Save your pitch for someone with a weaker filter for nonsense.

Attacking other users like this will get you banned on HN. No more of this, please, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are.

If you're interested in our science, here's the RCT our app is based on: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/apt.13706

I might be a bit sceptical about the benefits of a hypnosis app, too, but you're being unnecessarily harsh. It's not like hypnosis itself as a phenomenon is automatically nonsense. It attracts people who are into woo, so there's probably lot of nonsense being thrown around, but AFAIK the phenomenon is real and has been used with some success.
So maybe don't buy all the hype, but from your comments I get the vibe that you automatically dismiss the whole thing because of the h word. That's not necessarily right either.
We work with respected doctors and researchers and are evidence-focused (Nerva is based on an RCT and we're in the early stages of our own study).
I do think our website is pretty respectable: https://www.mindsethealth.com
