Pillow co-authored The Gluten-Free Good Health Cookbook: The Delicious Way to Strengthen Your Immune System and Neutralize Inflammation with her sister, Annalise Roberts (author of Gluten-Free Baking Classics). In 2007, Claudia received her Ph.D. in Health Studies from Texas Women's University. As part of her dissertation, she developed and tested a celiac disease school screening tool and is currently in the process of making the program available nationally. Prior to earning her doctorate, Claudia was a 1982 graduate of the New York Restaurant School and worked as a chef and caterer for many years. A MBA and BS from Rutgers University offered her the opportunity to jump to the corporate side of the food industry, where she marketed cheese, natural beverages and currently, Hail Merry® gluten-free, vegan and raw snacks. Dr. Pillow served on the board of the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America and is now a local resource for the North Texas chapter where she organized the Gluten-Free Makeover Event: A Healthier You, at the Gaylord Texan last year, attended by 700 people. She teaches gluten-free culinary classes, lectures nationally and writes for her website www.foodphilosopher.com and blog.hailmerry.com. After reading the 2007 Women’s Health Initiative Study results that found low fat diets do not prevent chronic diseases, such as cancer, obesity and cardiovascular disease, Claudia began researching fat, America’s fat-phobia and the implications on our health. She is excited to share this ground breaking research. Gluten Free Class If you are newly diagnosed with any condition that needs to follow a gluten-free diet, we highly recommend coming to our monthly class 'Gluten Free 101 - An introduction to Living Gluten Free'. This class meets across the hall from our regular monthly meetings and will give you a good foundation. The class starts at 9:00 am and ends around noon. Snacks and water will be served. A resource table is available afterward where you can preview many books and other items to help you on your journey. This class is free, but registration is required. Registration is open to patients, family members, and medical professionals. To register, send an email to education@northtexasgig.com. If you are familiar with GF baking, please bring a dish to share with others. If you are new to the diet or not comfortable with baking yet, don’t feel obligated to bring anything.
