mBIOTA Labs Partners with LyfeMD to Improve SIBO & IMO Care for Canadian Patients

The partnership improves knowledge of SIBO and IMO, accessibility of mBIOTA Elemental Diet with nutritional support across Canada.

Santa Monica, Calif., March 3, 2026 – mBIOTA Labs, an emerging medical food company revolutionizing medical nutrition for the management of gastrointestinal (GI) conditions, today announced a strategic partnership with LyfeMD, a virtual clinic providing evidence-based lifestyle programs for people living with gastrointestinal conditions in Canada. The partnership increases patient access in Canada to mBIOTA Elemental Diet, a clinically proven and trusted GI management solution, and nutritional support after the protocol via LyfeMD’s team of dietitian specialists. 

mBIOTA Labs will work closely with LyfeMD providers to expand clinical knowledge and recommendations of palatable elemental diets and Low Fermentation Eating based on the latest research findings. The collaboration emphasizes a growing global recognition of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) and the progress made to provide patients with better management options. Ultimately, this partnership will drive better outcomes for patients by providing longer-term care support and remission maintenance through diet. 

“Our team identified a need to offer patients an elemental formula that was both clinically appropriate and easy for them to consume,” said Lorian Taylor, RD, PhD, CEO of LyfeMD. “mBIOTA Elemental Diet fills this gap and more. mBIOTA has invested meaningful time in educating our dietitian team on the safe and effective use of mBIOTA Elemental Diet, as well as the Low Fermentation Eating diet to support sustained relief for patients, which will not only equip our team with more care options but empower our patients to feel better sooner and longer.”

“LyfeMD and mBIOTA Labs have a shared mission of advancing patient care with solutions that have demonstrated efficacy and are backed by published evidence,” said Nicola Wodlinger, CEO of mBIOTA Labs. “mBIOTA Labs is committed to improving the quality of life of patients living with debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms and working closely with GI dieticians at LyfeMD will enable patients in Canada to receive the support they need.“
