CBD TLC! Houston Docs Launch New 'Research-Driven' Hemp Products

TWO HOUSTON DOCTORS have launched a new line of hemp- and plant-based products designed to relieve pain, aid recovery, and promote wellness.


The “research-driven” product line was developed by Revive Biotech, a health and wellness company headquartered in The Woodlands. Slimane Aboulkacem and his Chief Medical Advisor and co-founder, Jeffrey Pruski, focused on developing and manufacturing effective, high-quality pain-relief products.

“Through our global research consortium and tech innovations, we are breaking through a market saturated with varying qualities of hemp-based products to deliver well-researched, advanced solutions that are more effective and affordable for consumers and enable people to revive, move, sleep and feel better for a better quality of life,” Aboulkacem explains.

The new Revive Biotech product line features potent THC-free pain-relief topicals and drops made with carefully selected ingredients from distinguished hemp farms in Oregon. The lineup includes balms, creams, roll-ons, drops and gummies, offering varying strengths of CBD derivatives to aid in pain relief, sleep and overall wellness. All products undergo an extensive three-stage R&D protocol.

Revive Biotech employs pain-management doctors, pharmacologists and organic chemists, and partners with renowned public universities and companies in the U.S. and abroad to formulate and test its products.

The new hemp-based products are available online and at a soon-to-open retail location in Huntsville.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.

HOUSTON BALLET’S 2025–2026 season opened in high style with a double celebration. After the curtain fell on Onegin — John Cranko’s tale of love and rejection — more than 220 patrons gathered on stage at the Wortham for the annual Opening Night Onstage Dinner, one of the company’s most anticipated traditions.

The evening paid special tribute to Jim Nelson. Nelson, who took the helm as Executive Director in 2012, guided the Ballet through the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the challenges of COVID. During dinner, Nelson was honored with a proclamation from the City of Houston. Even Nelson’s mother attended and received a special shout-out during his dinner toast.
