Kim Kardashian (45) got a sobering wake-up call in the latest episode of The Kardashians (Hulu/Disney+, November 28, 2025), when celebrity psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen analyzed her brain scan, flagging “low frontal lobe activity” and confirming a pre-existing aneurysm.
The Shocking Results
During the session, Amen pointed to “holes” in Kim’s scan—indicators of reduced activity in areas controlling executive function, focus, and stress management. He linked it to chronic stress from her high-pressure life:
“Your frontal lobes are not functioning at the level they need to manage this intensity… You’re extraordinary in your positivity, but the stress is taking a toll.”
Kim shot back:
“That just can’t be. It just can’t. I’m not accepting.”
Amen reassured her: No high Alzheimer’s risk, but warned unmanaged stress could worsen issues like the aneurysm discovered via Prenuvo full-body scan (revealed in a prior episode). Neurosurgeon Dr. Keith Black advised: Intense pressure could raise rupture risks.
Kim’s Stress Sources
The SKIMS founder tied it to her 2025 grind:
- Studying for the California Bar Exam (failed July sitting; retaking February 2026).
- Co-parenting four kids (North, Saint, Chicago, Psalm) post-2022 Kanye West divorce.
- Running billion-dollar empire (Skims valued at $4B).
“I got to get on a plan… I have some s*** to do this summer.”
She kept it light, joking: “I have a beautiful brain. I’ve heard that before,” referencing 2022 scans of sisters Khloé and Kendall.
Bigger Picture: Kardashian Family Health Scans
Kim’s not alone—her family’s been Amen’s patients:
- Khloé: Low dopamine, anxiety markers.
- Kendall: PTSD from 2016 Paris robbery.
The episode spotlights mental health in high-achievers, with Kim vowing lifestyle tweaks amid bar prep. Fans praise her vulnerability; critics question Amen’s celeb-favorite scans.
Kim’s resilience shines—rooting for her bar win and stress-free future.
