Not sure if it's feasible for an athlete during season, but for a home office guy like myself it's an amazing tool. I might get back into shape by the summer if I can keep this up (was doing sports most of my life but really messed up my early 30's in the last couple of years).

Do you drink alcohol? I also have high BP and gastro problems. Both have tanked since I quit drinking. It's funny how many people don't realize that alcohol is actually just us poisoning our bodies.
I haven't tried fasting yet, but I have tried a few meal replacement products. I also run 2 miles a day which is excellent for blood pressure and many other ailments.
