Ben Napier, known for his role on HGTV’s “Home Town Takeover,” is opening up about his impressive 95-pound weight loss over the past three years. In a recent appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show” in March 2025, alongside his wife and co-star Erin Napier, Ben shared the motivating factors behind his health journey.
Ben revealed that his decision to lose weight was initially sparked by concerns about his high blood pressure. He also underwent shoulder surgery in 2023, which played a significant role in his physical transformation. Reflecting on the experience, Ben explained, “They wanted to put me on blood pressure medication. And then I had shoulder surgery. It’s amazing how quickly you lose weight when you can’t lift weights—it’s mostly muscle.”
Erin, who has supported Ben throughout this process, emphasized that she never pressured him into the lifestyle change. Instead, she highlighted his self-motivation: “He was really super self-motivated to do it. I just want him to be alive as long as I am, and I want him to be there for our daughters,” she shared, referring to their two young daughters, Helen, 7, and Mae, 3.
In a previous conversation with Entertainment Tonight in November 2023, Ben explained that his health journey began in earnest in 2022. “We’re all trying to be healthier. We’re trying to live longer,” he said, reflecting on the lifestyle changes he made.
Ben’s new routine includes yoga, which he prefers as his main form of exercise. In their March 2025 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Erin added that her husband also practices intermittent fasting. She humorously remarked that Ben has developed a passion for gardening, saying, “He built this huge garden at the farm, and now he wants to eat just what we grow.” Erin jokingly added, “He’s becoming a little crunchy. He’s turned into an 80-year-old man who is really into gardening.”
Though Ben expressed his intention to continue his weight loss journey, he declined to share a specific target goal. However, Erin was proud to support his commitment, noting on social media that Ben became “hardcore about his health and fitness” ahead of his shoulder surgery in early 2023. “He got serious about lowering his blood pressure and sleeping better,” she wrote in an Instagram post, celebrating his success in achieving his health goals.
Through his journey, Ben Napier has shown a dedication to improving his health and lifestyle, inspiring others to prioritize their well-being in the process.
