About Cate Collings, MD,
MS, FACC, FACLM
As a physician, executive health coach, and passionate mentor, I empower clients not just with knowledge but with practical tools, strategies, and support to take control of their health outcomes. My coaching is rooted in connection, collaboration, and measurable results, helping individuals preserve and restore their well-being – so they can thrive in their careers and enjoy the life they’ve worked so hard to build.
As Past President and long-term Board Director of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), and AMA delegate, I have been instrumental in guiding key initiatives that expand the role of Lifestyle Medicine throughout the American healthcare system. I bring a strategic perspective to organizations, leaders, and teams seeking to drive true transformation.
A lifelong learner with over 45 years of experience in cardiology, general medicine, lifestyle medicine, exercise physiology, culinary, and digital health, I blend expert insights and diverse knowledge into my role as an executive health coach and strategic advisor.
Throughout my own demanding career, I have faced the realities of work-life balance, burnout, and the importance of personal fulfillment through human connection and creativity. In my work with clients, I draw not only on my professional expertise but also on my personal experiences to connect with each individual’s unique needs and ambitions, helping them achieve true performance, vitality, and lasting health.
As a strategic advisor, I help organizations reshape modern healthcare, championing health-focused leadership and the implementation of transformative clinical strategies.
During our time together, I hope we will develop a deep understanding of each other as individuals, beyond titles and accomplishments. Beyond my medical degree and career success, you’ll find that:
I value both solitary, reflective time and time spent socializing with friends and family.
I relish meeting new people and exploring other cultures.
I develop and share simple recipes, but rarely make the same recipe twice.
I love the positive energy that comes from brainstorming and helping others succeed.
Volunteering at a horse sanctuary on programs that foster collaboration between humans and horses nourishes my soul and love for vast landscapes.
I take a “personal best” approach in a variety of sports, such as tennis, skiing, cycling, hiking, and weight training to keep my competitive stress tapped down.
