Sway Factor Tool
Welcome to the Sway Factor© Tool
This innovative tool makes gender swaying through diet clear and effective by focusing on the ratio of key minerals in foods—not just their quantities. The Sway Factor© is your go-to guide for achieving the right mineral balance to sway pink or blue.
How It Works
The Sway Factor© assigns each food a score based on the balance between two sets of minerals:
-
Higher scores: Favor a girl sway by having a better ratio of combined calcium and magnesium relative to combined potassium and sodium.
-
Lower scores: Favor a boy sway with a stronger ratio of potassium and sodium compared to calcium and magnesium.
Color-Coded Hearts for Quick Reference
Each food also has a color-coded heart to show its swaying effect:
-
💖 Pink: Foods with a higher ratio of calcium and magnesium, supporting a girl sway.
-
💙 Blue: Foods with a higher ratio of sodium and potassium, favoring a boy sway.
-
💚 Green: Foods with minimal sway mineral content, safe for both diets. This can include foods with clear pink or blue scores but with such low mineral content that they won’t significantly impact swaying.
-
🖤 Black: Mixed mineral content. These foods need careful balancing to avoid compromising the sway effect.

Quick Search and Smart Planning
The Sway Factor Tool offers detailed food data per portion size, making it easy to incorporate into your diet. It highlights the Dominant Mineral in each food, helping you balance your choices effectively. Use the search function for quick look-ups and organized food categories, allowing you to compare foods efficiently.
When choosing foods, ensure both key minerals for your sway are present—magnesium and calcium for a girl, potassium and sodium for a boy—and stay within healthy limits, especially for sodium.
The information provided is general in nature, as mineral levels can vary between products. Always check food labels when possible, and feel free to reach out for help with interpreting the data.
