Hi! I’m Jazlyn Lancaster
Welcome to HerBalancedTable, a space where food, science, and self-care come together.
I’m Jazlyn Alana Lancaster, a chemistry major on the pre-med track at Spelman College, with a passion for nutrition, neuroscience, and understanding how what we eat shapes how we feel, think, and live.
Why I Created HerBalancedTable
HerBalancedTable was born from something personal.
After experiencing PCOS, I started to question everything
what I was eating, how my body responded, and why so much health advice felt confusing, overwhelming, or just… incomplete.
I realized that so many women, especially young women, are navigating their health without clear, accessible information.
So I created this blog to change that.
What This Space Is About
Here, I break down nutrition and wellness in a way that’s:
- ✿ Science-backed (but easy to understand)
- ✿ Realistic (no extreme diets or unrealistic routines)
- ✿ Intentional (because how we experience food matters too)
You’ll find:
- Nutrition insights & food science
- PCOS and hormone health education
- Lifestyle + wellness routines
- Recipes, reflections, and real-life balance
More Than Just Food
For me, food is more than fuel; it’s connection, culture, and care.
Through HerBalancedTable, I’m building toward something bigger:
a future where health education is accessible, and where women, especially those in underserved communities, feel empowered to understand and care for their bodies.
A Little More About Me
- Based in Atlanta (by way of Brooklyn ✨)

Jazlyn 🤍
