Elmer Bernard is the founder and CEO of SIBO Clinic Canada, a private breath testing facility located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, specializing in SIBO breath testing and interpretation.

Elmer has studied health and nutrition for more than 20 years, with specific focus on the microbiome. He has achieved Functional Medicine and SIBO certifications, and is currently enroll in the Functional Medicine Health Coaching program (FMHC) which is recognized internationally. He is highly experienced in breath test analysis.

Elmer, an avid athlete and outdoor enthusiast, has a passion for weight training and healthy living. Eight years ago, things spiralled out of control when he started to suffer from debilitating digestive issues. Frustrated and unable to find the answers or support he needed, his journey into the world of SIBO began. He quickly discovered he was not alone in his symptoms or frustration and that wait times for SIBO testing were at least a year, sometimes longer.

Elmer felt the wait times were unacceptable and he was determined to do something to change it. He decided to step away from a lengthy career in the finance industry to focus his full attention on helping other people who suffer with SIBO.

Through SIBO Clinic Canada, Elmer provides a detailed, timely analysis of results, as well as unwavering support and clear direction to clients. Clients then work with a practitioner to find proper protocols that will ease symptoms and regain health.

After overcoming his own battle with SIBO, Elmer now enables others do the same, not just as a testing facility, but as a much needed support system as well.
