12:36 29 November, 2025In a new episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian shared unexpected results from a recent brain examination. The 45-year-old star underwent a scan with Dr. Daniel Amen — the same specialist who previously evaluated Khloé Kardashian and Kendall Jenner.
Kim arrived at the appointment with Scott Disick and admitted she was curious to “see how her brain works.” At first, everything sounded reassuring: the doctor told her she was not at increased risk for Alzheimer’s and did not present signs of stress, anxiety, or depression. “You’re an incredibly positive person,” Amen noted.
But the checkup took a surprising turn. The scans showed areas of “reduced activity.”
“The front part of your brain is functioning at a lower level than it should,” the doctor explained. “This level of activity makes it harder to manage stress — which matters, especially since you’re studying and preparing for the bar exam.”
Kim was stunned: “That just can’t be right. I can’t accept that… No.”
Dr. Amen added that such patterns may be linked to chronic stress, particularly during her intense preparation for the California bar exam. He suggested creating a recovery and workload-adjustment plan.
Notably, just a week earlier in another episode, Kim told her sister Kourtney that a full-body Prenuvo scan had revealed an aneurysm that “has been in her brain for many years.” “They said everything is fine, but I do have an aneurysm. It’s been there for a long time,” she admitted.
Doctors say there is no immediate danger, but Kim remains under observation — and, judging by her reaction, she plans to take her health more seriously going forward.
