Life’s Tough Media is proud to announce our collaboration with Dr. Gary Onik, aka “Dr. Hope,” on the launch of his new podcast, Cancer is Tough, but YOU are TOUGHER! A true medical hero and visionary radiologist, Dr. Onik is turning the world of conventional cancer treatment upside down by successfully treating patients whose cancer is considered untreatable.

For the past 40 years Dr. Onik has been using a technique he invented, refined, and taught to doctors around the world called “tumor ablation,” which is particularly useful in treating prostate, liver, skin, lung, pancreatic, breast cancer and cancers of the head and neck. His work has led to a new 4th branch of cancer treatment known as “Interventional Oncology.” Undoubtedly the most important advance in his career, he created a simple way of making a cancer vaccine out of a patient’s own tumor and successfully treated his own terminal prostate cancer using this invention. His latest work, using immunotherapy to treat metastatic cancer, offers hope to those patients with literally no other options.

So why the podcast? With his groundbreaking approaches Dr. Onik has offered hope and a cure to thousands of patients and their loved ones and opened doors in the field of oncology and it’s time the world knows about it!

In this conversational podcast he and his guests explore the intersection of the mind, body and spirit and their relationship to sickness and healing. In a uniquely personal way, he addresses such deep concerns as:


  • Coping with a cancer diagnosis
  • Choosing a treatment strategy that harmonizes with your worldview and life’s goals
  • Grappling with traditional state-of-the-art vs. outside-the-box options
  • Understanding the meaning of cure vs. healing

This podcast offers hope for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.
