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.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
