Tina Su

February 23, 2026

Tina Su - Autism Parent Coach - Hi Mama 

What if the diagnosis wasn’t the end of the story?

In this powerful episode, Tina Su shares the raw, behind-the-scenes reality of raising a son diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and epilepsy… and the radical shift that led to remission of symptoms, seizure freedom, and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu championship title.

This is not a polite conversation.

This is about dark nights, broken TVs, no sleep, 24-hour monitoring, seven failed medications… and one message that changed everything.

Tina’s mission is clear: Autism is not permanent.

And parents deserve options beyond symptom management.

🌿 What Tina Teaches

• Healing starts in the gut and nervous system

• Inflammation impacts neurological development

• Brain plasticity is real at any age

• Parental belief and commitment matter

• There is always a physiological reason behind symptoms

• Pressure blocks progress. Play unlocks possibility.

Tina has now worked with over 800 families through her Hi Mama program, supporting children across the spectrum, from nonverbal toddlers to young adults.

This episode is about courage.

It’s about questioning mainstream narratives.

And it’s about shortening the suffering curve for families who feel alone.

If this resonates, trust that nudge.
