Kim Kardashian walked into Dr. Daniel Amen’s office convinced she had “a beautiful brain.” She walked out rethinking everything. In the Nov. 27 episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, Kim joined Scott Disick for a scan that measures how well her brain is firing during all the chaos she manages daily: law studies, four kids, a global empire, and a 2022 divorce that refuses to stay quiet.
First, the good news. Dr. Amen told her she isn’t at high risk for Alzheimer’s. No major stress or anxiety flagged on the results either. “You are extraordinary in being positive,” he said, and Kim—42 and juggling life like she’s being scored for it—looked relieved.
Then came the curveball. Parts of her scan looked like “holes.” He explained those represent low activity in the frontal lobe, the area that helps with stress control. “The front part of your brain is less active than it should be,” he said. Kim blinked. “That just can’t be… not accepting.”

The doctor linked it to pressure, which checks out. She was prepping for the California bar exam while dealing with a divorce where the other parent didn’t call. On camera, she admitted Kanye hasn’t reached out at all, even as she parents North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm basically solo. Kim said it’s tough making all the decisions alone, especially when dealing with headlines that spin her family into clickbait.
Just last week, the All’s Fair star learned a separate scan revealed a brain aneurysm that has been hanging out for years. Afterward, she contacted surgeon Keith Black because stress could make things worse. Her kids don’t need to feel that stress too, so she’s working overtime to shield them, even jumping on social media to shut down fake quotes about North choosing sides.
Kim told the cameras she needs a plan to get everything under control. The bar exam, parenting, health scares, co-parenting that feels one-sided—she’s tackling all of it at once. No wonder her brain asked for a minute.
