| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Wellness Unmask. This is Dr. Nicole Sapphire, and we have to tackle something that hit the news media headlines this week. It is medical, but I guess when you're talking about the Kardashians, though, it feels like a little less medical. That's right. Kim Kardashian has announced that when she was undergoing brain MRI imaging, that they found, in her words, |
| 0:23.1 | a little brain aneurysm. And she said that they told her it was probably due to stress, |
| 0:29.4 | and she blames the divorce stress from her tumultuous divorce from Kanye West. Kim Kardashian |
| 0:36.9 | blaming her brain aneurysm on divorce stress is probably the |
| 0:41.4 | most Kardashian thing I've seen this year, maybe even the last several years. Truth be told, |
| 0:47.1 | I've never actually seen an episode of the show. Obviously, it's wildly popular. And all of these |
| 0:52.1 | sisters and their momager, Chris, Jenner, are wildly successful. |
| 0:57.0 | So they're clearly doing something right. But it seems to be they're always surrounded by drama. |
| 1:03.0 | And this brain aneurysm diagnosis, while it is dramatic and can be lethal, the way that it came |

| 1:18.0 | I happen to be married to one. Dr. Paul Sapphire, he's an endovascular board certified neurosurgeon |
| 1:23.1 | who specializes in, yep, brain aneurysms, strokes. Here we go. Let's dive right in. |
| 1:28.9 | And here he is, everyone, my husband, Dr. Paul Sapphire, as I mentioned, endovascular neurosurgeon, |
| 1:34.6 | who he specializes in brain tumors, vascular malformation, strokes, but also brain aneurysms. |
| 1:41.3 | So Paul, thank you so much for joining Wellness and Mast. |
| 1:49.7 | Thank you for having me again. So here's the question. I told you about this headline because I know you're not up with the Kardashian drama, but so what do you make of the fact that Kim Kardashian |
| 1:54.5 | now has this incidental brain aneurysm? Tell us a little bit about it. Well, in a way, |
| 1:59.7 | finding incidental brain aneurysms can sometimes be almost like opening |
| 2:04.2 | up Pandora's boxed, right? |
| 2:06.1 | Because clearly, from what I understand, she's had no symptoms. |
| 2:10.7 | This is purely a screening-type imaging scenario in which she underwent a wellness check. |
