You've been told your labs are normal. That it's just your age. To try for a year and come back. And you left the appointment with more questions than you brought in. The Unrushed Hour is the appointment you never got.


Host Dr. Angela Mineo, DNP, APRN, is a board-certified nurse practitioner with more than 15 years in healthcare, including eight years as an ICU nurse. She knows the dismissed patient's side because she was one: years of fatigue and no answers, until she ran her own labs. Today she runs Cheval Wellness where visits last up to an hour, because no woman should be rushed through her own health.


In each episode, Dr. Mineo answers the way she does in the exam room: clearly, with evidence, and with no clock running. The show follows a woman's hormones across her whole life, from fertility and PCOS in her 30s to perimenopause in her 40s and menopause and beyond. Episodes cover what "normal" labs do and don't tell you, the early signs of perimenopause, when to test instead of waiting to conceive, weight changes after 40, heart and bone health after menopause, and how to get your doctor to take you seriously.


For women 30 to 60 who want real explanations from a clinician, not an influencer.

  • When Your Labs Say Normal But You Don’t Feel Fine
    12 Oct 2026

    Welcome to The Unrushed Hour, where we break away from the hustle of hurried medical visits to put patients’ stories, and time, at the center. In our very first episode, Dr. Angela Mineo, a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of Cheval Wellness, describes her personal journey from ICU nurse to patient searching for answers, and ultimately to healthcare provider dedicated to unrushed, personalized care. She delves into the frustrations many women face when their symptoms are dismissed or overlooked, the pitfalls of relying solely on “normal” lab results, and why taking the time to truly listen makes all the difference. If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office with more questions than answers, this episode is for you.
