Kim Kardashian looked into her health following her brain aneurysm diagnosis.

On Season 7, Episode 6, of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian went to the doctor with Scott Disick to get a scan of her brain.

“Scott and I are both going to look at our brains today with Dr. Daniel Amen. He does these brain scans to see how your brain health is really looking,” she said in the episode.

Amen, a celebrity doctor known for using his brain imaging technology, has been previously featured in “The Kardashians,” and scanned Khloé Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s brains.

Ahead of their scans, Kardashian and Disick both spoke about her ability to stay calm across stressful situations and wondered if that would appear on her brain scan.

After getting the scan, Kardashian sat down with Amen to go over the results, and he told her that she has a “beautiful” brain, which made her smile.

“I have a beautiful brain,” she gushed in a confessional. “I’ve heard that before.”

Amen then revealed that Kardashian does not have a high risk for Alzheimer’s disease. He said she’s “not terribly stressed, not anxious and not depressed,” based on the scan. “You are extraordinary in being positive,” he said.

However, he did note that he saw “holes” in her brain scan photo, which he said indicates “low activity.”

“The front part of your brain is less active than it should be,” he said. “With your frontal lobes, as they work now, it would be harder to manage stress and that’s not good for you, especially as you’re studying and you’re getting ready to take the boards.”

“That just can’t be,” Kardashian said after hearing the news. “It just can’t — not accepting.”

Amen explained that Kardashian’s results could be linked to the “chronic stress” that she’s under everyday as she studies for the California bar exam. But despite what she’s facing, he said that she has to take steps to manage her stress better.

“I got to get on a plan to really figure this out because I have some s–t to do this summer,” she said in a confessional.

On Season 7 of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian said some of the big stressors in her life include co-parenting with ex-husband Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, taking the stand at the Paris robbery trial and studying for the bar.

In a Nov. 10 TikTok video, she revealed she failed the California bar exam and will have to retake the test.
