About Cate Collings, MD,
MS, FACC, FACLMMD

As a physician, executive coach, and educator across various health fields, I empower you with the knowledge, tools, and support to help you manage or reverse the trajectory of conditions you may have been diagnosed with or are at risk for.

As past president and long-term board director of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), I have been instrumental in guiding the organization’s key initiatives, driving its significant growth, and expanding its influence on the main stage of American healthcare.

A lifelong learner with over 45 years of experience in cardiology, lifestyle medicine, exercise physiology, culinary arts, and digital health, I integrate diverse knowledge into my role as an executive health coach and strategic advisor.  

Throughout my demanding career, I have navigated challenges such as work-life balance, and burnout, finding fulfillment in human connection and creativity. When focused on coaching, I partner with clients to address their unique needs, combining my extensive professional expertise and personal experiences to help them achieve their goals. My coaching is rooted in collaboration, service, and measurable results.

As a strategic advisor, I also leverage my expertise in reshaping modern healthcare to serve as a leading advocate for health-focused leadership and the implementation of transformative Lifestyle Medicine 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.
