregulation can cause normal digestion to feel uncomfortable.³

Brain-gut psychotherapies work by helping your brain learn to better filter out uncomfortable sensations. Your symptoms are not “all in your head.” Some people feel their stress in their stomach, which is called being a “gut responder.” GDH helps to induce a deep state of relaxation and focused attention.³ You might experience pleasant feelings, a sense of tranquility and protection, or a distancing from discomfort and stressors—all of which can normalize gut sensations and help regulate the brain-gut connection.⁴

Regulora includes 7 unique GDH sessions, with each one lasting about 30 minutes. The sessions are completed every other week over the course of 12 weeks.⁵ The application will send you reminders when you have an upcoming treatment session.

Each session can be rescheduled as needed and can be taken within 3 days of the scheduled date. However, after those 3 days, the session is unavailable.

Regulora is cleared by the FDA based on a clinical trial and is regulated as a medical device, so it’s held to a higher standard than other direct-to-consumer wellness apps.⁶ That means it’s not readily available to anyone. A prescription is required to ensure Regulora is the right treatment for you.⁵
