Why Double World Record Holder, Adventurer and Motivational Speaker Vicki Anstey chooses STAIT as a solid, reliable support.
"I’m 48, juggling a pretty full-on chapter - training for an Atlantic row this December while also preparing for the launch of my very first book ‘Other People Are Like The Weather’. It’s a lot, and I’m really aware that how I support my body matters, now more than ever.
STAIT for Women has slipped quite seamlessly into my routine.
The capsules have been a game changer in a quiet, steady way. I’m not looking for spikes of energy - I need consistency. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and rhodiola help take the edge off stress, especially on heavier training days or when work feels intense. Whilst magnesium and B vitamins support my recovery and energy - I feel less depleted, which, given everything on my plate is huge.
I’m also more conscious of hormonal balance and increased likelihood of inflammation, and having those supportive ingredients in there just makes me feel, even just psychologically, that I’m covering more bases without overcomplicating things.
And the STAIT Skin Balm - is absolutely divine. Between training, the elements, and general wear and tear, my skin (especially my hands!) takes a hit. The balm is so nourishing. The combination of shea butter and moringa oil leaves my skin feeling protected and repaired, without being greasy. A moment of TLC in my day.
It’s never about quick fixes. It’s about having solid, reliable support that helps me keep showing up - in training, in work, and in life. I can’t thank the wonderful team at STAIT enough."
At 41, Vicki Anstey became one of the first women to compete in Channel 4’s SAS Who Dares Wins, enduring 11 days of grueling challenges at 3,000 feet in Chile’s extreme conditions, reaching the final stages. In 2021, she set a World Record with Girls Who Dare, rowing unsupported across the Pacific Ocean in 60 days, 17 hours, and 6 minutes — conquering her profound fear of open water. More recently, she competed in the World’s Toughest Bike Race, cycling 3,000 miles across America as part of a four-woman team in just 6 days, 19 hours, and 38 minutes, with a pending Guinness World Record. She has also completed ultra-distance runs spanning 250km, carrying all necessities to survive in some of the planet’s most unforgiving terrains — from the Arctic’s -35°C to the 50°C heat of Kenya’s savannahs. Her next challenge is The World's Toughest Row across the Atlantic Ocean.
Some may assume that these have been the greatest challenges a person could face: rowing an ocean, enduring SAS interrogation, or surviving in the Arctic. They would be mistaken. Vicki openly talks about how her greatest challenge, one that echoes with many, has been overcoming the mental and emotional barriers that confront everyone. In her talks, she inspires and uplifts, guiding audiences to understand that fearlessness is not required — only the courage to face one’s fears. She demonstrates how to process and manage emotions, tap into true potential, and find the drive to thrive, not only in professional settings but also within communities and personal lives.
In her book - Other People are Like the Weather - a memoir of fear, endurance and transformation, Vicki tells the gripping story of a life rebuilt under pressure – and the moment she realised that the hardest thing to overcome was not the conditions around her, but the patterns within.
