A brain scan has just scientifically proven that Kim Kardashian has ‘low brain activity’
She literally can't argue with this
Kim Kardashian just delivered one of the most unexpected TV moments of the season, and yes, it involves her actual brain.
In a new episode of The Kardashians, Kim sits down with celebrity psychiatrist Dr Daniel Amen for a scan that ends up revealing something she did not see coming.
Let’s just say if you thought Kim’s bar-exam arc was dramatic… her brain health storyline is giving it a run for its money.
Kim’s had an aneurysm for years?!

Yep, that part shocked us almost as much as the scan results.
Kim shared that she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm years ago, which explains why she’s now extra proactive about her health.
So when Dr Amen started reviewing the images, she was laser-focused. The good news? He told her she’s not showing obvious signs of Alzheimer’s, and she doesn’t come across as depressed or highly anxious.
But the aneurysm backstory added a whole extra layer of ‘okay, this is serious’, even with the Kardashians-style glam lighting.

Then came the moment heard around social media. Dr Amen pointed out “holes.”
This was his term for areas where Kim’s brain showed lower activity, especially in the frontal lobes.
That’s the part of the brain tied to planning, memory, focus, handling stress… basically everything Kim is juggling 24/7.
He suggested that years of extreme stress (likely law school, her divorce, nonstop work, motherhood, world domination, etc) may have contributed.
Kim’s face went from confused to concerned to “tell me how to fix it” in about 0.3 seconds. Classic Kim.
It turns out there’s actually no need to panic, though. Dr Amen used SPECT imaging, which looks at blood flow in the brain.
It can show patterns worth paying attention to, but it’s not a diagnostic crystal ball.
Experts repeatedly stress that these scans can be useful, but they don’t automatically mean someone has a disorder, a disease, or “bad brain function.” They’re one piece of a much bigger puzzle, not a scientific mic drop.
Once the initial shock wore off, the Kardashians star slipped right back into practical-queen mode.
She immediately asked what she could do to improve her brain health, and if we know Kimmy, she’s probably putting that all in place right now.
