Built by clinicians.
Driven by purpose.
With nearly 30 combined years of clinical practice across specialties, Bri and Kitty were drawn to longevity medicine after witnessing a healthcare system largely designed to treat disease once it appears rather than prioritize its prevention. At the same time, the time available with patients continued to shrink, making it increasingly difficult to address the lifestyle, behaviors, and root contributors that shape long-term health.
Forged Wellness & Co. was built to offer a different kind of care — one centered on time, proactive prevention, personalized guidance, and a functional, whole-person approach to lifelong health.
Brianna Lui, MS, PA-C
Bri holds graduate degrees in Physician Assistant Studies and Exercise Science, giving her a unique foundation in both clinical medicine and human performance. She is a published researcher in exercise physiology, completed a fellowship in Precision Medicine, and is certified in women's health coaching.
Over more than 11 years in clinical practice, Bri has worked in neurology, sleep medicine, ENT, primary care, and orthopaedic surgery, including years as a first assist in the OR specializing in foot, ankle, and sports knee. That diverse experience showed her how adaptable the human body is, and what happens when the underlying drivers of health are overlooked. It shaped her belief that lasting health comes from addressing those root causes, helping patients stay stronger, healthier, and more capable long before disease or age-related decline takes hold.
Bri combines her background in medicine, exercise science, and precision medicine to help patients optimize their healthspan. She's passionate about using data, lifestyle interventions, and personalized care to prevent disease, build resilience, and help people stay active, strong, and thriving for years to come.
Outside the clinic, Bri enjoys everything the Missoula outdoors has to offer. She also founded The Dusty Bandita, an all-women's gravel bike race created to empower women and build community through endurance sport - a reflection of the same passion for strength, resilience, and human potential that she brings to every patient.

Kathleen Racicot, PA-C
Kitty has spent 15 years operating at the sharp end of surgical medicine. Trained at Pacific University and forged in the trauma bays of Portland's Legacy Emanuel Hospital, she built her career across general surgery, orthopaedic trauma, and joint replacement — including years in clinic and as first assist in the operating room.
Kitty understands recovery, resilience, and what the body is capable of when given the right support. Watching patients arrive injured and leave restored convinced her that proactive care — not reactive treatment — is where the real work happens. That conviction drove her into functional medicine and longevity care, where she helps patients decrease chronic disease burden and take ownership of their health.
As COO, Kitty brings operational rigor and clinical depth to everything Forged does. She lives outside Missoula with her family and spends her off hours on the trail, the golf course, and wherever the next adventure takes her.
