You can also remove the top compartment if you want to use it as a traditional slow feeder bowl too! Check it out on TikTok here.Promising review: "We have a medium-sized puppy that's rapidly growing and eats like a monster in Halloween! Nothing wrong with that, except he eats so fast, he often gets ill afterwards. This product worked much better than expected. It took our dog so long to eat (and yet stayed engaged) he laid down. He went from 1-2 minutes to almost 20+ minutes. He hasn't had any further incidents and seems to actually enjoy the challenge! Product is well made and easy to clean and take care of (read the instructions first!). Not sure how long this specific bowl will last (probably for a very long time), but if I have to replace it, it will be this product." — sooner961

No batteries required — it charges via USB!Promising review: "I bought one of these for my grandson's 1st birthday. It seemed fitting because they live within walking distance from the Chesapeake Bay. Lots of crab lovers around here. My grandson loved it and so did all the adults LOL. It's so cool the way it scampers across the floor sideways like a real crab. Out of all the gifts he got this one really got his attention. My son called me the day after the party and said he was still playing with it and chasing it across the floor. So glad I got it! I heard a few of the adults say they wanted to get one for themselves." — J. ButlerPromising review: "Love this toy! It keeps our dogs entertained for hours" — Rebecca Haislip

I travel for a living and love to paint and this set is wonderful. I love that it comes in a metal tin, so I don't have to worry about it breaking, like most plastic ones. The colors are vibrant and I love that there are so many within the container. The container itself is the size of two make up eye palettes, so you can definitely fit it in a purse or backpack. It comes with a swatch section too so you can paint the colors and compare later on when you paint. I'm a huge fan now of this brand." — pixxi88

Prior to this 3-in-1 compact purchase, I have purchased three different kinds of 3-in-1 chargers — I frequently travel between school and home with carry-on bags on airlines and all of the previous stand version chargers doesn't fit well in my bags or I am always worried I would break. This is compact and folds so well that I can fit in my carry-on or in any zipper pockets without having to worry about breaking anything. Charger works really well and it is the best compact one you can find in market. Love it and been using it for two months now and no issues!!" — SBREDDY

And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) just do not use it every day. Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff! I saw a dermatologist on TikTok that raved about this product and tried it out and it's been the most amazing stuff! It's helped my face to clear up very quickly removing all of the blemish spots and dark spots around my face. It's been one of the best products I've added to my face routine. This would be great for all ages/stages and for any weather types. It doesn't moisturize much, but that's not it's intention and there is no scent, so I'd imagine it's great for all skin types and hypoallergenic." — Successful SoloPromising review: "I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." — C. Munsterman

This one checks all the boxes: super roomy, plenty of pockets (including one for shoes and a separate wet bag!) and a strap that slides down over your luggage handle for easy transport. And reviewers say it meets even Spirit and JetBlue's personal item rules and fits under airplane seats!Promising review: "I bought this backpack for work. It's the BEST backpack I've ever used. I needed one with several pockets and not too big or heavy. I found that with this backpack, I can fill it and still have room! There's even a shoe and clothing compartment for traveling! The straps are just wide enough to stay on your shoulders especially with the snap straps in front. I also love the color, and it's true to the picture color. If you're looking for lightweight with tons of pockets, this is what you need!" —Kelly MillerPromising review: "This is a perfect size backpack for traveling on a plane as your personal item, especially to international destinations. You could fit rolled-up clothes in here for another week, and it has a very handy shoe bag and tons of places for your electronics. This will be an excellent addition to my carry-on suitcase. Best purchase all year. I consider myself an expert on travel bags. I have way too many. It's smaller than it looks but so roomy." — AP

Check it out on TikTok.Promising review: "My husband was so excited to find this keyhook! He is an avid songwriter and musician and loves Fender products. The keyhook looks great, is well made, and is definitely eye catching. Right after we hung it up a friend visited and asked us if it was a custom ordered piece! I was initially concerned with how tight the jacks plug into the base. My fear was that I would pull it off the wall trying to detach my keys...but we have had no problems. It seems to be firmly attached to the wall with the included hardware. Also be sure to pay attention to where you hang it as the jacks stick out from the wall further than your traditional keyhook. All in all, a very cool piece and we are glad we purchased it!" — Leslie W.

It also allowed me to involve my toddler in the gift wrapping without worrying that she would lose an eye, finger, or chuck of hair. Everyone that had happened to see it in action had been amazed (I know, it doesn't take much after a certain age) and I even gave my mom one because she liked it so much.

I got this because I am ALWAYS having to pick out the shell when I crack an egg, whether for breakfast or my baking. Since buying this, I have cracked dozens of eggs without ANY shells in it. To say I am happy is an understatement. If you don't have one you should rush to get one. We are going to get them for wedding gifts when we know that the couple loves to do their own cooking. Kudos to whoever thought of this. It works perfectly, every time." — Edwin Myers

A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What's more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" — Rachel in CLT

Promising review: "I'm surprised this tote isn't viral yet. Phenomenal design for work girlies or guys. Fits SO MUCH. And the leather is quality for the price, plus the minimal design has me feeling like a cool girl. Best work tote for the price. 10/10. Only small negative is it doesn't have any guards on the bottom to protect the leather so beware of scuffing if you ride the bus etc..." — CJ

Promising review: "I saw this on Tiktok after eating some special brownies and I don't regret buying these at all. I gave a couple to my kids and kept a couple for the next time I eat some brownies. They aren't sturdy. They're probably not going to last forever but they're a cheap little toy that makes you feel like not everything in life is a dumpster fire. So go ahead and get these." — Jared

I saw a TikTok about these and decided to order. Sheets balling all up in the washer and dryer has been a pet peeve of mine for forever. I was super skeptical of these, but I tried it and it works as advertised! It's a little on the expensive side IMO, and that's kinda holding me back from purchasing a second set, but they really do work." — StrangerThings

Best slides I've ever had. I have designer slides and these surpass. True to size.They are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don't get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I've put them to the test and I'm Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!" — KriziaPromising review: "Let me tell you!! These slides are seriously the best slides. Slides typically aren't my first choice, however after seeing so many reviews on TikTok and Instagram I decided to order some. I've had them almost two months and have worn them quite often, no complaints! 10 out of 10 recommend!!! I got them in black, they are so comfy, and I definitely plan on ordering in more colors!" — Ashleigh P

Remove, stir and microwave two more minutes, then add the other ingredients per the mac and cheese instructions. Check out a TikTok of the rapid mac cooker in action. People also use this to rapid cook their ramen! Rapid Brands is a California-based small business that specializes in dishwasher-safe, microwaveable BPA-free kitchen products.Promising review: "There is nothing I dislike about this. I don't like milk so didn't add it but it's surprisingly as good or better than stove top. The texture and flavor is on point and it's not soggy like easymac. I laughed when I got this and was like wow it's no different than any container. It's harder material so idk what it's made of but the directions inside the container are on point for good mac and cheese except I drained the water. The days of scrubbing a big pot are over for me. I can't believe this actually worked. Especially bc the texture of the noodles and the taste is so on point. I got no discount and wasn't paid for this review. I just really am shocked it worked and worked so well. They got this down to a science with this container and directions. I am amazed." — me

Promising review: "So soft. Easy decision to buy more. I saw a recommendation for these from TikTok and went for it. King size sheets aren't cheap, especially if you want quality. This was well worth the price. Super soft and perfect for both of us — he's always hot and I'm always cold. Neither of us are unhappy. I highly recommend these; going to cover all our beds in these sheets. Would love to see marvel designs and kid options!" — user08112116Promising review: "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman

You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.Promising review: "I absolutely love this cream! I seen many people on TikTok talking about so I had to hop on the trend and try it myself and let me tell you that was the best decision! The smell of the cream is amazing and it leaves your skin feeling so soft! When you apply the cream you only need to use a little bit because a lot goes a long way! It is a little pricy but you are able to use the product for a while before it runs out so it's worth it! If you want to smell amazing, definitely purchase the bum bum cream!" — StephaniePromising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have been using this for maybe three days now, and putting it on in the morning and evening are the best parts of my day. The description of the scent as "pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla" does not even begin to describe the incredibly decadent smell of this cream on my skin. My skin feels like velvet and I saw improvements in the texture after the first application. I will use it for the rest of my life. Do not ever discontinue this! I did not expect to be so amazed my this cream, but it is life-changing. Buy it! You won't regret it." — Michelle Brown

I was one of thousands (maybe millions) of people who jumped on the TikTok snail mucin train. I am so freaking glad I did. I've been using the product for about two weeks and my skin has never looked better. I am especially noticing a difference in texture. My skin looks more supple, hydrated, soft, and glowy! As a skincare [enthusiast] — this one sent me!! Highly recommend trying it out, especially for the price! Also disclosure — I am 34 and have battled with dull skin for years!" — Aimee DuPriest

Funny enough, these headphones were recommended via TikTok and I'm loving them so much. They look expensive and the sound quality is amazing! The various options of bud sizes make them customizable to fit your ear so they're nice and snug. The battery case is really sleek and can be easily tucked away in your pocket, bag, or purse. I haven't been this excited to have new technology in a while!" — Joey Reyes

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say: "I personally bought this a few months ago and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these, especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter how much I floss and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular."Promising review: "I will always buy this toothbrush. Can't say enough about it. I feel like I flossed after using it. I HIGHLY recommend this toothbrush" — Elli JaceyPromising review: "This was another one of my TikTok purchases! I was skeptical but my kids hate flossing their teeth so thought this might help in between making them floss. They work amazing! My kids said they could see and feel a different on the first use and I agree! They are definitely with a try! I would suggest not pushing too hard, those tiny bristles really get in there and if you push too hard you nights be sore like I was. It felt like after going to a dental cleaning." — Amy N.

Can't see the weird ring like most pasties. No nip visible at all. Can't even tell i'm wearing them. Skims dress, zara dress, thin tops, these work with all!" — ashley mPromising review: "SO. GOOD. I didn't get my hopes up much for these as I just couldn't imagine sticky silicone staying in place for a whole day. THEY DO. They're amazing. I've had them for a few months now — worn at least 5 times and only rinsed them once to regain stickiness and that's because I accidentally dropped them and they got cat hair stuck on the adhesive. Definitely got my money's worth out of them already and I feel as though they're going to last a good while! They're not noticeable but you feel protected. Normal crop tops that I'd comfortably go braless with are now even better with these since it gives just the slightest lift or SOMETHING. Idk what it is but the [boobs} look good." — maggie moon

I would definitely buy these again. I even send them in my kids lunch boxes! They are super fun and very durable. We most recently took them on vacation with us and use them the whole week. There are perfect for the plane and car rides especially." — Brittany Tremblay

This has the same type of jetted sprayer that you would use to jet out a drain line, so yeah it'll spray the stink off of a turd. It cleans baby bottles, Contigo, yeti, spaghetti sauce, baby food, mason jars with a couple of presses. Highly recommended over the messy soap dispenser!" — Chuq

Considering more colors for sure!" — Kristyn LongPromising review: "This cami is SOOO high quality, it feels exactly like if not even BETTER quality than similar lulu lemon yoga camis. The length is perfect, not too short not too long. After reading reviews I decided to size up and get a large because some people said if you get it too small the straps might cut into you and it'd be too short. I agree with that!

Promising review: "TikTok made me do it and I'm so glad I did. My daughter and I make cold brew each morning and used to fight over the ice cubes, not anymore! She has her container and I have mine. No more freezer smell and best of all no trying to twist a hard plastic container to get every single ice cube out of a tray. If I could give you a gazillion stars, I would, thank you." — tthomas1031Promising review: "We have a small freezer and no icemaker, and have been using fiddly trays for years. Icebreaker Pop has changed everything! No more leaky ice trays spilling in the freezer, (or on the way to the freezer), and no ice picking up weird smells and tastes from the freezer. Icebreaker Pop is self-contained and easy to use. You fill it up with water –but be careful not to overfill, because it does expand as it freezes. (Physics!) Seal the top and put it in the freezer. Once it's frozen, you lay it on a flat surface, press down hard on it a couple of times on each side to crack the ice, and pull apart with both handles. You now have 18 cubes of clean ice that dispense from the opening, eliminating the need to touch the cubes as you add them to your glass. The cubes are a little smaller than from regular ice trays, but that's okay with us. Icebreaker Pop is also cool-looking and easy to clean; it's made up of three easy-to-separate pieces that are a snap to wash thoroughly. Very happy with this product!" — Leah Koepp

They're super handy for getting stuff out of the oven, and I feel less likely to drop a dish than when I use traditional hot pads/oven mitts with the padding. Very grippy, thick enough that heat doesn't transfer through, and again, hilarious." — Hannah B

There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" — JMilwaukee

Watch this parent share why this sleep trainer is one of their "best parenting hacks" in this TikTok. Promising review: "My 2-year-old started getting up at 6:30 instead of 7:30 and was ready for the day. I saw this on TikTok, so I ordered it and explained to him how if Mella is red, we have to sleep, and when Mella turns green, it's time to play. The first night, he sat up a couple of times in the night and looked at it and laid back down. We've been using it for almost a week, and he stays in bed until it's green without any crying or complaining, so it fixed my problem so fast! You do have to toggle the night light on to red if you want it in all night. You could choose other colors, too, but red and green worked well since he has a car seat with red and green stop lights, so easy connection. Anyways, I highly recommend it! He loves to check on Mella during the day and see if it's asleep." — Mpt2

If it's left out it inevitably gets torn or ruined. This keeps it safe, and displays it perfectly on the wall. IN LOVE!" — Sara Lazaro

See why this mama calls the Tushbaby "the best invention for parents of young children" on TikTok. Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weights around 30–35 lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms!

We used towels before under our bowls, but these cradle the bowls so they are easier to hold. We bought some bigger plate sizes too." — Heidi J.

Just don't wash or dry your loads with the turtle inside. Check out a TikTok of the Laundry Turtle in action.Promising review: "I saw this product on a 'Best of Amazon' YouTube video. I instantly saw the value of being able to switch laundry from the washing machine to the dryer in one easy motion, so I ordered it. It makes switching laundry so easy! It's also a great replacement for laundry baskets. I recently stayed with an ill family member, knowing that I'd be doing laundry at her house. I hauled along my Laundry Turtle, which folded up into a small bundle, and used it at her house. No matter the size of the load, one revolution of the washing machine put all of the damp clothes in the Turtle and made transferring laundry so easy! I agree that it is one of Amazon's best household items." — Jeril

I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Other duvet tools I've seen just plain suck. The clips are never reliable and the ties just don't stay. This handy dandy tool ENSURES nothing will move. I placed one on each corner of the duvet and then I put one on the middle edge between each corner. Absolutely no moving! Don't walk, RUN TO BUY THIS.

He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to.

It took me all of 30 seconds to install, and the brightness settings on the app are perfect. I like that I can set a timer on the light so I don't accidentally leave it on. Mine came with an extra battery, so when the initial one needs to be recharged, I just swap it out. I actually think I'm going to need to buy another one!" —LaurenGet it from Amazon for $99 (available in three colors).

I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to its size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slowly and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too!

It definitely helps me get excited about reading more since they're so cute and visible. The shelves were also super easy to hang, and, as you can see, they're very sturdy." Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately five to seven hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMereGet it from Amazon for $11.50+ (available in small or large and in sets of three).

Just fill up a pen with paint of your choice and paint the problem area. Slobproof is a small business that makes paint touch-up review: "I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I moved into a house with older wood cabinets, and because it's such a small kitchen, I knew that painting the cabinets white (actually went with cream!) would make it feel so much larger! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch-up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. The cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." —Claire FloresGet it from Slobproof on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in a pack of two or five).

It's really sticky but when we made an error and had to peel some of it off, it wasn't that hard to take it off and didn't damage the wall paint too. Will definitely order from the same company if we need to in the future." —Ashley it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three quantities and six colors). A textured shaggy rug to place over hard flooring so you have something soft underfoot. The Moroccan vibes will bring some bohemian energy to your space. Promising review: "Product looks way way better in person. The pictures don't do it justice. Completely transformed one of my rooms simply by laying this rug out. It's softer than it looks, too." —GrantGet it from Amazon for $28.37+ (available in many sizes and nine colors). These stick-on track lights if you want a continuous glow, not a spotted one. They're remote-controlled and dimmable, and you can set a timer so they shut off automatically. They plug into a power outlet, so you never need to worry about the battery dying. Some floating shelves so your pretty things have a place to shine. Most bathrooms just have a few towel rods, so installing these will give you plenty of opportunities to show off your gorgeous candles, ceramics, and hand towels. Promising review: "These shelves are so beautiful! My bathroom doesn't have a counter around the sink so this is perfect. It is modern and sleek and the wood and cast-iron shelves are very well built and sturdy. I was surprised that these are such high quality considering the price." —VincentGet a set of two from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in seven finishes). A pack of six furniture markers to touch up small nicks and cuts in your wood furniture and floors. Each kit comes with the most common wood colors (cherry, mahogany, walnut, black, maple, and oak) and matching crayons for easy filling when the damaged area is a little deep. Promising review: "I am thoroughly impressed! We have a 115-plus-year-old house, and we only have hardwood in our downstairs hall and den. We didn't want to spend tons of money because we were probably going to be replacing the flooring in a few years. I'm actually still working on this as I'm writing this, but I am so impressed that I just had to write a review right away. The only 'negative' I have is that the colors are darker than the caps show, but it's not a big deal. For the money, you can't go wrong." —BorgGet them from Amazon for $9.49. A fog-resistant, wall-mounted shower mirror so you can get a perfect shave every time. It has three different light settings, adjustable brightness, a little shelf to hold and hooks your razors, and a squeegee just in case it does fog up. Promising review: "I ran across this mirror on another person's TikTok. Once I received this and mounted it in my shower, it was amazing! It feels like a fancy hotel feature that was placed within my shower. I love the different light settings. On the downside, the mirror does fog up frequently due to the steam. Since the mirror comes with a wiper, that helps as a slight fix to that problem. Overall, I highly recommend this as a purchase for an elevated feature to your bathroom" —Shanel MitchellGet it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors). A pack of 16 solar-powered outdoor lights to clip onto your balcony's ledge. Warm nights spent in your outdoor space will be so much nicer when you have proper mood lighting. Promising review: "Developed a garden on the apartment patio, and wanted to add some lights along the railing to give it some character. These solar lights are not too bright and were easy to install. All lights work, which is great. Better than could have hoped for. 👍" —KMFGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and also a set of 20). An under-cabinet lid opener so you never struggle to open a jar again. And because it mounts to the underside of your cabinet, it'll be out of sight and out of mind when you don't need it. A 30-pack of picture hooks to make hanging pictures and mirrors on walls easy-peasy. Just push, twist, and insert into drywall or plaster. These hooks saved the day (and my walls) after I failed miserably with nails, screws, and adhesive strips while trying to put together a gallery wall in my dining room. Instead of fumbling to find a study to drill into (what am I, a magician?) or risking smashed fingers with another ill-fitting nail, I used these to hang my art quickly and safely. You just push them into the wall and twist until only the hook portion is visible. No stud-finding, no pre-drilling, no anchors — just push, twist, and hang. I honestly don't understand why these aren't in every household. They're that good. Get it from The Home Depot for $14.98. Some shelf dividers for organizing and partitioning shelves in your closet. Not only will it help keep the stacks of clothing and bedding upright, but now everything from towels to linens will have their own spot. Promising review: "If you need to Marie Kondo your closet, this is really useful, and it looks really nice. I got the gray ones. Bought two to see how they were. Perfect. Bought six more. Loving it!!! Really recommended this product, ready to install and very sturdy." —Nicolò R. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99. Some solar-powered outdoor lantern lights since the time is now to spend evenings hanging out in your backyard. Because they don't require electricity, you can hang them and then not worry about maintenance. Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog TailorGet it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in three styles). A satin nickel switch plate, because good design is in the details. Walls can be so drab, and this is basically a snazzy accessory to jazz yours up. A mold-resistant grout pen to cover grout stains with a fresh coat of waterproof white paint. Each pen can cover up to 150 feet of grout. Be sure to clean your grout beforehand, as this pen covers stains that will be easier to cover if the surface is are 11 different grout colors available: white, winter gray, light gray, gray, dark gray, black, ivory, cream, beige, brown, and terracotta. You can view all the review: "I have 12-inch white tile in my whole house that is 20 years old. Even though I kept it looking nice, the grout still was getting dark. I cleaned the grout and let it dry well until the next day, then used the grout pen. It looks like it is brand-new. One thing that I found out was that if the tip of the pen starts to look worn, you can just pull it out and turn it over — it is the same tip on both ends. It will take some time to do the whole house, but it looks so great that I will just do a section at a time 'til I finish. One other thing that I did was run my finger down the grout line after I applied the grout pen, then wipe down the tile line with a paper towel so no other cleanup was necessary." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in a narrow or wide tip). A pack of artificial ivy leaves that'll bring the outdoors in. Hang these on your walls for a backdrop, or use them as window treatments for extra privacy.

It comes in gold, black, or silver, so it's sure to match any metal finish you have in your bathroom.

Woman in Psych Unit Diagnosed With Dementia at 56, It Was Menopause

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This time last year, Hayley, 57, was sectioned and admitted to a psychiatric unit. She was suffering from intense psychosis, paranoia and depression. Her behavior had changed so drastically that she no longer recognized her own family. Her speech was incoherent, her thoughts disordered and she was experiencing vivid hallucinations. Doctors told her family that it's likely to be frontotemporal dementia (FTD)—a rare and devastating neurological condition that typically affects people between 45 and 64. Unlike Alzheimer's, FTD often causes dramatic personality changes, emotional withdrawal and problems with speech, movement and decision-making. But the diagnosis was wrong. Hayley wasn't losing her mind to dementia. She was going through menopause. Screenshots from TikTok showing Jay's face over an image of his mom when she was sectioned. A more recent photo of Hayley. Screenshots from TikTok showing Jay's face over an image of his mom when she was sectioned. A more recent photo of Hayley. TikTok/@drlouisenewson Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life when her periods stop, marking the end of fertility. But it can also be a time of extreme vulnerability. Hormonal changes can trigger or worsen mental health conditions, including serious ones like psychosis. In Hayley's case, the symptoms were so severe and sudden that even specialists believed she had a degenerative brain disease. Newsweek spoke with Hayley and her 25-year-old son, Jay, about the misdiagnosis that upended their lives. "We were all completely devastated," Jay said. "At the time, it was totally believable. Mom's ability to communicate was deteriorating, her psychosis meant she couldn't recognize us, and her hallucinations were getting worse. "Upon hearing the news of a potential dementia diagnosis, it felt like the final stage in a long-standing journey of suffering." Misdiagnosis and Hospitalization Jay was heartbroken by his mom's diagnosis, but then a family friend suggested it could have to do with her hormones. Desperate for answers, he began researching alternative explanations. That's when he discovered Dr. Louise Newson, a leading U.K. menopause specialist known for transforming how menopause is understood and treated. Dr. Louise Newson. Dr. Louise Newson. Provided by Dr. Newson Speaking with Newsweek, Newson explained how menopause symptoms—including memory loss, brain fog, poor concentration and low mood—can closely resemble the early signs of dementia. "This can lead to confusion or misdiagnosis, with women being told they have cognitive decline when in fact their symptoms are due to hormonal changes," she said. "It has been known for many decades that the hormones oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone all have important and beneficial effects on the function of the brain—improving the way the cells and nerves work as well as working as neurotransmitters. "These hormones reduce inflammation in the brain and also improve blood supply to the brain." Battle for Treatment In a detailed TikTok video shared to @drlouisenewson, Jay highlights how medics refused to believe Hayley's condition was linked to her hormones. "Jay struggled to convince the psychiatrists to prescribe body-identical hormones, and it wasn't until they discussed with Dr. Newson that they eventually agreed to prescribe them some months later," Hayley told Newsweek. From left: Jay, 25, mom Hayley, 57, and Dr. Louise Newson. From left: Jay, 25, mom Hayley, 57, and Dr. Louise Newson. The Dr Louise Newson Podcast She began taking HRT and testosterone in September 2024 and it took from four to eight weeks for depression and psychosis to subside. "I recall one day feeling like something had lifted, and then I spent moments in the subsequent weeks crying as I realized what had been happening. "Coming back into reality after years of suffering was extremely overwhelming and daunting at first. By the 12th week of HRT, I had returned to reality and was fortunate enough to spend Christmas with my son," she said. History of Mental Health Struggles After suffering with postpartum psychosis with all three of her children, Hayley has spent most of her adult life in and out of mental health units. In 2010, she was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder—a mental health condition that is marked by a mix of schizophrenia symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, and mood disorder symptoms. "From 48, my mental health and cognitive condition deteriorated significantly," she said, "and I was unable to recover, spending a lot of the time sectioned on psychiatric wards." Hormones and Mental Health Newson said: "Hormonal changes are a major factor in many women's mental health, particularly during the perimenopause and after childbirth, as well as women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), yet they're often overlooked in psychiatric care. "As a result of this inadequate education, women are frequently given antidepressants, antipsychotics and other unnecessary treatments without exploring whether hormonal changes might be part of the cause. Women need to have a more informed approach that considers both mental health and hormones together." Hayley became agoraphobic as her delusions made it hard to leave her home and she self-medicated with alcohol.

TikTok/@drlouisenewson Life After Recovery "Since my recovery with HRT, I love having my grandchildren stay with me at the weekends and we have the loveliest of times," Hayley said. "I also spend time with my children enjoying concerts, meals out and doing the things we missed out on as they grew up. "I have a newfound lust for life and motivation which I haven't experienced in decades. Few things worry me and my confidence has generally returned. Despite having suffered for most of my adulthood and the elements of lasting damage, I feel so fortunate to be able to finally create many special memories in such a short space of time." Now Hayley is making up for lost time with her family, something her son admires greatly. "Never in a million years did I think we would have ever achieved what we have done in the past year," he said. "I feel a great sense of achievement and satisfaction that the hard work and perseverance in advocating for my mum and finding the answers has paid off more than we ever could have imagined."

These Podiatrist-loved New Balance Shoes Are a Favorite Among Nurses and Travelers

New Balance sneakers are the stylish 'dad shoes' that non-dads can't get enough of—and they're often the first walking shoe brand podiatrists recommend to patients with foot issues. It's partly because of those doctor referrals that New Balance shoes are some of the most-bought and widely loved on Amazon, several boasting tens of thousands of ratings. Take a look at the retailer's list of the best-selling road running shoes, and you'll find New Balance styles sprinkled in amid Brooks sneakers that cost nearly twice as much. According to reviewers, these Fresh Foam Roav V1s aren't just 'a dream for runners'—they're also great for frequent travelers, avid walkers, nurses on their feet for hours each day, and folks who deal with chronic foot pain. They happen to be up to 25 percent off right now, too, so go ahead and buy yourself a new pair of comfy shoes that'll make your doctor proud and your feet happy. These Roav V1 sneakers hail from New Balance's Fresh Foam collection. These shoes boast cushioned, shock-absorbing midsoles meant for long-distance running, trails, and other high-impact activities. The Fresh Foam also provides high rebound, a feature that promotes energy return, making it beneficial for marathon running and even American Ninja Warrior training. The Roav V1 style combines peak road running performance and casual aesthetics, making it the perfect option for an everyday sneaker. These sneakers also feature New Balance's signature Ndurance rubber outsole technology, ensuring they're extra secure in high-wear areas that would normally start ripping at the seams. They also have a unique wavy heel (named the Ultra Heel) that softly hugs your ankle, improving the fit and adding additional support. While they aren't billed as slip-on sneakers, reviewers say that this special heel design makes them easy to slide into hands-free. A testament to how comfortable they are, one customer said they were able to cover 30 miles over a three-day period while wearing them. This included 'climbing stairs, running through subways, walking along cobblestone paths, through wet grassy areas, and more.' They described the feeling as cloudlike: 'Never once did my feet, knees, or back ache.' Another shopper echoed this, writing, 'I walked hundreds of miles in one pair over the summer, and only retired them because they got really dirty and gross in the rain in Ireland. I am on my feet all day for work and my feet are never sore or tired.' Of the more than 17,000 Amazon shoppers who have given these New Balance shoes a five-star rating, many report that they've dealt with foot pain issues previously, including plantar fasciitis. One reviewer who's had three bunion surgeries and received a diagnosis of Morton's neuroma wrote that they bought the Fresh Foam Roav V1 sneakers at the recommendation of their podiatrist. They report that they love them for physical therapy appointments—especially because they don't look like typical orthopedic shoes. On the contrary, these podiatrist-recommended sneakers are actually quite cute. The mix of textures—including the mesh panels, ribbed banding, and wavy heel—adds tons of visual interest. Plus, there are more than a dozen different color combinations to choose from, some with watercolor outsoles or vibrant hues throughout the upper. Several styles are currently marked down by up to 25 percent off, with prices as low as $64. But they aren't the only New Balance sneakers on sale at Amazon right now—we found more podiatrist-loved styles starting at just $53, below. At the time of publishing, the price started at $52.
