Helping executive leaders and professionals balance career demands with personal health and longevity.

Hi, I’m Cate Collings, MD. 

Trusted Cardiologist. Accomplished Exercise Physiologist. Lifestyle Medicine Leader. Dedicated Health Coach.

Balancing a high-profile executive or professional career with a personal life and good health is challenging. I know — I’ve been there. As a top cardiologist and healthcare executive, I once struggled to carve out time for my family while still practicing self-care. As my career grew and my stress level increased, fortunately, so did my knowledge of the latest tools and strategies necessary to achieve true health with a balanced lifestyle. Today, I’m able to take the best of what I know and apply it to help busy people like you.

A coaching relationship can be powerful and life-changing. 

 I support individuals at every stage of their career and retirement, helping them maximize performance, avoid burnout, and plan for a healthy future. 

As your coach, I will help you:

Navigate the aftermath of a health diagnosis with confidence. If you’ve been surprised by a cardiac event, pre-diabetes, diabetes, or other unexpected health diagnosis, you’re likely left with many questions about how to care for yourself moving forward. I provide the guidance and support needed to manage your heart health effectively, helping you regain control and prevent future issues.

Manage the stress you’re currently facing to protect your heart health and avoid burnout. Left unchecked, stress can lead to countless physical consequences. Finding effective ways to mitigate it is key to maintaining health span and vitality.

Understand existing health conditions or your risk for disease. Navigating our current health system is difficult and differentiating medical science from the latest fad takes time. You don’t have hours to research your existing health condition or disease risk, let alone how to manage it. My expertise allows me to present true solutions that preserve your health and empower you to live out your dreams, through your career and beyond.

Realize your dream career and retirement plans – in health. Together, we’ll align your career ambitions and personal goals with sustainable health practices, to ensure long-term success and vitality.

I offer a whole-person approach that helps clients achieve life-changing results and satisfaction. My extensive professional expertise in cardiology, lifestyle medicine, nutrition, exercise, stress management, and coaching allows me to serve each client with personalized assessments and resources, considering their unique medical conditions or life circumstances. My personal experience with a demanding cardiology career gives me insight into the unique challenges and risk for burnout among other healthcare professionals.

Let’s talk. 

Schedule a FREE 60-minute Zoom coaching conversation, no strings attached. We’ll get to know each other and understand if we’re a good match for working together.

I’m different than other health coaches you may have encountered.

As a physician, I provide education on laboratory results, radiology reports, and other medical records, offering insights and knowledge beyond the brief discussions that typically take place during short physician visits. I translate complex medical information into clear, understandable language so my clients are able to truly comprehend their own health condition(s).

My unique expertise in lifestyle medicine and digital health allows me to offer deeper insights into each client’s stress, sleep, and exercise physiology using professional-grade heart rate monitoring, a significant step above consumer-grade wearables.

Following a comprehensive lifestyle assessment and medical review, I curate personalized strategies that profoundly shift my client’s health trajectory. Using positive lifestyle triggers, I help reduce the risk of life-threatening cardiovascular, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and other events, and minimize genetic, medication, and hospitalization burdens, increase healthspan, and enhance quality of life.
