Weight Loss Journeys, YouTube Success & Hunting Wives Drama

Episode 3 is here — and it’s a big one! 🎙️

The Hey, Huntersville team (Rachel, Amanda, Kaitlyn, and Jen Canosa) welcome their very first guest: Laraine Durham, a Huntersville local with an incredible story.

In This Episode:

• A Life-Changing Health Journey
  Laraine opens up about losing 50+ pounds — while her husband lost over 100 — thanks to GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide. Together, they launched The Downsized YouTube channel (now over 25,000 subscribers!) to share their experiences, interview doctors, and support others navigating obesity and wellness.

• The Power of Community & Storytelling
  The group discusses the stigma of obesity, the science behind GLP-1s, and how food, fitness, and family all play a role in living healthier lives. Laraine shares practical tips for protein intake, breaking plateaus, and staying consistent.

• Behind the Scenes of The Hunting Wives
  The conversation shifts to Netflix’s hit The Hunting Wives series. The hosts recap Episode 2 — packed with scandals, secrets, and shocking relationships — while Laraine gives a peek into her time as an extra on set at Coyote Joe’s in Charlotte. From casting calls to long filming days, she brings local flavor and fun insider stories.

• Huntersville Life & Real Estate Update
  Rachel closes the episode with a real estate market update, explaining how higher interest rates, increased inventory, and seasonal shifts are shaping opportunities for buyers and sellers. Fall remains one of the best times to buy in Huntersville and the Lake Norman area.
