Kim Kardashian’s TV Brain Scan Shows Reduced Frontal Activity Prompting Stress Plan

Dr. Daniel Amen attributed the pattern to chronic stress.

Overview

  • The Nov. 27 episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians showed Dr. Daniel Amen highlighting “holes” on imaging that he said reflect low activity in Kim Kardashian’s frontal lobes.
  • Amen cautioned that reduced frontal activity could hinder stress management as she prepares to retake the California bar exam, while her scan did not indicate anxiety, depression or elevated Alzheimer’s risk.
  • Kardashian expressed disbelief at the finding on camera and said she would get on a plan to address it.
  • The update follows her disclosure of a small brain aneurysm that doctors said had been present for years, with subsequent consultations and additional scans at Cedars-Sinai.
  • Coverage also notes medical experts who question Amen’s imaging methods and interpretations, urging caution about drawing firm conclusions from such scans.
