What if better patient outcomes didn’t require more medication, longer visits, or complicated protocols, but instead helping the nervous system feel safe?

In this episode of the Cash Practice Solution Podcast, host Dr. J sits down with licensed professional counselor Luke Dale to explore Somatic Experiencing, a body-oriented approach to healing that’s transforming mental health care, chronic disease management, and patient outcomes in cash-based medical practices.

This conversation goes beyond traditional talk therapy to examine how stress, trauma, and the nervous system directly impact inflammation, digestion, pain, and long-term healing. You’ll learn why integrating mental health into primary care isn’t just helpful it’s essential for faster, more sustainable results.

• What Somatic Experiencing is and why it creates rapid, lasting change

• How the polyvagal nervous system affects stress, anxiety, inflammation, and chronic illness

• Why mental health belongs inside primary care and cash practices

• A simple somatic regulation exercise you can use immediately

• How trauma and stress are stored in the body, not just the mind

• Why patients feel safer addressing mental health in a cash-based care model

• How holistic, mind-body care improves outcomes and practice growth

Dr. J also explains why cash practices are uniquely positioned to lead the future of medicine free from insurance barriers, coding limitations, and administrative friction allowing clinicians to apply what truly works.

Better outcomes lead to better practices.
Faster healing leads to sustainable growth.
