Mr. David R. Dos Santos

David R. Dos Santos is the founder of HumanOS Books, a publishing collective built on a single premise: Your biology and habits are an operating system that can be audited, debugged, and upgraded.

As a Creative Director and brand/product designer, David spent two decades mastering the art of high-level optimization—before realizing his own "internal software" was crashing. His successful battle with functional alcoholism served as the ultimate stress test for his research-based approach to habit change. This experience birthed the HumanOS philosophy: cutting through the "wellness" noise to deliver straight-talk protocols for high-achievers.

The HumanOS approach leverages advanced data synthesis and rigorous ai curation to distill verified scientific data into actionable "manuals." By combining technological research with obsessive human curation, David provides readers with what the industry often lacks: facts without the fluff, and systems without the platitudes.

Whether the topic is Physical Longevity (Lift to Live) or Habit Recovery (Stone Cold Sober), David’s mission remains the same: to give intelligent, motivated individuals the tools to upgrade their human operating system and stop settling for mediocre performance.

When he isn’t auditing the latest health data or designing the next HumanOS manual, David can be found on the ice hockey rink, the padel court, or managing the beautiful chaos of raising two kids. He is living proof that once you fix the bugs in your OS, everything else becomes possible.
