[Watch] Kim Kardashian Reveals She Has Low Brain Activity After Health Scan: “That just can’t be”
Kim Kardashian received a surprising health result while filming a new episode of The Kardashians. The reality star visited brain specialist Dr. Daniel Amen for a scan, which is shown in season 7, episode 6 of the Hulu series.
She went to the appointment with Scott Disick, explaining that the scan was meant to show how healthy their brains are.
During the visit, Kim joked that she had “a beautiful brain,” but the results brought some unexpected news. According to Dr. Amen, the imaging showed low activity in certain areas of her brain.
He pointed out that the front part of her brain was not working as strongly as it should be. He said this could make it harder for her to handle pressure, especially because she is studying for the California bar exam.
Kim pushed back at first, saying, “That just can’t be… not accepting.”
Even with the concerns, Dr. Amen reassured her that the scan did not show signs of Alzheimer’s disease and also noted that she wasn’t showing signs of depression or anxiety. He described her as “extraordinary in being positive.”

The doctor suggested that her scan results might be linked to ongoing stress. Kim has talked openly on the show about how preparing for the bar exam has been overwhelming. She has also mentioned the emotional strain of her divorce from Ye. Dr. Amen gave her steps to help her manage her stress moving forward. Kim responded by saying she needs to get focused, adding, “I have some s*** to do this summer.”
Just days earlier on another episode, Kim told Kourtney Kardashian that a different scan had revealed a brain aneurysm that doctors said she has had for years. She shared that after hearing the news, she reached out to brain surgeon Dr. Keith Black for further checks. According to Kim, she was told that stress plays a major role in whether an aneurysm can become dangerous.
Kim has been using regular medical scans to stay informed about her health while balancing her studies, work, and family life. New episodes of The Kardashians air every Thursday on Hulu.
