Morphology
fast-paced + lifestyle
The phrase is compositionally built from 'fast' (quick) + 'paced' (having a pace) modifying 'lifestyle' (way of living), so the sense 'a way of living characterized by a quick, busy rhythm and little downtime' follows directly from the parts. This is a common, cross-linguistic pattern (e.g., Spanish 'vida acelerada'), so an average B1 learner who knows the constituents should be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Fast-paced lifestyle comes from the simple image of life moving like a quick beat or a fast walk: fast-paced shows a quick pace and lifestyle is the usual way someone lives. So it means 'a way of living with constant activity'.
