That tracks with what I've been told. I've half-joked about somehow finding a medical Doctor Sugar Momma to get married to, in exchange for managing her financials.
The 'somehow' in that sentence is doing alot of heavy lifting, though. Among other things.

Do you mean facts and foundational knowledge versus applied action here? Financial acumen = knowing what EPS means and how to read a balance sheet, the difference between price and value, etc etc?
What most people miss is how much of investing is a mental game, requiring an adoption of new beliefs and discarding many old ones. The person born into a family of highly successful investors would know this, while most of the rest of us chumps seem to pick up more misinformation and limiting beliefs than any sort of solid mentoring.
Pretty much. I've seen a bunch of egregious attitudes in regards to, for example, day trading, where alot of people fall into the attitude that they have to trade, despite the market not matching thier models, which turns what should be good tactics into basically betting on the market.
Or, for another example, people who flock in after a boom has occurred, asking if they should invest in your material of choice. (Looking at you, gold.)

Keep in mind I'm speaking as someone who actually 'gets it'. To a degree.
Maybe I'm expecting to much, but when you're hashing stuff out with an actual medical graduate on managing their college loan payouts and they're more than a little clueless while a friend of mine and I are just going 'No... this is easy', it kind of makes you re-think alot of things.
Granted, you seem to be less talking about financial acumen and more market management strategy. I would say they're a little bit different, and good market management strategy is alot harder than learning finance. IMO, and from my observations.

Before I took my finance courses, I would have told you I was horrible at math.
Now, I'm just convinced that math teachers are horrible at their job.
And worse comes to worse, that's what excel spreadsheets are for.

Sadly, as time goes by, I've become more and more convinced that finance is one of those realms that you either get or you don't, and alot of people - even ones that are highly intelligent in other fields - simply don't.

Frozen Keto Chow might be an option for you; My brother used it as a frozen treat via a Ninja Creami, and from personal experience, Keto Chow itself tends to taste pretty good.
I'd advise heavy cream as opposed to melted butter when making said Keto Chow, however, as I don't think melted butter freezes that well.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor.
Getting on statins, ironically, might be the worst thing possible for you, as there have been some indication that statins actually surpress GLP-1.
...which, if that's the case, explains atleast one possible factor regarding the obesity epidemic.
...also ironically enough, there's some indication that semaglutide helps with cardiovascular health.
Do with that information what you will.
Anything with heavy cream in it. Even straight, if he likes the taste. (I do, but I'm a little bit weird.)
1 cup of heavy cream has 500 calories, is low in sugar, heavy in fats.
...well, assuming he's not lactose intolerant. Otherwise, akward.
