Tracey Lewarne

Tracey Lewarne serves as Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader for Human Nutrition and Sport and Exercise Nutrition at Bath Spa University's School of Sciences, with academic credentials including a BSc (Hons) in Nutrition and Biochemistry from the University of Nottingham, PGCE from the University of Southampton, and MPhil from the University of Bournemouth.

Her educational foundation comprises:

• BSc (Hons) Nutrition and Biochemistry, University of Nottingham
• PGCE (Science/Biology), University of Southampton
• MPhil, University of Bournemouth

Lewarne's research spans biochemical mechanisms in diabetes and contemporary public health nutrition. Initial work investigated superoxide dismutase activity in diabetes mellitus and its relationship to secondary complications like cardiovascular disease. Current scholarship focuses on nutrition-well-being connections and planetary health implications, reflecting evolving priorities from molecular biology to global sustainability frameworks. Her expertise bridges clinical biochemistry and population-level nutritional interventions.

Publication trends reveal a strategic shift from specialized cardiovascular pathology (2006-2012) toward integrative public health approaches, with the 2022 Nursing Standard article establishing clear linkages between dietary patterns, non-communicable disease prevention, and ecological sustainability.

Professional recognition includes:

• Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (FHEA)

Lewarne maintains active professional engagement through nutrition reviewing for The British Food Journal and course assessment for The Association for Nutrition. Her external examiner roles at Sheffield Hallam University (2009-2013) and University of Bedfordshire (2018-2022) demonstrate sector-wide influence. Continuous professional development through conferences and training ensures curriculum relevance across her teaching domains: Human Nutrition, Epidemiology and Public Health, and Food and Nutrition in Practice.

She maintains dual registration as a UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists member and Nutrition Society affiliate, underscoring professional commitment to evidence-based practice.
