Kris Jenkins

Kris grew up in Bountiful, Utah, where he was an active athlete involved in multiple sports and training programs. His passion for fitness, nutrition, and overall wellness started young and continues to drive his approach to health today.

He has spent the last 16 years serving as a firefighter and paramedic for Salt Lake City. While working full-time on the frontlines, he earned his Nursing Degree and went on to work in the Cardiac Cath Lab, assisting in critical, life-saving procedures. Always pushing himself further, Kris earned his Nurse Practitioner degree in Family Practice and later served in the Emergency Room as an NP.

When the pandemic struck, Kris stepped up once again, working in New York City to provide care in one of the hardest-hit areas. His experiences deepened his passion for medicine and for supporting the brotherhood of first responders who put their health on the line every day.

Forge was born out of that mission—a clinic designed to meet the unique needs of first responders and hardworking men and women who refuse to settle for the broken, reactive healthcare system. Kris continues to advance his education relentlessly, seeking out the most effective treatments and solutions to bring healthcare down to the cellular level, where real change begins.
