After a brain aneurysm diagnosis, reality star and business mogul Kim Kardashian followed up on her health. The scene played out on Season 7, Episode 6, of Hulu’s The Kardashians. On the show, Kim visited her doctor with Scott Disick, her sister Kourtney’s ex, to get a scan of her brain.
“Scott and I are both going to look at our brains today with Dr. Daniel Amen. He does these brain scans to see how your brain health is really looking,” she said during the episode. Her sisters Khloe Kardashian and Kendall Jenner both had brain scans by the celebrity doctor.
Kim Kardashian was shocked by the results of a brain scan
Prior to the brain scans, Kim and Scott discussed how calm the All’s Fair actress is in stressful situations. They pontificated whether this would show up on the brain scan.
The doctor sat with Kim after the results, saying her brain was “beautiful.” She responded, “I have a beautiful brain,” she gushed in a confessional. “I’ve heard that before.” He then informed Kim that she is not at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease and is not very stressed, anxious or depressed. “You are extraordinary in being positive,” he said.
The bad news were the “holes” he saw in her brain scan photo, which indicated “low activity.” The doctor informed Kim, “The front part of your brain is less active than it should be. With your frontal lobes, as they work now, it would be harder to manage stress and that’s not good for you, especially as you’re studying and you’re getting ready to take the boards.”
Startled, she responded, “That just can’t be. It just can’t — not accepting.”
The doctor explained the results could be attributed to the daily “chronic stress” from studying for the California bar exam. He recommended Kim reduce her stress as much as possible. “I got to get on a plan to really figure this out because I have some sh*t to do this summer,” she said on the episode.
