RICHARD Nikoley, is the creator and resident blogger at Free the Animal.com, which talks about how to free yourself to reach your best potential in all areas of life: heath, fitness, finances, social interaction, and how you think about all of them.

Richard is also an author of the book, guess what? Free the Animal: How to lose weight & fat on the paleo diet, available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. We are thrilled to hear his story as we take him back to his journey when he first started living the Paleo Lifestyle.
